Ramps Ramp builders out there?! Grip not gripping!?

[Kimberly713]

Quick question! I just redid the cage's ramp and it's now sturdier and safer.

I covered it with fleece for traction but the girls seem to be slipping slightly. It's 2 grids long and I have the bottom resting on a fiddlesticks thing so its not AS steep. I was using shelf/drawer lining but its being chewed up so I figured use fleece, alot of other people do... Well how do I make it have more traction? So ya, ideas pleassee??

Try towels or bath rug. I think fleece are too slippery.

Edit to add: Same as the rug in this picture: Easy Ramps, #01 - Guinea Pig Cage Photos

Hmmm... good plan! Thanks. I will try and find something at the store this weekend. For now I just elevated it about 3inches so its alot less steep. They are zooming up and down no problem now

We put strips of Velcro staggered up the ramp horizontally and then the fleece on top of that, works great.
