Buying a ramp

[Y2Craig]

So, our pig has been diagnosed with potential osteoarthritis and as much as he seems to enjoy jumping in and out of the cage it's becoming a struggle for him. Does anyone know where I could buy a ramp that would go over the cage base for him to climb in and out in comfort? Any I've seen online have no sides so I can't see him using them!

Thanks in advance

You could make one from guttering and duct tape. And use a strip of carpet for grip.

Thanks, I'm terrible at DIY things but I might end up attempting something!

I guess it kind of depends on your set up. If it is a commercial cage on the floor, then the bendy log sticks can be arched over the plastic base to make a ramp. It wouldn’t have sides, but if it’s not high off the ground, then maybe it would be ok?

It is a commercial one, might try the log sticks, if it doesn't work he still has something to chew on I guess!

When our rabbit was getting older and starting to struggle getting in and out of his hutch we bought a couple of these.
I felt the surface was a bit rough on his feet, so I stuck a strip of fake grass on top (and off cut I got from the garden center), so it was still grippy.
