Well my cousin just had a child a week ago. She bought a guinea pig a week before that, and now she realizes she cant take good care of it, like she used to be able to. Anyway we said we would take it in. She has a bunch of hay, bedding food and stuff as well. The cage is a "Hagen Cage"? Never heard of it, but its dimensions are 2', by 18" by 22", so she says. Just wondering if this is good enough until a month or so. Im gonna be getting a lot of money, so Im going to able to afford all the supplies I need to make something like one of those cages I seen in the galleries. Im also gonna be able to afford 2 more pigs. So Im just wondering if this cage is good for one pig just for now?

Thats about a 2x1x2 cage. It sounds ok for a quarentine cage, but not for it's regular cage. If you plan on making a C&C cage, then it's fine for the time that you're building it. I just wouldn't leave it in there for any more than a month until you can get the supplies.

Maybe you could make some sort of pen to go around it 24/7 giving the pig more space.

It's fine for a short while. Give the pig lots of floortime and cuddle time outside the cage.

It's just under 2 square feet. Someone gave me one. I use it for quarantine or carrier. It is very small and you can't dfit a pigloo and bowls in there comfortably.

I'd build a C&C, or at least use the grids to make a play pen to attach.
