No, it’s not so easy to poison your hamster by giving him guinea pig food.

What can I feed my pet hamster when I’m out of hamster food?
You most certainly will have some bread around, which you can feed to your pet hamster when there’s nothing else to feed him.
Otherwise, do you have apples in your fridge?
Because your hamster can eat those as well, just give him a nibble so he can wait until you bring him his food.
