I'm trying to decide between a 48x24x12 or 48x24x18 cage for a male Hog I plan to get in the near future. As you can see the only difference is the height - but being new to Hogs I don't know if he'd make use of the height or would it be 'wasted'? I just don't know how much of a difference the 6 inches will be. Of course it matters space and money wise - but that's not the reason I'm asking. But obiviously if I go with the lower cage I'll be able to stack more cages than if I went with the 18inch high cage. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
