Cage Does anyone else have a 3x5 cage?

In anticipation of our new girl getting sprung from quarantine, I have built a HUGE 3x5 cage that will house 2 females. Looking at it all complete it looks HUGE! I know they say "bigger is better" but is this TOO big for 2 pigs? I will try to post pictures soon, as I am quite proud of my accomplishment. BTW, it does have a 2nd level that serves as a kitchen/extra (like they really need it ) running area. Am I crazy or just obessed with these two wondrful creatures?

I have a 3x5 C&C cage and when I don't have a foster guinea pig my single guinea pig gets the entire thing! She doesn't have a piggy friend because she is extremely aggressive with other pigs. I think it's a great size for two pigs You can never go too big with guinea pigs!

It can never be too big. I just moved my 5 pigs to a 60 square foot cage and they have never been happier. They also get along better. My 2 overweight pigs lost weight too.

I have a 3x5 cage for my 3 little pigs. It also has a second level. You can view picture of it on my profile.

I absolutely love my cage and NO, it's not too big. Truly, I couldn't be any happier with it and I think the piggers love it too.

I have a 3x5 for my herd of four, and I absolutely love it! I will never go only 2 grids wide again for my pigs. In all honesty, when you go from 2 wide to 3 wide, your loss of floor space seems very little, but the increase in their floor space is awesome to see. Your pigs will be thrilled!

Edit: expanding my cage to 3-wide also helped calm tensions between all of my pigs. My latest addition was quite dominant, so her and my other dominant sow needed the extra room. Squabbles have become nearly non-existent since the expansion.

VERY nice! Mine is 3x5 but the upper level is L shaped 1x3 and then 1x5. I've been trying to get pictures but haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for sharing!

Your going to have so much fun watching your piggies do zooms and popcorns all over that nice sized cage!
