Is A 2x3 Cc Cage With A Loft Big Enough For 2 Boars?

[bklynbee]

I am thinking about building my piggies a cc cage. I really would love to have a 2x4 for them
but unfortunately i dont have the room. Would a 2x3 with a loft be sufficient? Also does anyone have the exact measurements for each size? Thanks!

Ideally it should be bigger but it is rspca recommended minimum. How well bonded are they?

 

[bklynbee]

They are very well bonded I adopted them together.

I personally think that is too small.

How many piggies? If its two then its fine as bigger then a 120cm shop brought cage which rspca recommends as minimum cage size.

Personally I think its fine, a ferplast 120 gives about 0.6 sq m (the base slopes) and a 3x2 without the loft gives 0.7 sq m so with the loft its actually quite a lot bigger than the commercial cages that are considered the bare minimum.

 

[bklynbee]

Yes 2 piggies. I might be able to fit a 2x4 diagonally. I will just have to put it together and try it out

 

[Briony_S]

You could also try an L shape for a bit of extra space

I keep male pairs in a 2x3 fine its loads bigger then a 120 cage as wider and slightly longer like Bekki says

That sounds fine....obviously there more space the better but you also have to fit in the house as well!

As my trio has been split the c and c cage has been split to 2 x 3 with a 3 x 1 loft. Speaking to someone from a rescue they seemed happy with that.

 

[Goth Mummy]

Sorry to hear your trio has been split up too, dashiman

You could overlap grids to make it that little bit bigger as well if space permitted or do a corner cage

I managed to squeeze 2x4 in the corner. I used cable ties rather than the connectors so that made it a tad bit smaller other wise it wouldnt have fitted. I had such trouble with the coroplast. Of course I didnt measure it right and the piece i bought only allowed me to do 4 inch sides. It seems ok though cause i have the fleece pulled over it on the sides so they cant burrow. I will eventually probably do the chloroplast over again. I also made a stand to keep them on so they are off the floor. Once I buy some storage bins I will take pics of the final product.
