I've been wondering, is there any way to get a cage that's 3.5x3.5ft? I have zero experience with C&C cages and I don't even know if I'd want a C&C, but then I don't know if you could get grids that size either.

I'm not looking to get pigs again any time soon, btw, I'm just curious for the future.

3.5" is also roughly 42" or around 106-107cm.
 
3x3 C&C grids is about that size, Ollie and Tallulah live in a 3x3 square shape minus a corner grid to fit in an annoyingly shaped alcove! So its a 4x2 floor space, what we actually bought was a 3x2 with a 1x2 loft and added the loft on the side at floor level. With the proper connectors that leave a little gap between the 35cm grid panels, its exactly 110cm per side :)
 
Thank you @PigglePuggle! Tell Ollie hi for me :)

I'm thinking next time I get piggies I want them off of the floor...for my back's sake anyway lol. A rectangular table is easier but then I was wondering, what if I ended up with a square table to put something on? And while I love the Midwest and would have no issues going back to it if needs be, if I could get something that was entirely open (like, the Midwest has the cage sides between the divide) then that's what I'd prefer. But if 3x3 grids would be that size roughly, then 3.5x3.5ft is still big enough for a boar pair.

I guess the next question is, is paper bedding still an option with a C&C? Like if the correx was cut to appropriate sizes and so on would paper bedding be an issue?
 
My main herd have a 3x2 area of paper bedding in their big C&C in the section I cant reach to spot clean too well where we put the floor hay, and its fine! Properly cut correx keeps in paper bedding very well, you just duct tape the corners securely.
We have fleece for Ollie and his wife because a) he has slightly disabled back legs, and b) he eats paper bedding like its pellets in a slightly obsessive way, so no paper bedding for Ollie!
