Cage Size For 3 Sows?

[Maisy and Poppy]

I wondered what is the minimum and preferred cage size for 3 sows?
Many thanks,

2x4 minimum, preferred 2x5.
The more space you give them the less floor time to give them. If the cage is small I.e having a 2x4 for three sows, you will have to make up for that fact by giving floor time in a large pen or free range each day.

I personally think 2x4 is for two piggies maximum, not three.

I agree with above, but I wouldn't go smaller than a 2x5 for 3 sows. The thread I have linked below gives you the cage sizes.

Thanks, love the link! Would 150cm long be okay for 3 sows?

Personally I think 150 cm (the equivalent to a 2x4 C&C cage) will be too small for 3.

Okay, what size do you recommend? 160? 180?

180cm x 60cm Minimum personally.

Okay, thanks!
