Do piggies appreciate these? I have a 2x5 c&c cage for my two new baby boars. They are sooooooo active and race around the whole enclosure. I’m just wondering if they would appreciate a 2x2 loft area? Is going up to a loft something they actually like doing?
 
Some do, some don’t!
Piggies aren’t natural climbers so some will use them and others won’t.
All you can do is try and see

Sometimes a ramp can become a problem or territory issue. If one piggy claims it as his own he can refuse to let the other use it.

Oh piggies! Such silly billies! All these pig dynamics to consider! Thanks for advice ! I guess doesn’t hurt to try it!
 
Mine had a palace with penthouse, with no territory issues. They do need to learn to use a ramp. In my experience once Sir George learned he taught Master Boris and his former companion. I personally would go the two ramp option as you will have stroppy teenagers for a while.
Just to make you aware, mine enjoyed going halfway down the ramp and jumping off!
 
Simple way I taught mine was to put them in the hutch / loft and put the food at the bottom of the ramp .. going down is always scariest .. mine used to wheek going down at first but they love racing up it ☺️
