question about making a c&c cage

[trista81]

going to be making a c&c, just wanted to know if 2 grids by 4 is big enough for 2 or 3 piggies, this will be my first time making my own cage, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It is big enough for 2 pigs. a 2x5 for 3 pigs

ok, thank you very much, i currently have 2 skinny pigs, one female and the other male, so i'd like to make a stacked cage, because they are separated of course, but both of them need cage mates.....and you never know....always gotta leave space for another one!

yes a 2x4 stacked cage should work fine

So you would need 24 grids and 2 sheets of Coroplast, mind you.

Boys generally need more space (In my case females as well), I would aim for a stacked 2x5/3x4 to make sure you have enough room in case there are any dominance issues.
