Well they are both part of the rodent family but they have many differences like the guinea pig is bigger, less flexible, guinea pigs are not supposed to run in wheels or balls cause of their spine is not supposed to bend that way, they have different nutrients that they require so their food is different, i know that guinea pigs can see colours (not sure about hamsters). there is much more things but I am out of what i can immediately think of.

Guinea pigs can grow up to about 20cm-25cm and some species of hamsters can grow up to about 10cm-15cm. Therefore a guinea pig is the larger animal of the two by quite a long way!

Guinea pigs is a lot bigger than hamsters. A hamster is about the length of one baseball while an adult guinea pig is about the size of three baseballs.
