on the caresheet here it says rabbit food can be fed with the greens and fruits and stuff and I was just wondering if they could be substituted with ginuea pig food since I have a ginuea pig and have the food already, as far as I know the only differnce is the piggy food has added vitamin C, but correct me if im wrong

I'm not a big fan of anything other than fresh veggies for my Ig's, but Rich wrote the caresheet and he knows his stuff.

I believe its the alfalfa in it. It should be the main ingredient in both rabbit and g-pig pellets, so I don't see why you couldn't use it. Hmm, there aws some sort of huge controversy about alfalfa pellets and sprouts at Melissa Kaplan's site that I was reading several months ago. Apparenty, one of them is bad for igs or something, but I really don't remember the details. You may want to go to http://www.anapsid.org and find out. I also know that a lot of the stuff on that site is pretty old, so things may have changed. I'm really no expert on iguana nutrition

Quality rabbit pellets are pure alfalfa, without any animal protien fillers and are safe to use. I occassionally mix they in with my fruit/veggie mix. You do have to make sure that they are wet. I would not use the guinea pig pellets. Rabbit breeders that show their rabbits are expressly forbidden to use animal products in the feed and will be disqualified if they do.
The thing about alfalfa sprouts is that they are basicly useless as far as nutrition is cconcerned.
