Welcome to BYC ! I believe your question has been answered so good luck with the repairs . If they still won't go up try putting some treats up the ramp.

Just give them more options, A longer slope. or add a different angle, maybe even another ramp next to it?

Put some mealworms or little bit of shredded cheese on each of the steps.

Chicken scratch is also a good idea! You can put any of the suggested treats on the ladder and also final destination.

Its steep & narrow.

That looks way too steep for them.

I would say to make it longer and a little bit more down.

I agree with this plan, if you make it longer, then it will be more flat.

Put some mealworms or little bit of shredded cheese on each of the steps.

Motivation!

Welcome to BYC ,
Your ramp is way to steep, your better off using a step blocks takes less space, so they just jump on each block to get up.

Using cinder blocks will work for this purpose, plus it provides traction for them to step on.
