ok. i am gonna ask my parents soon if i can have two guinea pigs. i found this one and like it since it is attractive and seems ok. is it big enough? and does it look like a good choice?
sensible comments welcome

The problem here is that even the "extra large" cage with dimensions of 52"x23" is the bare minimum for ONE pig. And it costs $200 plus shipping! Holy cow!
See this site for minimum space requirements: http://www.guineapigcages.com/
You will never find an adequate cage in a petstore or online. The very best thing to do for your piggies is to build them a C%26C cage (see website above for info %26 instructions). These cages are inexpensive (about $50) and can be put together in about 20 minutes once you have the cubes, Coroplast %26 some nylon zip ties.
Good luck!
Looks perfect to me, good luck with your piggies.
I think its a tiny bit too small for two guinea pigs. If you get one it should be fine though.
If you get the larger one it should be fine.
Make sure they have enough room for at least 2 or 3 hops across the cage.
You should try ebay, you will get bigger/nicer cages cheaper :)
Good Luck with your little piggies.
I got an indoor hutch with a run attached underneath which is brilliant

is similar to the one i got
It is big enough for more but two is good.
the extra large one is enough for 1 and a half pig...make a C%26C cage..its much cheaper and u can choose the size.make it as big as possible(of course not gigantic..bt big enough ) and ur pigs will be very happy(=
