Welcome to the forum As long as it follows these specifications you can use those grids:

As for the pack, how many are in one pack? You will need a 2x5 cage for two male pigs, so if you were to put the cage on the floor + the top you would need at least 24 grids in total. Depending how old the pigs will be you will also need to babyproof the cage. On a site note, depending on where you get the pigs, please consider rescuing/adopting them rather than buying them from a petstore or breeder. There are a lot of pigs out there in need!

Since you're new here, here are some recommended guides to read:

and of course check out all the sticky posts on these forums. good luck, and I'm looking forward to seeing your cage and pig pigtures!

Thank you, I am not sure how many are in a pack, and yes I have considered that, but no shelters near me have piggies.

a pack of grids from kmart that is supposed to make 6 cubes, has 23 grids. if you count how many grids you need to build the cage pictured, you can figure out how many boxes you need to buy.

Also, before buying pigs, check on craigslist. wherever there are pet stores that sell pigs, there are pigs being given away. (also, a lot of people on Craigslist are trying to give away their pigs asap, so you may be able to get a pair for cheap/free. just make sure to check their gender and make sure they're both boys)

I bought Kmart cubes and they're the 8*8 grids, and some are 9*9. I had thrown out the receipts, so it wound up being a waste of money. We were lucky and got some 9*9 grids from a friend, so I used the Kmart grids for the base and to build some stuff around the house.

so there is no way of telling if your getting 9 or 8? the picture shows nine, but all the other cages are expensive, so I feel like that's a good cage

Yeah, I looked on craigslist, and there is some, but none close to me, most are hours away, yes I made sure I put in the correct Zip Code

Also, it seems I'll need 2 packs :S

 

[peachyteen]

if the pictures of the grids show 9, it'll be 9 across.

The Stor brand are 9x9. Twenty three come in a box if you get the six cube set.

Cool, I will get one at first, and expand new month or so, because I'm low on money, But I'll totally post pictures once it's done, Thats all the help it need!
