Never heard from any one and its 4 boars i have not two
What do you mean you never heard from anyone? You have two threads and both have replies
You have four boars - are they in to separate pairs or do you have all four in one cage?
If you have four boars living together, then you are highly likely to run into huge problems. Boars can only successfully live in pairs for the long term. Boars struggle to form a hierarchy and functioning relationship if you try to keep more than two together.
If you attempt to keep four boars together, then you need an enormous cage measuring 400cm x 100cm. This will allow one square metre of territory per piggy. You will also need a separation plan for when fights break out but due to the problems boar quartets face, this might mean any combination going forward from a pair and two singles and at worst you could end up with four single piggies who all refuse to live together

Your other post is asking for how to expand and make a second level.
The answer in that post explains that creating a second level doesn’t count or add towards the cage size so you must make sure your cage is big enough on the ground level for the piggies you have. Upper levels are considered as bonus spaces only. Piggies are ground roaming creatures and don’t need upper levels.
If your cage does meet ground level size requirements but you still wish to make a second level, then we need to know more about your cage before we can give you tips on how to do it.
If you have two separate sets of pairs of boars, then each of their cages needs to be ideally 180x60cm on a single level (but a minimum of 150x60cm) on a single ground level
If their cage isn’t big enough on that ground level, then giving them the extra space is important particularly if they are young/not yet teenagers as space related issues coupled with teen hormones can really cause problems for a boar pair (even more so if that is a boar quartet (which is why boar quartets fail). But that as boars are territorial, any changes to their cage will cause them to reestablish their relationship. In well bonded pairs, provided caution is taken to use soiled bedding so the territory still smells of them etc, then it is a minor thing and they will be fine. In pairs where there are underlying issues, a change in territory can cause deeper issues to surface
