Hi Rachael,

It doesn't really matter, either two or three is okay.  I think two might be less likely to fight, but I do both in different cages.  Just make absolutely sure that they are all the same sex.  Pet stores make a lot of mistakes when sexing guinea pigs.  Then watch them closely for the first few days to make sure they aren't fighting.  If you have problems, let me know.

If you can find a breeder it would be better.  Email the ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association) for a breeder near you.  Their website is www.arba.net.  They will be glad to let you know who breeds cavies near you.  You can also try the ACBA (American Cavy Breeders Association) at www.acbaonline.com

Good luck with your cavies (guinea pigs).
