Tips to help little friend conquer the ramp
- Roll out the red carpet. Or any colour really, an off-cut of carpet cut to fit the length of the run is the number one way to guarantee an upwardly mobile pet. Short of a Stanner Satir lift this one every time.
- Think outside the box. Keep some of the cardboard from the packaging and cut to the size of the ramp. With a pen or pair of closed scissors run them down the flutes of the cardboard creating hundreds little grippy steps.
- Make Hay While the Sun Shines. Extra bedding or Hay is always a welcome sight in a hutch. We've had a number of customers say that excess hay used on the ramp for a short time gives enough grip until their pets get the hang of things.
