How many guinea pigs can you have in 8x3 C & C Cage. I have 5 piggies at the moment. Could 8 piggies live in a cage of this size

Hello and welcome to the forum. Here is our cage size guide but I don’t think it goes up to 8 piggies!

@Piggies&buns do you have further guidance?

Thanks 
Yes, on square footage it should be ok for 8.
(An 8x3 converts to just over 30 sq ft.
10 square feet is needed for two piggies and then an additional two square feet for each additional piggy so going strictly in that basis you could technically fit 12 in a cage of that size. Of course, you are always better off to put less piggies in a larger space though).
