Hi all,
I've recently introduced Blakey and Bingley into a nice new hutch. It's a double decker and when we move in a couple of weeks we'll be adding a permanent run to it.
However, I can't get them to go downstairs! I've put their litter tray down there and tried putting their favourite treat at the bottom of the ramp but nothing seems to be tempting them down. I've put Blakey downstairs and she can find her way back up, but won't go back down.
Bingley has lost his eyesight completely now, again only recently, and this is his first new hutch after being blind so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it? It's why I keep putting Blakey downstairs as I know she can see to get back upstairs and I was hoping that her scent on the ramp would help guide Bingley around. But she seems to be determined to stay upstairs.
Feeling a bit at an impasse now and wondered if anyone has any advice please?
Thanks
