    Size Room for 4?

    My cage is a 2x6 c&c with a 1x2 loft, right now we have three pigs, but I've been thinking about adopting one more little girl. I know 2x6 isn't all that much for 4 pigs so any opinions would great. In our current house there really isnt any room to expand there cage anymore width or length wise...

    Weight gain for young piggers?

    How fast should young pigs put on weight? Both our little ones seem happy and are very active, eat/drink/poop constantly. They're about to hit 3months old and have been gainning about 1oz a week does that sound right? The male is 12oz and the female is 13oz.
