Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

You should put a large amount of regular hay on the bottom of the cage, this needs to be changed at least once a week. You also need a drinking bottle to hang on the inside of the cage and a couple of feeding bowls for the food.

You want a cage that is at-least big enough so that she can hop and have a little room to run around. Avoid wire on the bottom of the cage, because this can be hard on her feet. The bigger the cage the better.

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/ )
