Would a 2x4 attached to a 2x5 l shaped cage be big enough for 5 female pigs

My pig was sitting on my keyboard Silly Lilly: oopigsooiokj6666666666y7gyio

That would be the equivalent to a 2x9 so that should be large enough. If you can, a 3x6 or 7 would be better. Wider cages tend to cut down on fights when housing more than 3 pigs.

sadly I dont have the room to go bigger. I could do a 5x3 but thats even smaller then the L. If possible I can always seperate like the 2 new piggies could have a 24 and the other 3 could have a 2x5? Im looking to adopt 2 skinny piggies to join my herd.

A 2x9 should be large enough. :) Especially considering they aren't males.

The piggies Im looking at is a neutered male paired with a spayed female skinny pigs. Our local shelter wont adopt out pigs until they are spayed or neutered :)

I think more space would be better than a wider cage as far as cleaning wise. that will be like a mansion!
