Rabbits are not rodents they are of the order of Lagomorpha.
They were once considered rodents but that was changed around 100 years ago.
Rabbits can eat GP food without problems but GP's can't eat rabbit food.
Changing a rabbits food suddenly can cause problems with their GI tract.
You should aim to provide your rabbit with a good quality rabbit pellet. The house rabbit society is a good place for information as is the yahoo group Etherbun.

Ok. Guinea pig food and rabbit food are the SAME!! You have to add a daily supplement of vitamin C to guinea pig diets. You usually add it to the water in the form of liquid supplements. Guinea pigs cannot store vitamin C and will get scurvy if it isn't supplemented.

It's OK for rabbits to eat Guinea pig food but not OK for Guinea pigs to eat rabbit food.
It just had added vitamin C

Your Guinea Pig would desire to in basic terms eat foodstuff it extremely is for guinea pigs. Hamster foodstuff does not incorporate the right supplementations and so on that a Guinea Pig needs. Guinea Pigs choose a daily dosage of diet D (i think of or it perhaps C) and hamster foodstuff does not incorporate this. So please get the right foodstuff. i'm unsure the place you reside yet once you're contained in the united kingdom, pass on your community Pets at domicile, they are very knowledgable.
