A man has revealed he has so many guinea pigs it costs him £8,000 a year to feed them. Cid Dwyer, 25, ended up looking after the pets when the previous owners of his new home left 10 guinea pigs behind in February 2022.
He decided to keep them but noticed they had multiplied after the first few weeks – as the male guinea pigs were impregnating the females. Cid tried to separate the sexes, but his herd grew to 80 in just under a year before he was finally able to get it under control.
He used TikTok to learn about caring for the animals and has now become an avid guinea pig fan. The 80 guinea pigs live in Cid’s back garden in Sydney, Australia, and he spends his days caring for and hanging out with his furry friends.
