Depending how far they have to drop, I'd agree a box would work just as well if not better. When the weather warms up enough for diy I'm contemplating a couple of steps rather then a ramp.
Mine have boxes - one like you are looking at for jumping onto to get onto the piggies hutch and another which I bought from Tracy (RNGPWelfare) which is longer with holes in for getting in and out of their hutch. Both here modelled by the lovely Hobo who is no longer with us.
I've thought about trying a box instead of a ramp in the buns cage, but I know Lavender will move the box and Charlie will get stuck 'upstairs'!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
ooh I thought it was a good idea till you said that - of course they like moving things, or just the kick from their legs as they jump would move it unless it was really heavy.
Benny pulled his ramp down a couple of times and I was afraid he'd hurt himself if it fell on him, so when I saw him jump up there easily, I took it out - it's only and 18" jump though.
Biggest problem was getting him shut in the top part of his hutch - He learnt to hop up there for his veg but would then get so excited that he'd charge around the hutch with carrot in his mouth, doing his victory lap - and fall straight down the hole before I had chance to put the hatch back in Luckily no broken bones - He did it 3 times :roll: But then got wise and would look where he was going and go round it - might have been me shouting 'be careful!' at him too
