I recently added an upstairs to my boys cage and am having trouble with the ramp.
For the next week; I'll have a "make do" ramp that is made out of bent grids but I obviously need to line it with something so that the piggies can actually climb it.
I tried towel and they seem to just slide down it when they try and climb it.
I told my mother and she went out and bought a rubber car mat (You know, the ones you put your feet on when you're in the car.)
I've cut it to size so it doesn't overlap and so it's hard for them to get hold of it and chew it.
I tested it earlier and Ralph had no interest in climbing it (I think it might be too steep, actually.) but he kept trying to eat the mat.
I took it out straight away. I didn't want to risk it, so I thought I'd ask here.
If either of them do, somehow, manage to get hold of it and chew it, since it's rubber, am I right in assuming that it's pretty dangerous?
Would I be better off buying a fabric mat or using some sort of carpeting?
Anything you guys suggest would be great.
I just want this ramp ready so that they can enjoy their new upstairs and even when my new ramp comes (My brother says he'll bring it sometime later in the week, maybe Friday or Saturday.) I'll still still need to line it with something.
Thank you.
I ask way too many questions. Sorry x.x
