I’m away at the moment, so i’m able to rebuild my pigs cage when i return home any way i like. I previously had a 3x4 kavee cage (plastic from a 2x3 with loft and grids from other things) and my pigs got along fine in it (two boys). They also got along fine in just a 2x3, although seem more social in a larger cage. I’ve found two other males near me and would love to adopt them, but would my cage be big enough? i can’t really go any larger or add second stories etc, and the rescue pigs i want to adopt are in a tiny cage and anything would be better for them. But i just don’t know if i have enough room

Anything more than two males together is highly unlikely to work. Trying it may also cause your current two to not be able to tolerate each other anymore and you may end up with four loners.

I definitely would NOT recommend trying to put two more male pigs with the two you have. If you want to get the additional pair, just plan on keeping them in their own cage. Trying to put more than two males in a cage results in failure about 99.5% of the time, and it's possible to wind up with four solo pigs, none of whom will live with any other pig.
