Would a guinea pig or hedgehog be able to climb up the ramp or is it too steep?

Yes no problem! You can also stick on a non slip piece of artificial turf type material. Those little guys can climb anything

It's a bit steep, my bunny makes the jump instead of climbing. You might be able to put something on the ramp (which does have little steps) so it's grippier. Or maybe put something low next to the ramp to give a boost. But the ramp on it's own might be a bit daunting.

Our guinea pig does not have a problem with it. He can climb it just fine, so it shouldn't be a problem. Hope that helps.

It's more like steps than a ramp. So to answer that, it would be dependent on whether or not the animal can jump or use the steps. Does that answer your question?

I've been doing extensive research on guinea pigs and I've read that they need a large cage especially for exercise purposes. I'm planning on getting two guinea pigs. Is this cage big enough? Will they feel cramped?
1008497
It is steep, it's more for for support for the platform. We have a medium sized bunny and she always jumps up on the platform. I am unaware of a hedgehog or guinea pigs capabilities though. If they jump with ease, it may not be an issue. Also if you open the door to let it out, the door is set pretty high up (the only real downfall of this cage imo).

totally a guinea pig because it doesn't matter if the balcony doesn't have a ramp my guinea pig can jump, but hedgehogs can't... especially when she is scared. And it also has those small steps that the guinea pig can put his/her foot on it to give the guinea a boost!

It's not a "ramp". No incline to it whatsoever. It has tiny little stairs (more like a ladder) but it's smooth plastic so I don't think any animal with nails would be able to get any traction to help make the climb. Our vet's guineas hop up but they are quite large. Our 4, 3, 2 month old guineas could not make it. The oldest can make the jump on a shelf an inch and a half lower but the next oldest almost fell backwards trying. This would be the perfect cage if not for that supporting wall--if it had an actual true "ramp." Something you could lift up and clean behind. Something they could walk up without weird acrobatics or great effort. Sadly, I'm returning it. It's not a "ramp". No incline to it whatsoever.

It's not very steep at all. I don't know much about the range of motion of either animal, or the traction capabilities. But the height of the shelf is not very high and the ramp is not very large. There are some gradual "steps" built into it too. We used the cage for a medium sized bunny and he did not need a ramp at all.

I got these for my guinea pigs and they both can fit in one curled up together.I think it may be a little too bigFor a hedgehog but not terribly. When I got these my pigs where baby's so they where really big for them so I just had the beds in their little houses till they grew into them a little moreTo just have out in their cage.

The wire floor is completely removable, but then the ramp would be practically useless since it is designed to sit on the floor. The pan is quite deep though, and your guinea pig might not be able to see out.

I think so. The first step is only 6 inches from the ground, and each step is 6 inches apart. I'm sure he would be able to make it up without any problems. You could always set it up as a ramp, however the stope is a little steep. My dogs prefer to use it as stairs.

They probably can. My ratties just jumped and climbed out of it. If it was higher, they probably wouldn't have gotten out. I even duct-taped the two holes shut and they still got out. XD Little trouble makers. Since guinea pigs are bigger, they might like it. I've never had a guinea pig, though.

This is great for them. I'm using it for 2 guineas about 2-3 months old and they love going up and down the ramp. I just use a towel on the rough ramp.

The ramp is strong enough to hold the dog but I am not sure he will be able to climb up the ramp with bad hips. Our dog ( Welsh Corgi) is old and has arthritis in her hips plus bad eye sight and she would go down the ramp but refused to go up the ramp. Maybe because your dog is bigger it might be easier for the size of your dog. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer but it did not work for our dog. The ramp is strong and has a good covering for non slip climbing. The product is solid but again I can't tell if it would work for your dog.

I use the ramp to load my wife's power chair into my Ford F250 pickup. So i know it would hold up any dog. The ramp is 8 foot long and 30 inches wide. I don't think it would be to steep for the dog to go up. You could measure 8 foot from the top of your deck out and down to see how much the incline would be. Also ask you vet. I hope this helps. I hope your dog does well with the surgery.

Don't know for sure, but the ramp is steep, but has good traction-It's like a roofing material that has ridges molded onto it. Size is better for small animals like that. You can close off the ramp if it doesn't work out.

They have a toggle on the end to secure it but it may not work so well in a home unless there is something to anchor it to. We have a bulldog but a dachshund might be much lighter and able to climb. The ramp itself is quite nice and the best price I have found anywhere for this type of ramp. It's a bit heavy at 10 pounds. Hope this helps.

Yes I think so , the openings are approx 2 inches of the ground for the balls not to roll out. If you think your guinea pig can lift his paws high enough to get in I think he/she would enjoy it. We use it for our ferrets , they like it alright...Hope this helps!

Not sure what kind of requirements a hedgehog needs but I'm sure this would probably work. If they climb, the plastic bottom sides are probably high enough the hedgehog could not get up to the wire top. If this is the same 48X24 cage I got, make sure you have plenty of room for it.

No. It only sits maybe a foot off the ground. If they can't jump that high yet you could always build a short ramp for then to walk up.

I wish I had a good answer but I haven't been able to get my Morkie and Yorkie to use the ramp. (My fault for not taking time to train teach them how!) It does have a low pile carpet surface and I don't think it will be slippery.

It is tall enough for a mouse or hamster. My guinea pig used it until she was 4 months old and then she could undo the sides and get out. My baby rabbit was able to jump it the second time I put him in it. I don't know alot about hedgehogs, but I would think that one could not use it for very long after the baby stage.

I use mine for a hedgehog and she has a small amount of room to move around. If you are only transporting it will be snug but will hold an adult guinea pig .

about 6" and 21" and yes, no animal could climb it if a squirrel cannot, and a squirrel cannot! I have seen that at my pole. They have given up! But be sure to position it away from leaping platforms. The instructions will advise you.
