I have a pen that is 181 cm x 200 cm, is this large enough for 5 guinea pigs? I calculated the square foot as 38 but that seems higher than it should be, and I dont want to be yet another small pet owner failing their pets, so I want to be sure... Sorry if this kind of stuff is always asked. I am disabled and have a hard time calculating things.

The pen is two 6ft pens combined.

Your enclosure is big enough, in fact it’s beyond recommend for five so you are fine!

( Five piggies need a 7x2 c&c cage (which measures 250x77cm) which calculates out to 20 square feet.
Your 181x200cm enclosure is bigger than a 7x2 c&c and calculates to 38 square feet)
 
Thank you! I am so relieved, having even more space than needed sounds perfect :D
