New set up - bridge suggestions

[chez33]

Hi Everyone

We're just in the process of setting up - no piggies yet, waiting on fleeces and other bits.
We have a Ferplast 160 with a C&C attached - see pics. Now I need a bridge/ladder of sorts for them to get from the cage to the run? I bought a willow bridge but it's HUGE, anyone have any other suggestions?

Wanted to make the C&C bigger but there's a bed in the way, it's the spare room and my other half is also working in there so there's a desk too! they space they have is way bigger than it looks in the pics.

That’s a fantastic set up, lots of lovely space for them!

These bendy wooden arches are great to be made into bridges. They come in different sizes (hamster sized right up to rabbit sized). I’d maybe throw a small fleece pad over them to ensure nobody gets toes trapped in the gaps, but they work well to arch over the edge of the ferplast into the c&c

Can you recommend the best size? I bought one and it was enormous!

i can’t because I don’t have a ferplast cage so I don’t know how big the gap on the door is. If you measure the gap and then you will be able to find the right sized wooden arch. I’ve seen several different sized ones on amazon

your set up is great!
Funnily enough we have been re-designing our two Ferplast Plaza cages to fit together so when my Ted comes home from lodging near the vets while lockdown and marries his two wifelets they will have lots of room. I got a little double ended ramp off Amazon. My OH took about 1cm off the bottom of both ends of it so the height was slightly lower.

I use the medium size bendy arches as a bridge

I saw these on Amazon but was put off by the reviews! So it's ok then?

Yes it’s a very sturdy little bridge and well made, our two new girlies where up and over in about 5 minutes of putting it in, they’ve never used a bridge before!
