second level ramp

Hi everyone!

I am building a second level on my cage and I have a question regaring ramps. how steep can they be becasue I read that piggies don't climb very well. Also looking at the secon level in place 14 inches seems so high.

plus any suggestions on what to use for a ramp woulf be much appreciated. Someone on anther site told about a ferret ramo but the two pets stores I've called didn't have them.

P.S if you read this Calypso you rock!

thanks

Re: second level ramp

Hi, Cavygurl.

My piggy used to jump from one level to another in his four leveled cage. No ramps at all - originally, there were two ramps that he just ignored, so I removed them. I started with two levels, and as he liked them, later I installed a third one.

The three shelves were at 8 inches, 6 inches, and 7 inches above each other - the top floor was at 21 inches above the "ground" level. There was a hidey hole about 4 inches high on the ground level to help him get started to the first floor. It just added to the fun of going up and down the different levels, as he would jump straight up (or down) to the 8 inches high shelf whenever he was in a hurry.

He loved to stay at the top floor and he slept there. As the cage was located on a 35 inches high cabinet, he was almost at eye level for an adult to pet him.

I believe your cavy will have fun with the new second level on his cage.

Thanks for writing back. I had given up hope that someone would right back. I think they will enjoy the second level too.
Your piigy sounds like a circus star!
