New Born Pup
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the warm welcome onto the forum, you've been great.
I've been a guinea pig owner for the last 9 months, and still treading carefully when it comes to what goes into the piggies' cages.
I have just bought a Ferplast 100 double, which comes with a wooden ramp. However, having read various posts, I am concerned about the fact it doesn't really have sides.
So, I measured up, did a sketch for the ramp and bought some wood from B and Q to make another from scratch. It fits well, and I've bought a bit of carpet tile to cut up and glue down for pig traction.
One thing I'm nervous and unsure about, is the fact I've chosen pine as the ramp material- how safe is this? I know that pine shavings are bad, however what about them nibbling larger bits of pine? Is my new ramp for the bin already?
Any help and advice gratefully received!
