Amount of girls

Hi,newbie,here soon I’m getting a few females to put with my Lonley male after he gets nutered. I have a 4x6 enclosure with a double layer hutch which they can access as they please. I’m just wondering if how many sows could live happily with him.i want them to be able to run around and play still (:

i think you could have 7 as a maximum but i’m not sure

i personally wouldn’t put any more than four in that size space. It would fit more than four, but to me, it’s about giving them plenty of space rather than filling the space you have.

Looking at the RSPCA guidance depending on the size of your grids you could have up to 6 sows with him. I prefer sticking to even numbers to try and avoid an outsider situation and to be honest I would probably looking to get a trio of sows so they all have plenty of room for running around. They would definitely appreciate the space.

Welcome to the forum.
As well as space as @Piggies&buns has said it will also come down to character compatibility

Great minds think alike. I think my old c&c was pretty much 5x4 grids with a hayloft too and it was the perfect space for 4. As an added bonus there was space for me to climb in and sit down with them too!
