Re: Do I have the Oldest Guineapigs?

No idea they just keep going! They do live in the house once winter really sets in but only now they are older and they have been out in some freezing weather over the years. Trouble is now I am looking for signs of anything age related and do think the worst if one is off colour even though that is very rare.

Re: Do I have the Oldest Guineapigs?

Have heard of some reaching 7 but never 8. Mine have all been around 4/5 years old.

Re: Do I have the Oldest Guineapigs?

The oldest I have had is six years. The average age is around 5 to 7 I think so yours are doing really well to get to eight.
