4ft x 2ft for 3 girls?

[dan]

is a 4ft x 2ft hutch with an attached run ok for 3 girl pigs? in the winter the hutch has a cover that also fits right round the run. is this ok for 3 girls?

i believe for 3 pigs the minimum is 5ft by 2ft,

do you already have this? if so do they use the run underneath and would they have constant access to it?

 

[dan]

yes constant access 24/7 whatever the weather as the run is covred all the way round

 

[lauralucy]

as long as the run has a bottom that isnt concrete or grass i dont see why not.

When I added a 3rd girl, I had 3 in a 4ft by 2ft for a couple of weeks until I could buy a bigger hutch. They just about had enough room but of them was a baby.

Personally I felt it was too small for them but if yours has access to a warm and dry run 24 / 7, it may be ok

I think with the run it'll be fine.
