Ramps homemade ramp cover??

[guineapigmama14]

Does anyone know how to make a fleece ramp cover? any ideas for one?

i would use Velcro on each end of the ramp and along the sides of it and stick the fleece to it. quick and easy

Are you planning to sew them?

I line my ramp with bath rug cut in half lengthwise. I used binder clips to clip the rug to the side of the ramp. Towels will work too.

can bath rugs be laundered? Or do they generally not pee on the ramp?

I use an extra piece of coroplast wrapped in flecce. The coroplast is cut to fit loosely on the floor of the ramp (loosely because I will be wrapping two layers of fabric around it. The final product is snug), and also has a 2-inch flap that attaches to the loft coroplast and tucks under the fleece flipper (although I'm sure it can work this way even if you don't have flippers). I don't have a specific cover, but I use safety pins on the back to secure a layer of uhaul and a layer of fleece. The piece then attaches to the loft, and sits flat in the ramp. Since the ramp itself is coroplast with a grid frame, the pins are completely unaccessible to the pigs, so there is no chance that they will get pricked. Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I will take photos.

They can be laundered. This is the one I use.

This is what I use for my ramp in my cage...

My piggies don't chew this ramp cover... I hope I helped.

I use binder clips to attach a towel or two. I started putting two towels because one of my piggies loves to go up the ramp between them like a tunnel.

Sorry do not have a picture at the moment, but putting together old clothes for GoodWill I came across old fleece pajamas. They were my daughters, size medium or 8-10. Cut off the leg and it was a perfect fit for my ramp! Just cliped it with binder clips and it was ready to go!
