Does anyone have a good tip about building a ramp or what to use as a ramp? We have alot of grids, coroplast and zip-ties and I think a loft would be a great way for Djingis to get some energy out in the cage. He can zoom that ramp like crazy. Kongo? A little bit of extra exercise wouldnt kill...

Piggies must not walk on wire at all - it wil cause injuries and potentially bumblefoot. Piggies need to walk in solid ground. Also, angle of that ramp - if the picture is how it is in real life - is also not suitable. It is far too steep for a guinea pig to ever use. Normally we would...

So the one in the photo is the style but not the same one and we out plyboard under it and I out a fleece towel over it

Ramps use up a lot of running space. I'm glad to hear a half up the side zip tied platform can be hopped onto (safely 😄) I will try putting one up in the piggy cages 🏡

Ramps should have sides. The ramp in the picture is too narrow and open as well as being far too steep. Grids can be bent to form a ramp. I use vetbed on mine to make them suitable for piggy feet. attached with bull dog clips for easy removal for washing. The ramps are attached to the loft with...

It is better to use a ramp made of correx with sides. The angle should be gradual as piggies are not good at climbing and could get hurt from a fall. You can buy solid ramps on Etsy and Temu. You can also get wooden ones that are long.and slope gradually. Covering the ramp with fleece is good to...

How very dare you @Ramia , referring to the PENTHOUSE as a loft 🤣 @exia , If he's a bouncy boy you can zip tie horizontal grids halfway up, he will be able to jump up and down. My boys did have ramps up to their posing platforms but we took them off because they never got used. Hubby built them...

@fluffysal this is NOT the Boars Galore thread! How very dare you post such blatant exhibitionism on an open forum 😲😳

The lifts are up and both piggies are using the ramps!

I would just use a much more shallow tray that ideally shallow enough so a ramp wouldn’t be needed - the garden tray you’ve seen would probably be fine to use. Or - get a piece of correx which you can add in. Allow an upstand up the sides of the cage but just leave the front completely flat so...

This thread is lawless. Its like the dark web in here! A Borisball or two on display just makes these metacam-junkies go hard on that "like"-button. The slaves are totally innocent. a sleeping Boris is like therapy. How on earth can someone be so chill? Smart with platforms! I think I have...

Truffle likes to persuade me to feed him veggies in his loft, biting the bars to get me to hurry up 😄 This worked so well that he seemed to be avoiding going downstairs to eat hay. The hay trays were too tidy and seemed hardly used. Eventually he seemed to get a bit OCD about coming downstairs...

Hi couldn't find another thread on this. So, I've had g pigs for 2 years they have been absolutely fine. One is recently bereaved due to a bad congenital dental issue. I'm looking to adopt another boar. One rescue centre says that they can't adopt to me because I have a ramp without sides? I...

I'm so glad all went well. It will take the next two weeks for them to fully sort out their hierarchy. As they are coming into their teens you are highly likely to see a lot more mounting, chasing and general dominance. It’s fine and something they need to do through but it important to keep an...

In case it helps here's a pic of the ramps that my piggies use

Here's little old Suzie, tho it's a much better shot of their Palace than anything else. You can see her little nose though. You can also see two ramps and in between a sort of guard rail which Emily jumped over, because it was less effort than using the ramp apparently. Once, the downstairs...

There is this kind of house going along the lines of the links you posted. Only downside is that they are single exit (obviously when the ramp is down!) which is the only reason I don’t use them for my boars. I use these for my rabbits though.

Sadly our last piggy was pts yesterday at 7.5 years of age. I now have a ramp which is too good to bin, (cost me £100 to have it made) would anyone find it useful? You would have to collect from Wirral area.

I use the 9mm file binders, they slide on fairly easily with 4mm corex. One of my rainbow bridge piggies used to pull the binders off, he would stand and stare at me, defying me to stop him and suddenly he would swoop and yank one off! The only thing I can think of to fix the fleece would be...

I imagine @Truffolo is referring to a tube which the guineas go into which Truffolo can pick up with guineas inside to plonk them somewhere, rather than any specific type of tube. I could be wrong of course. Wow, amazing set-up! I wonder if your guineas find the ramps a little steep - they can...
