Space for a lone pig

[Tracyxx]

I was wondering about this the other day..

I understand that for two piggies, the minimum reccomended space is 4x2. But what is the minimum reccomended space for a single piggy - would it be 2x1, which sounds very small?

Anyone got any lone piggers and how much space do they have?

3x2 is the minimum I would use for one pig but I do try and give 4x2 where possible. Depends on the pig, size of animal, do they like a big space etc etc? But 3x2 is my minimum for 1.

Thanks
I just wondered because I know that although most pigs prefer a pair or more, there are definately some that prefer being on their own!

Asbig as you can afford is best But minimum is 3ft by 2ft (1m by 75cm) But with boys space is needed! x

Lennie was a lone pig and he was in a c & c which was 4 grids by one and three quarters. Each grid was 14" square. We overlapped one of the grids by a quarter to give the 2 next door a bit more room. Ideally 4 x 2 is best though.

Thanks everyone. Our indoor cage is enormous so I'm sure it will be big enough for a piggy.
