Pork
Sus scrofa domesticus
Pork is pig meat—bacon, ham, sausage, and roasts are common on human plates. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas are herbivores built for hay and plant foods, not animal protein. Pork can cause choking, gut blockage, and serious digestive upset in small pets. Never offer pork or other meats to your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla; stick to species-appropriate hay and greens instead.
