Field Scenario

A customer wants to feed their new guinea pig and rabbit the exact same food and housing setup since they consider them similar enough “small pets.”

What You Actually Explain

• Rabbits and guinea pigs have genuinely different dietary and housing needs despite common grouping
• Guinea pigs specifically require dietary vitamin C, similar to humans
• Recommend species-appropriate food and housing for each animal separately
• This distinction reflects real physiological differences, not just product marketing categories
