I honestly think that hoarding is more of a psychological disorder. When it stems from depression, it can lead to disorder and unhealthy living conditions, high ammonia levels from the animal urine, etc. When a family has the time, money, energy, and space for animals, there isn't a number that is considered hoarding, IMO. With our schedule, two is plenty with two kids, but I think I could handle 4 when I retire. (:
