Hi-
Today I put a shelf in my pig's cage to climb up on. She won't really go up there though. I tried placing her on top with a carrot to show her that it was meant for her to climb up on but she just kind of went back down. How can I get her to climb up?:confused: Please help and thank you!

For my girls I put their hay, food, and veggies up there with a trail of veggies going up the ramp. They got the hint and I put te hay and veggies back down but their food is still up their. Also make sure there isn't a large incline.

I put their food up there then one by one helped them up. I put them at the base of the ramp, and put my hand behind them so the only way is up, then did the same thing for going down. Do that a few times and they get the hang of it.

I put their food up there, with a trail of hay and veggies. I did this every day for a couple of days. They kind of just figured it out one day. Once they did, I kept their food only up there and now they run up and down it all the time.
