We got Ziggy a dog crate that was big enough to add a shelf to last week or so. Finally got the shelf and ramp done last night and in the cage after figuring out the right placement of everything. The ramp has no skid tape stuff and baseboard wood on it for traction so Ziggy can climb up and down it. The baseboard pieces are used as almost steps in even spaces then between those the non skid tape stuff giving even more traction. The ramp is hinged to the shelf so it wont fall while he's on it too.
We got him up on the shelf last night to show him its there but he's acting scared of the ramp and jumps down off the shelf landing almost outta his cage every time. I used rasins to coax him up the ramp and put his greens up on the shelf too and he will sit there and stare at it all with this look of "I don't think so" lol. The greens this morning got him to jump up the ramp and eat though finally. Is there anything else I can do to coax him to use the ramp? Right now he ate his greens and is now sitting on the shelf sleeping.
