If my sister and I get two male guinea pigs how big does the cage need to be? Do they need to be seperated? Pictures or links would be great thanks!!
The bigger the better! If they're indoor guinea pigs , if you have a secure run where they can spend time outside for a few hours a day they would love that too:)

And a simple run to buy to put outside if they will be spending the majority of their time indoors:
http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets ... Two males should be fine together, just keep an eye out for any aggressive behaviour, but with guinea pigs even males often live together happily:)
You should introduce them slowly if you want them to be a bonded pair and live together. It's best if they are neutered because they will be less aggressive. Introduce them on neutral territory (usually somewhere neither of them has been is best).
The cage should be 10 times the size of the guinea pig at least, so for two make it double. Some pet stores say five times .. but really that's too small. It would be like you living in your closet.
About 100 inches long I think would be plenty by about 45 wide?
