Where can I buy a ramp?

[Tipsy & Lulu]

Hi!

I have read quite a bit about how I can build or craft a ramp out of wood to cover my bunnies wire cage door so that she can come in and out without hurting her feet. We are not at all crafty or good at building. Is there someplace I can buy something to cover the door with?

A blanket is fine but she tends to play with it and eventually pulls it off the door and it’s no longer covered. This would not be a good solution for when I’m not here. We need something that would stay put and she is a very mischievous bunny. She chews everything!

One of our bunnies now has an X pen attached to her cage and she happily comes and goes. The other one we need a better solution for the doorway. The one that comes and goes is using a dog cage so there is no ramp. The other one is in a very large 48 inch rabbit cage that we have only had for three months and I don’t want to let it go to waste. It is a great habitat for her but we can’t figure out how to make it safe for her to come and go.

Any and all ideas are welcome! Thank you!

If you have any woodworkers in your local area, you could probably have them fashion one of untreated pine.
I have seen people weave cardboard strips through the bars tightly to create a more solid surface with good traction. Otherwise, you could zip tie a grass mat, cardboard or wood piece to the door.

Leith Petwerks sell some ramps as well as a door to floor type ramp. 

Could you get wood cut to size at a hardware store and just attach a couple of small  angle brackets at one end?

Or an easier solution might be to prop something under the cage door so it comes out horizontally. Maybe like one of those exercise steps or small plastic step stool. Or some bricks.
