Could he get sick if I fed him this?

[purple blobs]

I was going to buy the Excel food cube for guinea pigs but I bought the one for rabbits by accident! Will my guinea pig get sick if he eats it or will it be ok? I have the receipt, I just want to know, incase... here's the site:

I bought it from petsathome, not the site

Don't think it would make him sick, but piggies and buns have different nutritional needs so seeing as you haven't given it all ready, I wouldn't feed it him...

I fed him the guinea pig one before

I would go back and change it for the guinea pig one.

Rabbit food and guinea pig food are almost the same but they have slightly different formulas to suit the diets of both.
Guinea pigs are unable to create their own Vitamin C so their food contains additional of this. Rabbit food doesn't provide enough vitamin C for them and contains additional vitamin D which is much needed by rabbits.

Guinea pigs can have rabbit food as a one off but I wouldn't do it.
