                  Pictures of Gizmo the guinea pig and his owner Edith

                  Weighing in at over three pounds, Gizmo the guinea pig could very well be the biggest of his species in the UK.

                  Owner Edith Rotherham says Gizmo, who’s more than twice the size of the average fully grown guinea pig, is so big he needs a hutch all to himself to stop him from crushing her other pets.

                  What’s more, Gizmo isn’t even a fully grown adult yet – so he’s got even more growing to do.

                  Edith, 44, said: ‘I feed Gizmo three times a day, curly kale, muesli, and hay, and I don’t think he eats any more than my other guinea pigs.

                  ‘He just keeps getting bigger and bigger almost by the day.

                  ‘About three months after I first got him, I was shocked by how much weight he was putting on and I took him to the vets.

                  Gizmo, a four-year-old short-haired guinea pig. A guinea pig tipping the scales at over three stone is believed by his owner to be one of the largest in the UK. See SWNS story SWLNguineapig. Gizmo, a four-year-old short-haired guinea pig, was adopted by Edith Rotherham,44, in 2018 from Pets at Home in Cleethorpes. Weighing 21 kilograms - the same as around 10 bags of sugar ? she was told by the vets that her 46lb 5oz guinea pig was ?abnormally large? and should contact the Guiness Book of Records. Mrs Rotherham from Grimsby said she feeds Gizmo three times a day of curly kale, muesli, and hay - the same amount of food as her other 13 guinea pigs. However, Gizmo is much larger than the rest and continues to grow. When Mrs Rotherham adopted him from the pet shop, he was the normal size of a baby guinea pig. But three months later, Edith was shocked with how much weight he was putting on and took him to the vets.

                  He’s still got some growing to do (Picture: Courtesy Edith Rotherham / SWNS)

                  ‘The vet said he was healthy but naturally big so I just thought he must be big-boned.

                  ‘I take him to be weighed each month just to make sure he stays healthy.

                  ‘On his most recent check-up, the vet looked stunned and said I should contact Guinness World Records to see if he’s a record breaker.

                  ‘He’s four years old now so he’s not even fully grown and just keeps getting bigger.’

                  Interestingly, there is no formal record for the heaviest or largest guinea pig, so there’s currently no record for Gizmo to break.

                  Edith first bought short-haired Gizmo from a pet shop in 2018, and now lives with 13 other rescue guinea pig siblings in their home in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

                  ‘Gizmo is one of my favourite guinea pigs,’ she said.

                  ‘He is loving and will sit on your lap and chatter away – he’s very noisy.

                  ‘He is also very mischievous and always the first one to grab the treats. He is nosy and likes to explore.’

                  Gizmo isn’t the only one of Edith’s adorable pet rodents to have been exceptional.

                  Her 13-year-old guinea pig Bear was almost crowned the oldest guinea pig in the UK in 2019, but he died before the record was confirmed.

                  The oldest official guinea pig to date is still Snowball, who died in February 1979 at age 14 and 10-and-a-half months old.
