hi

I have a lovely double hutch for my 5 girls but they refuse to go up the ramp to the top level, i have tried putting their food up there, i put thei pigloos up there but they still wont venture up.
I bought the hutch because i wanted them to have plenty room and as 3 of them are babies as they grow there wont be enough room on one level. any ideas how to persuade them up.
 
Has your ramp got sides? My ramps all have sides to prevent them falling over the edge, your piggies may not feel safe if it's open. The tunnel idea is very good. :)
 
oh i had this problem with 5 pigs in my new primrose cottage. I put a cardbord tube at the top with a towel going through it all the way down the ramp. then i put some fresh grass at the bottom eventually one of the youngsters went down. It took a couple of days until they were all happy to go up and down. You should see them now they are so funny. I tend to put veggies and grass on the level where the least piggies are then watch them fly down. By the way I stopped using the tunnel once they were all ok with ramp I still use a towel but it only goes half way down the ramp they are not bothered though. Top tip patience and be prepared to pick some grass!
