We are getting two piggies. This may be a silly question, but do we need a water bottle for each pig(two bottles)? Do we need for food dishes too?(a set of 2 bowls for each pig. two bowls for pellets and two bowls for veggies)?

HOLY COW!!!!! A dozen FULL GROWN pigs eh. I have 13/five adults and eight babies barely over a week old now. I can't imagine how much WORK you must do Course I will not have 13 much longer (about a month longer now) and I am run ragged keeping up with my little shitters LOL. Kudos to you for your dedication to your kids. Mine have squabbles over the four food bowls in the main pen where they are kept 10 hours a day but nothing serious. I only put one bottle in the pen and they do fine with that too but I do think having some extras for multiple pig households isn't a bad idea. Like you said, it all depends on the pigs personalitiesMy piggies seem to be fine sharing their. I have five girls and use two veggies bowls for them and one pellet bowl and haven't had any problems, and three water bottles (which I refill everyday...I may give them another).
My three boys share their veggies from one bowl and pellets from one bowl also and i haven't had any problems from them either. They have two water bottles.
I also have other three girls in a separate cage. I just introduce one with the other two (the twins) and they seem to be doing ok with sharing too. Although, the one girl who was used to being by herself is being a bit shy so I gave her a separate veggie bowl. They have two water bottles. One is 32 oz...the two girls (the twins) drink a lot!
So, so far, my piggies are great at sharing
...just in case you're confused I have 12 piggies in 3 cages
