I have 2 pigs (bubble & squeak). Bubble will use the ramp between the two levels of their hutch but squeak won't. People on this forum told me it might incourage her to use it if I add sides to the ramp. Just wonderig what I can use to create the sides?

Btw, I am not able to get correx/coroplast from anywhere so that is not an option. :)
 
Yes i have seen these ramp tunnels. It does say on the website that there is a waiting list so I would imagine it would take a while to arrive but I am probably still going to get one. While I'm waiting I am thinking of making sides to the ramp as a temporary measure thts why I was wondering what to use. Thanks for your help!
 
I've got ramp tunnels on my ramps and they work really well, the piggies love zooming up and down!

Their ramp tunnels start from £7.75 - so quite cheap ;)

The only way i can think of attaching sides is either with wood (I'm no good at DIY so this wouldnt end too well) or as others have suggested correx (which you can buy from teacratepackaging.co.uk for around £11.00 with delivery)

The tunnel idea that i gave you a few days ago is a good one - you can purchase a normal tunnel for a few pounds and get a hold of some iron on velcro and attach it to your ramp very easily ;)

Thanks! I think I might try this actually as it will be quicker than waiting for one from cosy cavies!
 
I use c and c cage grids that I've bent up, this created the ramp and sides, I then have a strip of carpet on it for them to grip onto when climbing
 
Could you use a regular cat tunnel? I bought my one of these from asda for £3. Even if you dont use it forever, it would be a cheap way of finding out if they will use the ramp with a tunnel.
