This site tells you how big a cage you need :

http://www.guineapigcages.com/

If you have tiny babies you need to make the correx inside the cage higher, with cardboard or something or use grids that are mesh, as the square hole ones like the pic piggypigs just showed you are a little big for them when they are very young as they may escape & as they grow you can just remove the cardboard :)
 
:)hi and thanks the only **** is i have got 3 cats and a dog and i only live in a 2 bed house and both rooms are taken at the mo the guinea pigs live in the kitchen (with me and the other half been tea freaks its working fine i am in and out of there like a yoyo lol) they are in a 4x2 cage but i know they need a bigger 1 :)
 
Yes, if they are all female they will be fine but if there are more than one males (even neutered) they wont be able to stay together. Perhaps you can tell us more? :)
 
hiya and yes they are all female thankyou and thanks about telling me about writing the hole word not just the short virson :)
 
Ahh, if they are all female then the cage sizes on this website apply

That means 4 piggies need 13sqft of space. (6ft4inches by 2ft 6inches. :) ) Hope that helped. (unfortunatly with piggies, extra floors dont count as its all about the space they have to run laps. :)
 
Hi and thankyou all the girls are out through the day in the living room in a 8x4 play pen (all the cats are out but megan the dog she fine with them) it is just on a night at the moment they are in a 4x2 cage which as got 2 layers :)
 
I'm sure this is big enough for the time being, but as said above, they will need atleast a 2x5 ft when the babies grow up. :)
