Mice are omnivorous, but guinea pigs or rabbits are strictly
herbivorous. I doubt that guinea pig or rabbit food would be
nutritionally adequate for mice. I also doubt they would want to eat
it. I used to buy a kind of mouse food that had a few of those alfalfa
pellets mixed in, and the mice would eat everything else and leave those.
