Re: same as bunny?

You absolutely cannot feed pigs and bunnies the same pellets. Rabbit pellets have added antibiotics and other things in them and no extra vitamin C that pigs need. Piggie food is not formulated for rabbits.

Although you did not mention it, I wanted to add that you can also NOT house guinea pigs and rabbits together safely!

Many people think it is safe because careless petstores do this, but it is not safe!

Re: same as bunny?

You sound very smart to do your research before you get piggy(ies). Good luck if you decide to adopt. They are one of the best parts of my day.
