I have a storebought cage and I do the best I can for my guinea pigs. I'm really worried that their cage is too small but my parents said they can't afford to buy a bigger cage and that we have no room.

What are the minimum size requirements for a cage for two guinea pigs?
 
Minimum is 2x4 ft (24" x 48" ). Can you contrive a second floor in your cage and build a run with a cheap shower curtain to protect the floor and some cardboard or other things as a fence?

Your cage is a bit on the small side.

I'm not sure whether I could construct a 2nd floor, the cage is quite high off the ground and has a top to it. Any ideas?

My dad is building a run for them to use whilst not in the cage though. Have no idea how big the run will be as my dad's making it by hand!
 
I don't think that will work Wiebke, my parents refuse to by off the internet. Will just have to badger my dad into making a big run for them. :)
 
I bought my cage from zooplus.com because I like you, bought a cage from P@H and realised it was too small when everything was in there.

I paid £40 at P@H and got a much bigger one off the above site for the same price with free delivery. Your pigs will be much happier. What is the reason for them not ordering online?
 
My parents are worried about people hacking into their bank etc. The cage will soon only be for the pigs to sleep in, they'll spend most of their time in the run which will hopefully be very large by the time my dad has finished building it.

Not to hijack the thread, but your parents sounds like my dad. For the longest he would not even do his banking online..he still refuses to buy stuff online because he thinks someone will steal his money lol. Quite funny in a way..Thankfully I am now an adult and do as I please. I hope your dad can build you something great. My grandpa built me my first guinea pig cage.
