A pet lover has been forced to remove 100 guinea pigs from her home.

The woman from Kent is said to have contacted the RSPCA after the animals kept breeding, leading to them overrunning her home.

The owner purchased just two guinea pigs in 2009, but they have since bred constantly.

The animal welfare group has removed the pets in batches from her home in Sittingbourne, but has left the unnamed woman four of the same sex in order to avoid the breeding issue.
