try and mix the new pellets in the food, and after a few meals slowly add more new food and less old food, until your only serving the new food. if your guinea isn't eating, go back to the old food right away

Does anything besides rabbits eat rabbit pellets?
AnswerRabbit 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).
