Well I'm not going to answer all of your questions as that would take far too long but I will answer the ones that I feel need an answering to:
-If they don't go in my care then they will go to a pet store or adoption place in detroit which doesn't know anything about guinea pigs, if I don't take them in then they are most likely going to a home (If they even do) that knows not even half as much as the
cavy slave should know. Also I don't know if they would all get along, They most likely would but you never know. Right now the two guinea pigs that are at my friends house live together and they like eachother so if I had those two meet the two I have then they might be friends and this might be a good idea. Basically every other month when I buy all my resupply stuff what ever money I DONT spend will go to their emergency stuff (I already baught a bunch of toys and treats so those I won't need to worry about).
-It won't be much of a problem taking care of the pigs as far as cleaning up after them becuase I switched to fleece and I have only had to vacuum it up once and the bedding underneeth only needs to be replaced in the 3 pee spots every 3 days.
-Lap time might be a little hard but I normally regulate it every day a new pig gets more time than the others and that seems to work fine for snickers (He will now let me pick him up with out having to chace him) but I just don't know if 4 day intervals will do any pig any good. and mind you that pumba ( the one from my friends house) was abused and he has scars on his bottom where the other guinea pigs would pick on him and beat him up but herbie actually used to be a show guinea pig and has a rare color about him with ruby eyes. They are both good piggers and I think I'm going to get them after all I mean they need me. Its me or a 12'' X 24'' old fish tank for probably the rest of their life (I'm refering to a pet store cage if you don't already know).
