This cage is much better than a rabbit cage but I feel like it is too small for two guinea pigs. Have you considered making your own cage? There are many websites dedicated to this. ( https://abyssinianguineapigtips.com/make-guinea-pig-cage/ ) ( https://diyprojects.com/diy-guinea-pig-cage-ideas/ )

I would recommend buying a cage with plenty of room for Daisy and Stella to move around. If they are new additions to the house I would take them to a vet for a good exam to make sure they are healthy. At local pet stores they sell bedding and food for guinea pigs. I recommend handling them often which helps make them friendly and become a good pet

I'm sorry but your photos did not come through. But, I can tell you that for one guinea pig the recommended hutch dimensions are: 7.5 square feet cage (minimum), but more is better; generally 30" x 36" is a good size.

I think at least for a few days until you figure out if they get along, this setup is ok. Long term, it'd be great if both pigs had a larger area at least to play in, like a playpen or other kind of pig-proofed room in your house. Have fun!
