Guinea Pig years

[thussain]

My Guinea Pig is now 4 1/2, and i was wondering how old she was in the equivalent of human years.

g'pigs live 4 to 5 years on average, but may live up to 8 years. The average human lifespan used to be 4 score years & 10 (70 years) but it's probably a little longer by now. 70 divided by 5 is 14 so a rough answer is 14 human years to 1 g'pig year. yours is around 65 yo in human terms, but might live until 120yo!

Sorry ment to type 56yo in human. flipping dyslexia! lol.

I had a Guinea Pig called Dufus who lived to the ripe old age of 14 and a couple of months. so by that calculation he was almost 200 in human years.....WOW!
