What is a guinea pig's life span?

Answer:
The average guinea pig lives about 5 to 7 years, if you take care of it properly.
On rare occasions they may live longer.
Something to consider is that every guinea pig is different and its impossible to determine exactly how long a pig will live. With good care and plenty of love a guinea pig should be expected to live to at least 5 years of age.
