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.
No,NEVER,EVER give a guinea pig hamster food.Hamster food contains nuts,which are fine for the hamster but will almost certainly choke your guinea pig.Also hamster food contains corn which is way too fattening for guinea pigs. And lastly a guinea pig needs a lot of vitamin C which guinea pig food has plenty of while hamster food doesn't have nearly enough,plus hamster food has too much protein for guinea pigs.
A guinea pig's brain is relatively small compared to other mammals, measuring about 6 to 7 cubic centimeters in volume. Despite its small size, the guinea pig's brain is highly developed and plays a crucial role in processing sensory information, emotions, and controlling its behavior.
A guinea pig's brain is 4 grams in weight.
It is not recommended to feed hamster food to guinea pigs as they have different nutritional needs. Guinea pigs require a diet high in Vitamin C, which is typically not present in hamster food. It is best to purchase guinea pig-specific food to ensure your pet receives the proper nutrients.
If the cage is too small take it back and get a new one! Never get anything hamster for a guinea pig. If you have a small cage then that means you got a hamster cage.
A hamster is faster as they can stretch more and are smaller. Guinea pigs are fast but as they are bigger they don't move as fast.
you shoudl not put a hamster and a guinea pig in the same cage no matter what.

Probably a Guinea Pig. They are bigger and get sick less often. They also live longer.
my adult Syrian hamster is roughly 5 inches long and an adult chipmunk is normally between 8 1/2 and 11 1/2 inches however baby chipmunks will be smaller than Syrian hamsters but approximately the same size as adult dwarf hamsters hope this helps :)
No its not, i guinea pigs cage is way bigger. & you should not have the same size of guinea pig cage as your hampster.
A guinea pig.
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. In fact, if you place food in front of a grown guinea pig, it can stretch itself to the length of a foot with ease. A hamster wouldn't stretch to that length, not even when forced.
