Two pigs

I have two girls. Im getting ready to make them a c&c cage, infact the coroplast is being picked up tomorrow.

Do I need to keep two food bowls in their cage?
How about water bottles and pigloos?

Congrats on your new pigs. I obviously haven't been here very long, but I figured I'd tell you what's in my C&C cage. I have a pigloo and a cardboard log (you can buy them at pet stores) in case they want separate hidey holes. I have one big food dish and a very large water bottle, a folded up towel (my girl likes to sleep in it), a tennis ball to bump around, a bounce back toy, and a few chew wood things. (Right now they are separated due to being separate genders, but that's what they had before I found out). Hope this helps!

you don't need to have two food bowls or water bottles. I have 5 sows all living together who share a large bowl and bottle. It's good to have several different hidey places though because like us they may want some time alone even if they get on great.

Thanks a bunch. im going to make up their cage after school today.

If you have boars it's a good idea to have two of everything to avoid dominance issues. I suppose it is possible a very dominant sow may prevent other sows feeding and drinking. For now one of everything should be enough.

I have two girls. So far i havent had a problem. They have ben good. Thanks a bunch everyone.

I guess I spoil my babies cause they each have a bowl for fresh veggies, and each have their own water bottle. They do however share a pellet bin and a hay rack.
