Your piggies should have as much floor time as you can give them, but ideally a few times a week. If their cage is only meeting minimum sizes then they will need to come out more often - if their cage is larger then they may be fine with coming out a few times a week.
I’m assuming you’ve got three sows - three sows together need a cage of 180cm x 60cm, or a 2x5 c&c cage (Which measures 180cm x 77cm).
how you can make it bigger depends hugely on what your current set up is.

So how about 2 times a week, lasting 2-3 hours, and 2×8 c and c cage?
That’s a good amount of floor time
if your cage is a 2x8 then that is plenty big enough for three sows and wouldnt need to be made bigger. With a cage that much bigger than the recommended size of 2x5 then they have plenty of space to get plenty of exercise within the cage

Yayyy! My oldest girl has been in pet store cages for years and I recently discovered how bad it was, and she isn't growing through that anymore, (I've gotten 2 more since I got her)
