Hutch ramps or alternative. . ?

I'm thinking of getting a large hutch/run combo made and I want the hutch ontop or an "upper " level. Problem is that I want an alternative method to the ramp as I think my german lop will struggle with a ramp and possibly get stuck in the hole :? Does anyone have an alternative?
 
For many of my rabbits I simply remove the ramp and they jump through the hole. It looks like they are levitating :lol: You can start them off by putting a box under the hole to give them a half way point.
 
Alfie and Tuffle have a hutch with a ramp,she usually throws the ramp,so ends up jumping up and down,only Alfie hasnt work that one out,so either gets stuck upstairs or cant get down! :lol:
 
You can have steps rather than a ramp. You could also ask for the hole to be made longer as it meets the ramp so their was less of a squish. My buns have a platform at the top of the ramp below the hole so their isn't an angle to get squished in. It's amazing how the ooze through holes though :)

Another option would be to do the ramp in a couple of angles with a platform between so it was less steep. My ramp runs from the hutch out into the run rather than under the hutch so it's quite long.
