About a month and a half ago, I adopted two piggies. They're my first ever, and I absolutely adore them. A week into my ownership, I woke up to find that there were 2 "extras" in my cage :P. They're all female, and they all get along.

The first thing I did, was increase their cage from a store-bought to a 2x4 C&C. Realizing, that they were all happy together, I kept them together and added another 2x4 section, so now they have 16 sq ft of cage space. Plus floor time.

Do you guys think this is big enough? I can always add more. Thank you!

That looks big enough to me. If you have the space then it would be great to extend though! haha
 
I think a 2x4 is fine for 4 baby piggys adding an extra 2x4 is over the minimum
 
Is that 2X8 for four piggies? Well, you know what they say, more is preferred! :D I'm sure they'll love it <3 According to le old chart 2X6 is minimum for 4 but I don't know if that's true :)

That is plenty for 6 piggies! ;)
The RSPCA minimum gorund space recommendation for 4 guinea pigs is 2x6 ft (or 12 square ft).
