Righty, what I need to know is if it's gonna be worthwhile adding material inside these tubes, whether it be shed/hutch felt, or something else to act as traction, or if the plan of using tubes isn't going to work at all xD

Has anyone else used tubes to act as a ramp? I had no spare coroplast to use as a ramp, and if needs be, I can always find some wood. BUT as I had these spare tubes lying around, I thought I'd try that first~

The tubes look small. What's the diameter? If your pig is a baby, it could work. For full grown pigs, try something that's at least 6" wide.

Hmm.. just measured it there, they're 4.5 inches but saying that, that's the same height as the cabin doors height, I guess I'll have to wait until I get my pig or two to find out. Although I will make an alternative ramp incase the tubes do turn out to be too small ><

The cabins are guinea pig sized, there is a hamster version for that type aswell though, but this is definitely the guinea pig one (reviews on the product suggested that there was plenty of room for 2 piggies) And I have no piggies as of yet! That's why I'm tryna get as much advice as I can for now xD
