We upgraded to a 2x6 c&c cage when we got our third pig and decided to add a loft shortly after that. None of them will use the loft. I don't think they have an aversion to lofts since our older two used the one in the old cage frequently. I've tried putting food and toys up there and tried luring them up the ramp with treats. If I put them in it after lap time they just poke around for a minute or so and then head back down. Anyone have ideas on how I can get them to use it or should I just throw in the towel?

Can you post a pic of your ramp? If it's too steep, or don't have sides, some pigs won't use it.

Sorry, I have no way to post a pic since my phone broke! >.<

I am going to try to lower the loft or find a new ramp that is longer and see if that helps. I hadn't really thought of the ramp as the problem, maybe because the old one was just a steep but not as long. If it works and they start using it I will probably upgrade to a 2x2 for them!
