Giant guinea pig (Cavia porcellus)

In contrast to a normal domestic guinea pig, which is fully grown at one year of age and then weighs around 1kg, a Cuy already reaches this weight at the age of four months. The final weight of a cuy is 2-3 kg. In its South American distribution, the Cuy is bred for meat production.
