New Born Pup
Look so the problem is I love my piggies and I got a new one so now I have two but I’m wondering should I get more? I don’t have much money and they have a fairly small cage.
Should I get more guinea pigs?

If you can’t afford to have more piggies or a bigger cage, then no don’t get more. You are better off to focus your attention and finances on the two you have By ensuring their cage is big enough and that you have a good vet fund saved up to be able to step in if emergency care is needed. Piggies, as exotic animals, can be very expensive in their vet care, and i know vet care is even more expensive in the US.
two sows need a minimum cage of 120cm x 60cm, and two boars need a cage of 180cm x 60cm, so if their cage is smaller than this, then you are better off upgrading their cage.

I’m afraid if you don’t have much money (in general) then it’s not really a good idea to have guinea pigs with their high vet costs. If you have boars you need to provide them with a 180x60cm cage. Lack of space can be the downfall of a boar bond. Depending where you got them from, you need to double check the sec to make sure they’re both boars or sows. If they’re sows I’d also think about giving them 150x60cm. By the time you put in the hides in a 120x60cm cage, there isn’t much space for them to run around.
