I've been planning on getting one for ages and finally we bought the grids and coroplast last week! It's finished!! My piggies are really enjoying themselves! Popcorning and running around! My 10 month old one, Peppermint always races around it, it's too funny! She darts to one corner, pauses, then zooms around to the other side so fast!! I have a ton of videos of her doing this! Why do they do it?
My cage is 2X5 and I'm working on getting a second floor built!! I'm actually looking into getting a fourth guinea pig from the local pet shelter or anyone near by!

Hooray! If you are going to add another pig though, you will need to make the cage bigger. What you have now is the minimum for three sows.

The OP should be able to fit 4 sows in.
2x3 = 1 boy or 2 sows
2x4 = 2 boys, or 3 sows
2x5 = 3 boys or 4 sows

It isn't ideal but it is the minimum. I had the minimum sized cages for a year, until we were able to work out a bigger cage. I must say that I do prefer having a bigger cage with less pigs - there is just soo much more room for them.
