Rabbit pellets are designed very specifically to meet a rabbit's dietary needs, and since rabbits eat very unique diets, their pellets are not suitable for other animals. Other animals should eat pellets made specifically for them or else they will suffer from malnutrition and fall ill.
DebateOne person wrote: Guinea pigs, hamsters, and mice can also eat rabbit pellets.Another person wrote in response: Hamsters and mice are omnivorous, which means they require animal protein in their diet and they can digest animal fats; rabbits, on the other hand, are vegetarian (vegan), and their pellets should be low in protein and fat -- in other words, these animals eat very different diets and therefore can't eat the same pellets. Guinea pigs (cavies) are more similar to rabbits but they have special dietary needs too, and they should eat a pellet made just for them (for instance, they need vitamin C and their pellets will have this added, whereas rabbit pellets don't).

Your rabbit is picking around the pellets?
If your rabbit is eating other food presented to it, most likely the pellets are stale or tainted, and so your rabbit is finding them unappetizing. Try changing to a fresh batch and see if your rabbit likes them better. Pellets should not be purchased in large quantities or kept for long periods of time, as they can easily spoil. Also, rabbits should not be fed only pellets, they need a balanced diet which includes plenty of fresh vegetables. But if your rabbit is not eating anything at all, best get it to a vet. Rabbits often pick through their pellets when they're given a "muesli" (pellets mixed with seeds, nuts, dried fruit or vegetables, grains, etc.). This is one reason why muesli pellets aren't good: the rabbit will eat them selectively and miss out on the right balance of nutrients. Also, they tend to be too high in fats, and sometimes proteins, so they can make rabbits sick (obese in the longterm, or GI stasis in the short-term). It's better to give your rabbits "extruded" pellets (these are just plain pellets, nothing else mixed in). Even some of these pellets are too high in fats or proteins, so you should research what makes a good pellet and read the nutritional information. See the related questions below for more details and helpful links.
