We finally ordered a new cage for the pigs! For 3 pigs it will be 2x6 c&c. The one we have is only 2x4, so it will be a nice upgrade. But the issue is since we have a divider to protect Piglet from George, I'm wondering how much space to allot for Piglet. Currently he has only 2x1.5, (believe me I know how cramped it is, especially with a pigloo) how much should we give him when the cage gets here, so that all 3 can be comfortable? I would have liked to get a 3x6 but it just wasn't feasible as far as space for where the pigs go.
 
I would personally have two 2x3's as 2x3 is ok for two pigs (meets the rspca minimum) and you ideally need 2x3 for a single as they still need the space for the "mad half hour" cage laps
 
Well like i said i unfortunately have only so much room for their cage, but 2x6 is a lot better than 2x4! I can't go up either, because the pigs never figured out how to use ramps! So for 2x6 what would be good for one?
 
Can you stack your cage? The lone pig would be on one floor, and the pair would be on another floor.
 
I guess I could, but I feel like Piglet benefits from side by side living quarters. This baffles me, but Piglet and George will sit side by side with the bars between them. But if they were out with a divider they fight. Actually one time I came downstairs and found Piglet quivering after george attacked him,and he barely made it through...but they are friends through the cage!
 
Personally I wouldnt stack in this instance as I think that the single would benefit from conpany through bars and 2x6 would work out fine for all three if you divide down middle x
