Hi I have 4 female piggies who are currently in a 2x6 C&C. Previously I had a 2.5x2 basement as part of their cage but I removed it and tried to redo the cage with the quick detach connectors from the cages stores for an easy to clean loft. The basement was serving as a kitchen area and I would like the loft to do the same. Yesterday though when I tried assembling the loft I found out the detach connectors are too big for my grids. My grids are the white whitmor brand ones that I originally purchased on amazon. I will try again to assemble the loft with some zip ties wrapped around the connectors to hopefully keep them from falling off. If that goes well my questions would be:
1. If I should do a 2x2 loft on the end like you usually see or I thought I could maybe I could put it in the middle and have a ramp on each side so they can run laps through it and I can spot clean a little easier from either side of the middle loft if I don't want to take the whole thing off.
2. Any good diy ramp construction ideas? When I had the basement before I noticed my pigs don't like to take turns on the ramp so they would sometimes push past each other so I made it wider about 6 ish inches. I just don't want there to be a gap in between the grid an the ramp because I'm worried of possible jumping or a foot getting caught.
I tried looking for ideas on the photos tab but they were mostly 1x2 lofts or offset which I don't have room for. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated as well as cage photos
