Question
I already have two male piggies that are about six months old. They are so adorable and lovely to have around, that I would like to get some more. Firstly I have two hutches approx 3ft/2ft and a run that is 4ft/7ft will this be enough. The two I have are only using one hutch the other is standing empty. The second question is what is the best way to go about getting them, as I said I already have two males, should I get two more males. What is the best way to do it?

Answer
Hi Sue

Unless males have been brough up together from birth, they can be difficult to introudce to other males. Therefore, it might be safest to get 2 females and keep them in the other cage, but next to the male cage so they can communicate with each other.
