Can a guinea pig eat hamster or gerbil food?

Not as a steady diet, each food is specfic to maintain a balanced diet to each animal. I would not give guinea pig food to a rabbit as an example for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be perfectly honest, all the food produced commercially for rodents and vermin is basically the same stuff. There are a few that are higher quality, but all-in-all the same. Y-THINK-Y Guinea pigs, like humans, cannot make their own vitamin C, but it is essential that they get it. If you are not going to feed your piggy proper food, you will have to supplement its water with vitamin C (you can get it at the pet store). In the water, it breaks down quickly, so you will have to change its water atleast once a day. It is much easier to just feed your piggy guinea pig food.


Why does your guinea pig choke when eating?

Maybe it doesn't like the food or might not be hungry. If you change the food and it still won't eat, maybe take it to the vets to see if he is ok. Hope it helps. Btw, my guinea pig won't eat either. I'm going to change the food soon and see if that helps.
