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...

You can get something simple and cheap like a strip of plywood from a DIY store. That should do the trick. Yes - a piggy will get under there. I speak from bitter experience!

Welcome to the forum I have used the second company - candcguineapigcages - and can highly recommend them. The ramp was fine for them The grids that they come with are the recommended ones. If you go diy then that is absolutely fine but it’s actually not about what they are coated with...

I just created a new Section with a loft area and water bowl on the bottom and ramp. so it's fairly new JP will only uses it if I put hay of treats but never willingly like goes up to the loft or below. any ideas what I can do to get him to use it more to lay down there? I know it's hard but...

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...

I really don’t want this to come across as negative - you are a wonderful owner and you are doing a great job, we all just want to help you - but from the rescue approving the accommodation point of view, I can see several issues with this. Unfortunately, I would steer anyone away from that...

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...

Hi. We're thinking of getting some guinea pigs. Before I move on to choosing the animals, I want to make sure we have a home ready to go. We are looking to get 2 or 3. I've seen this wooden option: Wooden Handmade Indoor Large Guinea Pig Cage and I've seen C&C cages like this 5x2 C&C Guinea...

Welcome to the forum Two Midwest cages together for two boars meets more than the recommended cage size for two boars. Boars are more territorial and require a larger cage then two sows. They also need to have multiple hides and each hide needs two exits (don’t use any single exit hides as...

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...

We wanted to build a landscape/palace, but we didn't have enough space with two pairs of boars. The stacked c&c was a great solution for us! We still use it, we changed the coroplast and added a loft for Ben and Harry, so it was really worth every penny. It has had many sizes and shapes through...

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

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

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...

My cage houses 3 guinea pigs at the moment (used to be 4) and measures around 4,6 square metres (length 288 cm, width varies from 115 cm to 220 cm, height from floor to top of the plexiglass is 60cm). I designed and built the cage myself after having my piggies for a few years and figuring out...

Hi A pin prick in the eye is a sign of very small perforation of the cornea, which should heal with normal medication. I would consider getting extra carbomer based eye gel. It is not a medication but it can contribute towards keeping the eye hydrated and more comfortable. The gel is easier to...

Wow this is amazing!
