Silkies in a Go Up

1 reply

We are moving our four silkies into our Go Up tomorrow, two are non-bearded and really good at hopping and jumping, so I think they will get themselves up the ladder and into the house bit. But the bearded ones, god bless their sweet souls, are incredibly dense. We are hoping they see the other two and try to copy them.

Has anyone else had silkies in a Go Up or a Cube? Did they work it out eventually?!

We had to put a ramp/plank up for two of our silkies- but they were both elderly when we changed their setup- and really not the brightest anyway! We had bantams who hopped up no problem but the silkies never took any notice of them. They just slept on the floor outside until we put the ramp up (from their old house!). We left the ramp up until the old girls passed on. I'm sure in their younger days I think our girls would have managed the hop up.
