The Guinness World Records for the biggest guinea pig

The Guinness World Records has a category for the biggest guinea pig, and there have been several record holders over the years. The current record was set in 2018 by a guinea pig named "Biggie" from Durham, England, who weighed in at a whopping 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds). This is more than twice the weight of an average guinea pig, which typically weighs around 700 grams (1.5 pounds). Biggie’s owner, a veterinary nurse named Hannah Kembrey, was thrilled to learn that her beloved pet had broken the record.
