His breed is Abyssianian.

The breed really doesn't have any bearing on the answer like it would for breed of dog. There's also no life expectancy difference between males and females.

A guinea pig will, on average, live five years. Some will live a few more years depending upon how well they are cared for (housed indoors or out, quality of pellets & hay, fresh veggies, etc.).

I believe up to 2-5 years for guinea pigs.

3 to four years

On average, guinea pigs live from four to eight years, so their care is a long-termcommitment. Males are known as boars and females are called sows. Guinea pigs needcompany of their own kind and can be kept in same sex groups or in pairs.
