Rabbit vs. Guine Pig feeders

Other than the obvious difference in smell etc, is there any difference between the too (nutritional value etc)?

Thanks

Everyone I've talked to has stated that guinea pigs aren't great as a steady food item for most herps- that they are extremely high in fat.

Thank you! That is exactly the information I was looking for. I tried googling for an answer - but nothing.

Thanks again

I have 22 adult female boids ( retics, burms, redtails) and guinea pigs have been a staple of there diet for 7 years now and it works out great. It is perfectly fine to feed guinea pigs regularly. I breed rabbits and guinea pigs and there diet is almost identical. Just my 2 cents. I would feed guinea pigs over rabbit any day!!!
