Okay, so I had plans to make our cage bigger. But now, my mom hated the size so we had to actually cut a grid off width-wise. So from a 3x5 it went to a 2x5. I have four piggies, and I believe someone told me that the bare minimum for four sows were 2x5.
Actually, since it's up on a bedframe it did need to get a grid off, but still. Does anyone have any experiences with four sows in a 2x5? Are they happy?
So, I HOPE they're going to be still happy. We're getting piggy bedspreads soon, even though it takes 6 weeks to arrive...ugh.
Anyway, my ACTUAL question is about stacked cages. I know that upper levels do NOT count for square footage and is just extra space. However, if I had a stacked cage that was the same exact size as the bottom (2x5), would that count for square footage? I'm not hundred percent sure on stacked cages.
But, my new plans (my mom is thinking about stacked down the road, which hopefully she sticks with!) are to have two stacked 2x5s, and a 2x3 L shaped loft at the top. Before I get the stacked I'm still going to get the 2x3 L shaped loft for them, for their kitchen.
So, does anyone know if stacks count for square footage?
