Have any of you got one of these? My 2 Boys squabble a bit and I wonder if one of these would be better for them?
 
With boy pigs, the phrase ‘bigger the better’ really is true! The more space you can give them the less likely they are to get on each other’s nerves and squabble. I think a 4x2 C&C is the recomended minimum for two boys, but if you can give them bigger, that’s better!
 
Two boys need a lot of space to ensure their relationship works.
Actually I also have 2 sows like that, but I think this is less common!

Have a look at this guide, but I think with 2 boars you should be aiming for 5 x 2 C&C grids, and any loft space you can add is just a bonus.

I think a 5x2 would be the minimum, but I recommend a 6x2. I have a 5x2 for my sows and I personally think they need more space.
