Hey!
I've tried every hay rack imaginable. If it's too hard to get at, the rabbits don't eat it. If it's too easy to get at, they make a huge mess of their cage and then pee in it. If I put it in the litterbox, they just crush and pee on it.
A few weeks ago I used a box and cut a hole in the bottom front and put hay in the top - I attached in to the screen with clips. It worked great! The rabbits could get all the hay they wanted but they had to reach in to get it so I guess it was less messy. But eventually, being only cardboard, the box tore off the clips, fell to the ground of the cage, and got peed on. I want to re-do this idea but I don't have that many boxes and no others of that particular size so I was thinking of building something similar out of wood - heavy enough that I can just place it on the floor of the rather than clip it up.
I also just thought I could perhaps use a tall tupperware type of thing that I could clip because it's light.
I guess I'm just looking for ideas in their vein. Pictures, suggestions, etc. Anything would be helpful!
