Cage Size help

[RodentCuddles]

So on the table of cage sizes it says:

# of Pigs​	Minimum​	PREFERRED​	generally​	in grids​	in grids
	7.5 sq ft	more is better	30" x 36"	2x3 grids	27" x 41"
	7.5 sq ft	10.5 sq feet	30" x 50"	2x4 grids	27" x 56"
	10.5 sq ft	13 sq feet	30" x 62"	2x5 grids	27" x 71"
	13 sq ft	more is better	30" x 76"	2x6 grids	27" x 84"

Does that mean 2x5 is the minimum for 3 or is the preferred?

It's the preferred size but bigger is always bigger especially if you have boars. As long as it's 13sq ft or bigger it's fine

Okay thanks! I've always wanndered. I have one girl in a 2x5 so was wandering if it would be better to get her one or two friends. Yea, I always give my boars the biggest cage I can, I have three in a 2X4 +1X1 +2X3. Thanks!

A 2x4 is the minimum, a 2x5 is the recommended size.
