How big indoor cage for 3 piggies?

[JCW]

Hi, new to this and am looking to get 2 or 3 piggies. I know the min size for 2 piggies is advised as 4'x2'x2', but what about 3? Any advice?

I would add a foot per piggy.

I think it's about 5' x 3' for three piggies

I think it's 5'X2' for three girl piggies.

The minimum is 2x5 ft for three guinea pigs.

This site is good and tells you the recommended sizes of cages and gives you ideas on how to make a c&c cage if thats what your planning on doing.

Yep 5 x 2 foot but if there boys id go a little bigger to keep the arguments to a minimum

Actually, a 2x4 grid C&C cage (grid cage) has just a fraction more floor space than a 2x5 ft conventional cage (the 2x4 grid C&C is 70x140cm, therefore fractionally bigger to 60x150cm).

So if you are pinched for space, I would recommend going for a 2x4 grid C&C cage with a hayloft or a second story to provide plenty of extra space while still fulfilling the minimum requirements on ground space to satisfy any rescue.
