Have another question for rabbits.?

Question

I have heard it is ok for rabbits to eat guinea pig food but not the other way around. Besides giving them fresh fruits and veggies and lots of hay.

Answer 1

Fiber is vital to the normal function of the digestive system in rabbits. Fresh grass hay and vegetables should make up the bulk of the diet for house rabbits. Feeding a diet consisting mainly of pellets may result in obesity and increase the likelihood of digestive problems. While there is some fiber in pellets, it is finely ground and does not appear to stimulate intestinal function as well as fiber found in grass hays. Roughage also aids in the prevention of hair balls. The addition of some pellets does add some balance to the diet, however.
Anything other than hay, vegetables, and pellets is considered a treat and should be feed in strict moderation. The digestive system of a rabbit is very susceptible to serious upsets if the diet is inappropriate. The amount of pellets should be restricted, especially in overweight rabbits, but any reduction in pellets should be made up with a variety of fresh vegetables and unlimited access to hay.

Answer 2

The main part of a rabbits diet should be free choice grass hay, like timothy hay. Avoid alfalfa--it is too high in calcium and will cause health problems. Guinea pig pellets tend to be lower in fiber than rabbit pellets. Rabbits should have rabbit pellets, but not more than 1/4 cup per 5 lbs. of body weight per day. Green leafy vegies are OK, but other vegies and fruits should be very limited.

Answer 3

Rabbit tend to nibble away on about anything including electrical wires and plastic poop trays, at least mine does. And she is very particular too, expects everything to be the same in her space. She likes to move things around and will put things back in place. I don't know a lot about guinea pigs, but would recommend they are fed guinea pig food.

Answer 4

yea that is good but piggys cant not have food.


good luck!!
