Wheekly Tales from the Timothy Bin Vol 8
That looks great, Momo!
One suggestion(not that you asked). I would be tempted to cut that loft choroplast lower to match the ramp height and width. I had to do that with my girls because hopping over at the top of the ramp was too scary for them. I also drape a piece of fleece from inside the loft and then partially onto the ramp for a very easy transition.

My way of getting pigs up things was usually to take a veggie such as a carrot. Drag it up the ramp so it leaves a scent trail. Maybe do this twice. Leave carrot up top and let pig discover sent trail.
The alternative is hold carrot about 4 inches away from pigs mouth. Keep on moving it back as they go for it. Usually they don't realize they're going up a ramp. Veggies trump all.
I trained piggies to go up stairs by doing this. (Also female piggies on the upper steps worked to, but I think little Bernie is pretty acclimated to Ms. Emma.)

Here's what I mean about the transition between the ramp and the loft:
My girls are chickens. After Diamond died, I downsized and made a smaller loft and ramp. It didn't work. No one wanted to go up it. It was too narrow and steep. Your ramp looks perfect. Wide and gradual. Only thing is the hop over the top.
