A North Carolina woman said her pet guinea pig unofficially set a Guinness World Record by performing more than 14 tricks in 1 minute.
Gwen Ford said her guinea pig, Coco, attempted the world record for most tricks performed by a guinea pig in 1 minute.
Ford said Guinness officials told her there is currently no record holder in the category, so the organization set a minimum goal of 14 tricks for setting the record.
Ford said Coco surpassed the goal, and she is now awaiting word from Guinness World Records about whether her pet is a new record holder.
Coco, who Ford adopted four years ago from a shelter, has earned nine titles in competitions and has about 70 tricks in his repertoire, Ford said. She said in a Facebook post that she decided to pursue the record because of Coco's age.
