2. which is better to get guinea pigs from, petsmart of petco. and yes i have looked at petfinder and there are no guinea pigs anywhere near me.

3. how much space is ideal for 1 and for 2 piggies. i cant make one so dont suggest that, and i cant get one online so find a petstore that has one or something.

4. which is cheaper ... petsmart or petco ?

2. Look in the local paper, check with the pet shelter, they take in more than dogs and cats!

3.a site for more info and cages with pictures and space requirements

You can make payment arrangements with the seller directly if you can't buy on line!

As an idea how about one of those portable play yards they make for little kids? You might have to modify it a little(the spaces in the "fence" might be to big and the pigs might escape!) I have one from Babies R Us that was about $65

We used square trashburners as cages. you can take them out side and set them down. That way the pigs can munch on grass right through the bottom of the cage. You end up with square shaped bare places but they love being outside! The wire bottom isn't to great on the feet so you have to be careful when moving them around. You could get one at Home Depot type store.
