The point is here that everypig must have room to exercise and hopefully 
when he want to, even though he or a bunch may lay in pile most of the time. 
Sammy likes to run several times a day so I'm upgrading the cage to 48 x 24. 
Floor time counts if there's enough of it but Sammy doesn't get enough. That 
size would permit him a partner. In his present set up which is a foot 
shorter I got the feeling that he and Manny were too crowded.  In the old 
Penny Giggle Farm days I quickly learned that the giant Rubbermaid tubs I 
used were Ok  for 2 but not for 3

In the early years the sows lived in a giant pen made from an oilcloth 
tablecloth on the floor covered with newspaper, bedding and hay and circles 
with Neat Idea Cubes.  This living style  established a complex society that 
was so much fun to watch I called it PiggyVision  Good luck Sandy and Sammy
