Those cages look very small, please see www.guineapigcages.com for the minimum size requirements.
Two storey cages can be suitable but the maximum space must be acheived on the bottom level (as this is the space they should have for running round laps of the cage), and space on upper levels should be in addition to this. Guinea pigs don't climb so ramps must not be very steep and should have sides to prevent the guinea pig falling from an upper level.
[edit] Those cages you've added are far too small- if your mother isn't prepared to let you get a suitable cage then you really shouldn't be getting guinea pigs. You don't have to order a cage off the internet, the c&c cages on guineapigcages.com are ones you build yourself- it's very easily to do, the materials are cheap and easy to get hold of, the cage can be made to fit your needs and will also be big enough for your new pets, unlike the pet shop cages you seem to be so keen on buying.

Two Story Guinea Pig Cage

If those are the only cages you can get, then you should not get any guinea pigs. All of those cages are way to small. Two pigs need at least 7.5 sq feet of space, that is 30" x 36".
You will waste your money on those tiny cages. http://www.guineapigcages.com/ has instructions to build the best cage. It will only cost about $40 dollars for supplies. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT FROM THEM! You can get the supplies from a sign making store(in your town) and at Target or a similar store. You can design the cage to look like you want it to, with a loft if you choose to. They are easy to build and your piggies will be much happier. Go to the site and look at the pictures from some ideas. Think of all the great things you can buy will the extra money you save!

Please do not use plastic and wire cages for guinea pigs or two storey cages. Guinea pigs are ground dwelling animals and are liable to fall from ramps and walk ways.
They like to gnaw on things and plastic and wire are no good for this.
Buy or make a wooden hutch for these lovely animals with a run for outdoor exercise on good days when the weather is dry.
They love to eat grass so a pen on the lawn is wonderful for them. A concrete of paved area is an advantage as it wears their claws down.
Care sheets are free on my web site
I have kept guinea pigs for 50 years and own a pet store

Not the best idea. Guinea pigs aren't climbers and don't do well with heights. If given second levels, many guinea pigs just ignore them. What guinea pigs really need is floor space - one large, flat area. Some pigs enjoy second levels, but most don't, and another level isn't a replacement for enough living space.

No, 2 story houses are not a good idea for guinea pigs. They don't jump or land well, and a fall could cause injury. While it is true that some males guinea pigs can live together without fighting, I have found in the 32 years I've owned and bred them that most of them will fight, so I do not recommend 2 males. Two females usually get along very well, especially if raised together.

None of those cages is adequate in the least. Your best bet is to build a C&C cage of your own. Please do not waste your money on a pet store cage.
Also, two males CAN be bonded and live successfully together, it is completely untrue that you cannot keep two males together.
You should check out guinealynx.info before you get your piggies. There is so much more info on their proper care to be found there than anywhere else, and the info you get from the pet store will not be correct.

No, please don't. Piggies are not climbers and they can slip and fall and hurt their backs. Piggies like to stay on the ground, so just get the biggest one story cage you can and put lots of fun stuff in it for them and they'll be happy. Make sure you get 2 girls because 2 boys will fight and one of each will make a whole lot of babies!

I really like the 2nd one from petsmart. a cage with 2 stories works great. it gives them lots of room. if that doesn't seem like enough room when they get bigger, i reccommend building your own cage. for the bottom use coroplast sign, and buy wire shelving to put around it. this way you can have an even bigger cage!! hope this helped:) here is a site
