∙ 14y agoIf a guinea pig is not getting adequate nutrition it may start eating it's own fecal matter in an attempt to obtain nutrients that weren't absorbed the first time.
It isn't fecal matter it is pellets. Like when a cow chews cud. But a guinea-pig doesn't hav a second stomach so they diget them twice.

To give more detail, they are herbivores and their intestines are narrower and not as long as in carnivores of similar size. So their intestines are not long enough to digest all their food the first time through. So they have to eat it again to fully digest it.
