Just take two grids and bend them. There is a tutorial in the photo gallery.

The second level is going to be a 2x2.

Slap I think a 2x3 with a 2x2 upper level bending grids there wont be enough room. I think the box or come back ramps are good.

I warn you that even I with long arms cannot reach all the way into the back of a 2x2 upper level. I suggest you make something you can reach into.

Yep they do for most people and a 3x1 is a good idea.

We bought a 5-inch plastic rain gutter at Lowe's that is working really well as a ramp. We attached it with ties and the piggies love it!! It's U-shaped so they can see what is going on. We added some non-slip strips to the inside, so their feet don't slip. I couldn't find the black drainage tubing at Lowe's.

Some of the piggy ramps scare me shouldnt there be a wall on the sides so they dont fall off? For example the ones that are multi colored steps?
