Mary- We went through the same thing at first, in the early
days of the Okie Piggies. Those fancy C&C cages were just
too much to pass up, soon the OP's had condo's of their
own. But the upstairs went unvisited for quite a while. I finally
realized it just took time and patience. Eventually they each
had their own favorite spot to hang out, but would dash up
and down at times. To encourage this, I would put treats on
each level (they had several ramps, with landings in between,
so they could take a break - sometimes one of these was a
favorite hangout!). Occasionally I would simply place Snowy
or CocoPuff on a different level. Eventually they got the idea,
and loved it. Then later, with other pigs, all they needed was
to see a ramp, or another level, in front of them, and away
they'd go. I think some are more adventurous than others.
(or, maybe some are 'less energetic' ;-)
Give it some time, Teddy will get the idea. Maybe he
needs a friend to encourage him! Does he have anything
else in the cage to climb on? Some like to climb up on top
of their Pigloos, those little tunnels made of sticks are good
to hop up on. Maybe he just needs to get in the habit of climbing.
Let us know how it goes.

~Fozzie Bear has offered to come show Teddy how
it's done - he's a 'Teddy' also, and is very athletic
