Hello? This site is meant to help people provide the best care for guinea pigs. If you aren't doing that, people are going to tell you that and make suggestions for making it better.

If you have a problem with the criticism you're getting for not meeting the at least the minimum requirements for cage size, why don't you stop whining and make the cage the right size? It doesn't do your pigs any good to get huffy when people tell you that you need to make the cage bigger. And your pigs are completely oblivious to your money woes.

And frankly, while it's great that you can clean the cage several times a day, that doesn't change the fact that they still need more room for exercise, and for their well-being and health in general.
