Massively overdoing it
We used a brick-width and length for our steps (where they actually step), and it's plenty. One brick up each time.

Ah ok, but our steps need to go up 2 feet, that's a lot of bricks to use to build a steady platformMassively overdoing it

Yes, but they don't need to be so wide/long
These ones go up about 18-20" (the run itself is just under 3' here) and we've used quite a few. It's not very brick-lean! Have you thought about having a look at your local Freecycle, see if anyone's binning a load of bricks? There's usually a couple of posts about bricks and paving slabs etc. on the Nottingham one.Here you go! Took me all day to figure out how to share a pic!

I think I might replace the stool with bricks or blocks as you've suggested, it would be more sturdy

The steps have had to wait, need to order the bricks from B&Q.
Lola hasn't left the hutch in 5 days, so today I popped her in their carry case and moved her downstairs.
I don't know if she stays up there because of the ramp, or if she is just a lazy bunny, but if she doesn't use either the ramp or the steps when built I'm not sure what to do, she can't spend the rest of her life in a 6*2*2 hutch

A lightweight staircase made from screwing cut pieces of decking together from underneath
That is really good
I like the fact that it doesn’t take up floor space like bricks would.

So built the steps this afternoon out of 20 breeze blocks.
We've lost some space in the run below the hutch, but not too much.
Pip took it it right away, and looks a lot more comfortable on the steps that scrabbling up the ramp.
Just need to see what Lola thinks, they're sulking at the moment because I cleaned them out.
