My cousin was planning to rehome her 2 fabulous female piggies so decided to take them on to join my little Herd off mine can't wait
 
I don't wish to sound negative but @kiera are you sure that you have sufficient space for an additional 2 piggies? Can you afford vets bills for an additional 2 piggies if needed? And are you really sure you can cope with an additional 2 piggies? My questions are genuinely well intentioned as it's not so long ago you were devastated at losing Jack and considering giving up your girls. Are you sure you can cope emotionally if anything happens to any of your herd?
If you and your family are absolutely certain that you can all cope physically emotionally and financially with these additional 2 piggies please make sure you read our threads about introductions

There for my sister but she doesn't know I've adopted them for her

Does your sister actually want guinea pigs, and is she in a position to be able to care for them properly?
I only ask as I know that sometimes what we think will make a wonderful gift, is not as well received as we hoped.
Trust me on this - I am the champion of giving less than ideal gifts!

Yep she does
 
I'm a little confused by the gift of someone else's piggies to you sister but when your considered giving up your own ..why you did not consider your sister as a possible new owner option to keep them under the same roof?

If you can emotionally and financially cope then by all means add to the herd, just be careful not to take on more than you can handle due to the temptation (easily done by many members taking on well intentioned spur of the moment adoptions).

Not sure what kind they are

Look like Abyssinians to me, also known as Rosette due to the fur pattern. Fur looks a little long so perhaps something else is mixed in too.

Cute girls
 
Hope you can emotionally, financially and physically support your pigs! But I'm glad your feeling a lot better. If your sister likes guineapigs then that's another pair of hands for you! Just try not to take on to much and make sure your parents and house is okay and has the capacity for all these animals! So happy your feeling better chick, good luck to you x
