Biggest number of mini-pigs in a litter?

[gingerpig]

My daughter just asked me what is the biggest number of babies a guinea pig has ever had in one litter.

Anybody know?

Five is the biggest I know of think it was one of Sokel's piggies had five he will be able to confirm or deny this 98)

3-4 is the average but I believe 8 is the most ever had in a single pregnancy...

I'm sure there was a thread on here some time back & in the Guiness book of records it was 17 :o don't quote me on that though - the old brains aren't working as well as they should!
