how many would this cage fit?

Assuming the 52.8" is length & 32.7" is depth this = 11.9sq ft which is fine for 3 piggies, not 4 :)
 
Good maths! Also they can't use the bottom bit all the time if it's cold or wet so it doesn't necessarily count as space.

I think you'd be better off with a 6' one-level hutch?

Assuming that the cage is most likely to be in a very sheltered area, preferably in a shed during the colder months, I’m surprised that the run underneath ‘does not count’ as useable space.
So….we tell people that this cage, which gives just under 24 square feet of accommodation, is inadequate for four guinea pigs........and then we wonder why so few people want pigs these days.
 
Brilliant, then all the space can be used. I've got an outdoor one that I use in the summer that is similar to this and I found they stayed upstairs most of the time and didn't have enough space... silly pigs!

Should've added i didn't count the run when i calculated :) If it is to be an indoor cage then yes it's good for 4 :)

you know me so well! yes, will be indoor, in our lounge to be exact. I'm going to say now, none of my piggies will EVER be outdoors, I LOVE the interaction with them and i think it's just better all round. :)):)):))

thank you for all your replies! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Hmm, well that looks like 6' x 3' for the run, which means the two hutches are 3' by probably 18"....

My maths isn't great, but I'd say that is a good size for a group of 5?

Hi Claire
982mm = 3.2ft
530mm = 20"
520mm = 19"

If depth is 19" each hutch equals 4.7 sq feet
If depth is 20" each hutch equals 5 sq feet

The 6' x 3' run equals 18sq feet

I think this is a fantastic set-up for 5 piggies :)
 
i reckon we'll have to live in a massive house for it though! LOL:)p:)p:)p:)p:)p:)p:)p:)p

making the flat more saleable. a bunch of decorating tables up one end doesn't do the flat justice!
