Guinea Pig years to human years
Do you want to convert guinea pig years to human years? Dividing average human lifespan by average guinea pig life expectancy won't give you a correct answer.
As a guinea pig's average lifespan is only 6 years, they mature quickly during their first months of life. And a 1-year-old guinea pig is already 50 in human years.
Connecting the dots on the guinea pig and human lifelines has helped make some age equivalent estimations:
| Guinea pig age | Human age |
|---|---|
| 1 month | 4 years |
| 6 months | 26 years |
| 1 year | 50 years |
| 5 years | 90 years |
