Hi, I'm looking for divided cage ideas please.

I had Shadow and her sister in a 3x5. Her sister is departed, we got Miffy. They get on so well divided, but bonding turned into a teeth bearing lunge, so by default, they have 5x1.5 each.

I'm wondering about rebuilding to have adjoining 2x3.5 cages each, with maybe very low 1x2 lofts. I know that's within recommended minimum, but would that really be big enough? I've not planned cages for divided pigs before. (They're 3 and approaching 5 years old)

They spend a lot of time together, at different bits of their adjoining border, so I'd like that to continue, rather than have an L shaped or stacked cage.

I would forego the loft and extend to 2x4 each if you can. I would set it up so the long side is the one that’s shared. Remember with grids you can do a shape that fits around the area.

You could also try looking in the c&c cage thread for ideas on layout.
