I was wondering if Guinea pigs are a good feeder or if I should stick too rats.

Thanks

Bloods CAN eat guinea pigs, but it is way too much food. Large rats are fine for adult animals for most of their life without getting fat.

I have fed my bloods guinea pigs but I prefer to use small bunnies or large rats. I have also used young chicks when they were available. I have fed dead sugar gliders with no problem.(I breed sugar gliders sometimes one dies)The main problem I see with guinea pigs is the amount of hair to meat ratio. Some people will have moral issues with the pigs but if you read your history you will learn guinea pigs were first domesticated as a food item.
