How old do Guinea Pigs get?

I have a guineapig who is 6 years +.. we don't really know how old she is but she is really old...
 
Well my Dukey boy was 6 years 8 months and 11 days............
but he has a friend in the UK who's turned 8 and another friend in the US who's also turned 8 xx>>>xx>>>

Frank i have heard of a piggie who turned 10, but i can't remember where..........:{
 
My Lennie is somewhere around 5 I believe, but could be more. He was a rescue so age was unknown. He acts like a grumpy old man and his eyesight seems to be failing too....he is lovely!
 
Nemo will be five next month - think his birthday is the 9th November if I remember rightly.:))
 
According to WikiAnswers the oldest g.pig was 14
Well we got Bubbleberry from P@H on 18th October 2002, so that makes her at least 6. I think....lol
 
My sow who died back in June was my oldest. She was 8 years and 3 months :)
 
Pauline was at least 6 1/2 years, but I did not know exactly.
 
My friend took her pigs to the vets this week and they were talking about how long they live. The vet told her that they have a patient pig who is 10 that was coming in the following day.
 
Ive got 2 girls Morgan and Lois who are coming upto 7 years old.. both are very happy, and dont seem to showing signs of age, morgan has lost a tiny bit of weight but shes still over 800g and lois is way up there around 1200g lol she has always been a big pig!
 
My oldest pig of definite age is 4 and a half, but I have a rescue pig who is believed to be 5-6 years. Just over half of my pigs will be seniors next year; two already are, three will turn 4 next year.

The oldest pig I have personally met was 9 years old.
 
I have seen two piggies on another forum who have lived to 16 and 17 years old - and still going strong! I'm staggered! Hopefully my little boar will live so long - hope I will be able to afford his hay on my old age pension!
 
My eldest are 1 year and 6 months which makes them 21 in guinea years (14 birthdays a year!) :)
 
How does that work then? 14 doesn't go into 12 or 52 very conveniently!{:|

I know haha I read it on Guinea Lynx it must be around 14 though if you think that the average guinea lives 5 years well 14x5 is 70 works out about right. And dogs is 7 years isn't it so smaller animals would be more birthdays a year. Thats my reckoning to believing it. :)

Oh I dunno I hate maths. :)
 
I had my first guinea pig - snowy when I turned 2 and he finally joined the great paddock in the sky after my 16th birthday!
