Re: Guinea pig babies as food?

Guinea pigs are higher in fat than rats or mice. Adult animals also contain more calcium than young animals, making it better to feed an adult mouse vs a baby rat, or a young adult rat vs a baby guinea pig.

That said, people do feed guinea pigs to snakes. It probably isn't harmful just to add variety or help a skinny animal gain some weight.

Here's a link to the nutritional profiles of some common feeders:
