Hi,
I have a hutch that has 0.91 square metres of space, then a run that has 1.37 square metres of space. (The run is not attached to the hutch, and so they would get access to the run everyday if it is not raining.) Is that big enough for 2 male piggies? (At the moment I only have one male and I am looking to adopt another.)
(btw in the pic the hutch has just been cleaned out that is why there is no hay/water in it, and my male piggie was out in the run.)

The run size is irrelevant to the hutch size, given its the hutch that they will be locked in at night time and for the winter, then the hutch will need to be bigger to house two boys
That hutch is not big enough for two boys - it needs to be twice the size. For two boys we recommend a hutch of 180cm x 60cm.
its only the single/ground level of space which counts - any levels which they can only access via a ramp do not count towards the hutch size
