| Re: Ramps????
Having a guard or rails on the ramp depends on different factors. It depends on what the ramp is made of, the steepness of it and how your pigs react to it.
When I had upper levels, I used ramps made from pvc pipe cut in half lengthwise. The sides came up a little on each side since it was half a circle. I also made them where they were not steep at all.
If you are making a ramp out of something like a plank of wood then it definately needs at least one side rail if it's attached to the side of the cage. If you are making a bent grid ramp then put the bend towards the inside and attach the flat portion to the outside of the cage. If you are making a ramp that will not attach or lean against the outside grids of the cage, then you'd need one with rails/guards on both sides unless you were using something like the pvc pipe idea. |
