So, I've finally figured out the final measurements for our future guinea pig cage. The most we have room for is exactly 2x4.5, which should be perfect for a pair of piggies.
Problem is, I'm not sure whether or not we should get a loft. On the one hand, it would make a nice kitchen area, plus I planned on setting up a bunk bed and fleece forest underneath the loft area, which will make a very cosy hide-y space. I'm just wondering if the ramp will end up taking too much floor space?
This is a (poorly drawn) sketch that I made to send to the person who will be making the cage. The ramp will likely extend near the end of the cage (since I don't want it to be too steep), which would take up at least 1/3 or so of the back grids.
Will the piggies (who will likely be a pair of boars) still have enough floor space even with the ramp? Or would it be better to forgo the loft area and just have a plain 2x4.5 cage?
