Ramp Tunnels

Fab ramp tunnel! Let us know how your piggies like it, although I'm sure it will be a hit. Piggies just love tunnels.
 
My boys found their ramp too steep so I have a small house underneath to raise it they jump on the roof and then up the ramp
 
I've put the ramp in with the new tunnel and they LOVE it :yahoo:
They've been up and down it so many times I've lost count! It's also opened up a new area for them cos they haven't had access to upstairs since Frisbee came to live with us. It's now a chill-out zone, with lots of snuggly fleece to lie around on and a huge pile of hay to jump around in. Downstairs has a hidey each and all their food and hay rack.
This is a rare photo with both of them in...Frisbee is the little black shape on the right!

That's really cute! How do you keep the ends open?

First of all I thought I'd try cutting long strips of plastic from an empty 2L lemonade bottle, but once I'd cut it down they were too flimsy. I ended up cutting strips from the back cover of a plastic folder which I use to keep my car documents in! I figured it didn't really need a back cover and it worked perfectly.

And you just sewed them into the tunnel edges?.... I'm definitely going to have to try this!

It took me ages to work out (I'm not a natural at this!), but I worked out the total size that I'd need and doubled it so it's folded over and the 3 plastic strips (about the width of a ruler, one at each end and one in the middle) are sewn into it between the two layers. Fixed it to the ramp with velcro at each end. So far, so good... You'll have to post your version if you make one - would love to see it!
 
It won't be an actual ramp tunnel but a tunnel for my boys to play in... I have plenty of fleece so maybe in a day or two if I can get ahold of some plastic I'll give it a go!
