New Hutch! Help!

[braddaz]

I've just bought my two boys a new hutch. A nice two tier outdoor hutch (they live in the garage) much more room for them to run around in than their one tier indoor hutch that they used to live in.
I'm having some problems... I put my boys in and true to putting them away after cleaning them they had a good sniff around and hid for a bit.
To get them used to the ramp I have tried putting a selection of their favourite veggies up the ramp... Ralph (the more adventurous of the two) figured it out straight away and will go up and down (food and water is downstairs) when he feels like it but prefers to be upstairs. Jack on the other hand hasn't quite got there yet (luckily the food and water is downstairs for him) he has figured out how to stand to the side of the ramp to take the veggies off, but seems too anxious to try to go up and down the ramp.
Any suggestions anyone has to help Jack would be brilliant and greatly appreciated. I'm also concerned they are starting to miss each other as Jack won't go upstairs and Ralph is favouring the upstairs and I haven't seen him downstairs for a while.

Is it a ramp with no sides? Guineas don't feel safe using this type of ramp . Guineas are not natural climbers . Many forum members have cages / hutches with ramps and find guinea are happier using a ramp if it has sides or is fitted with a ramp tunnel .

there are some pictures of @Critter 's ramp - and mine in this thread

It doesn't have sides but it does have half decent grip on it. After looking at the photos on the thread I think I need to improve the grip with some nice soft fleece and fully enclose the ramp. Hopefully these tricks will give my boys the confidence they need to scurry up and down happily.

I had to adapt my ramp. My fella attached a wooden side to it and put a piece of carpet on it as the grip wasn't too good
