Cage Size For 5 Sows?

[Sharon Cleary]

What is the recommended cage size for 5 sows? I currently have 2 guinea pigs, but want to adopt 3 pigs that need to be rehomed. My pigs are housed in a wooden cage I made that measures 40" x 68" (18.8 sqft2).

Will my current cage support the space required for five total sows, when I eventually decide to house them together?

Here is a picture of the cage (excuse the mess surrounding it)

Here is a good size guide for cages:

And a good American Version (in inches and square feet) is here:

But based on your measurements it should be big enough for 5 sows.
