Question
Hello

How big should a cage be for four guinea pigs? How long do they live?

Answer
Dear ?,

     I suggest at the least a 3ft by 6ft cage would be a very nice cage. Make sure they can excercise and have things to play with amd stuff to keep them having fun. If your guinea pigs are WELL taken care of they lve 4-12 years the average is six.
    Good Luck,
