Space Chick Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 The cube ladder can be quite a challenge for ex batts when they first come out, as they are not as strong at they should be You will probably need to put an additional "step" at the bottom Well done on your cube and your rescue you wont regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that make it easier for them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillM Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 from what I have seen a solid ramp would be a great idea for them. Good luck with your new girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
