The cage I have for Ferdnand is 19.5" wide, 18" deep, and 20" high.........is this big enough for 2 pigs. I am thinking of getting the other one today for Ferdnand to play with. There is also a little perch for his food and water. and a seaparate little hut.
 
Thats not a suitable cage size for 2 pigs. It way too small. A cage for two pigs should be at least 4x2 grids, which is 56" by 28".
 
too small

I'd definately build a bigger one.
 
the minimum is 28 inches or 2 grids by 3 which is 42 inches wide for one.Add another 14 inches length for another pig
 
we would prefer 2x4 grids for 2 cavies or minimum of 2x3

That cage is not even big enough for one pig! It's a broom closet.

Get rid of that piece of crap and build a 2x5 C&C for two pigs. You'll have plenty of room for the equipment you'll need for two piggies, which is two of EVERYTHING. Two hideys, two food bowls, two water bottles, plenty of toys and loads of hay. In fact, your pair would benefit from a third, neutral hidey, which the 2x5 would allow.

Also, could a mod or admin move this to Cage Chat?

Nope. That's way too small. Build a new one asap. That's what I'm doing for mine. Good luck! =)
