While guinea pigs and rabbits have similar dietary requirements, they should not eat the exact same food. Guinea pigs require more Vitamin C in their diet, while rabbits have different digestive systems and nutritional needs. It's best to provide each animal with a balanced diet specific to their species.
somewhat. but if you are getting a rodent i VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND A GUINEA PIG!!! they are more social and dont burrow that much. the only thing is they poop alot, but look on the bright side! IT DOESNT SMELL!!!!! a nutritous diet for your guinea pig would be mixed pellets. some satisfactions your guinea pig might like is timothy hay. id give it to your guinea pig once in the morning and once in the evening every day. same thing with veggies. i would suggest lettuce. spring mix by dole is very good and my guinea pig squeaks every time she hears the bag rustle! bedding is very important! try using soft bedding to make your guinea pig more comfortable for sleeping. the number 1 thing is A CAGE!!!! if you dont give your guinea pig a cage you are CRAZY!!! also, A FOOD BOWL AND WATER BOTTLE! a roomy cage is suggested. my guinea pigs cage is 30 by 17 in length, and 16 and a half inches tall. its about 40 dollars. also, a one story cage is best. guinea pigs arent climbers!!!!! so those are the basics in raising a guinea pig! i tried a hamster but,......... he hid all day and never played with me. to tell you the truth he bit me! so, GET A GUINEA PIG!!!
