You can. Rabbit pellets and guinea pig pellets are essentially the same thing. Guinea pig pellest usually have vitamin C included in their ingredients...which is an essential vitamin for a guinea pig to consume. Other animals, like rabbits, horses etc, make their own vitamin C but guinea pigs don't, so like us, they need to consume it by eating things like apples. My recommendation is that you buy guinea pig pellets; rabbits can eat them as well and you make sure your pig is getting what it needs.

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.

You accidentally bought hamster foods is OK your guinea pig eat the hamster foods?

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.


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.

Your guinea pig should get fresh food and water everyday.
