Hay rack

[bunnynoses]

What kind of hay racks do you use? The ones that I find in the pet stores are so small, I have three bunnies and I am looking for a large one to hold a lot of hay, I put the hay in their litter box but it gets dirty from their dropping and urine fast.

If you have pictures to share that would be great.

Sorry don't have a pic - but I found a freezer top rack - the ones that sit on the top and slide back and forth. I tip it sideways and clip the two sides with one of those wood clamps - close peg type They are really strong and hold the rack easily on the Xpen. The buns we have are large NewZealand Reds - I use it when they were in one outdoor pen and not wanting to put the hay all over the ground to get spoiled or wet.

I have some NIC type grids from dollarama, the fold easily and are cheap. You could zip ties a couple of them together and use that. There are 5 in a pack (either $2.50 or $3), so you could play around with it.

Pretty much any wire basket can be used as a hay rack. A piece of cardboard on the back can help keep the hay more contained.

Thank you, someone told me about the under the counter shelf, but I have been looking for one with no luck, just looking for other ideas. Thanks again

I use something similar to this hay rack, that works well for my rabbits. You could just do the hay manger without the litter grid, if it's not something you want to use with your rabbits.

I got Chester's from Amazon and it had very high ratings. It is a perfect height for my rabbit to eat from and keeps the hay dry. I also put pellets in the bottom section and place the entire container above his litter box in cage. I placed a screen shot of the product on amazon as well as a picture of my rabbit using it. Hope this helps! ATTACH]5869[/ATTACH]

BTW my options may be too small but maybe u can put multiple ones in the cage or do something like this? I do this outside of the cage. Hay and pellets are both in the carrot bowl.

I use old oven racks that are FREE at most appliance stores. (free is a good thing) Just lay a 2x4 across it and bend them in half. After I have it where I (and the bun) want it I cut out the cage wire, file down any sharp edges and firmly attach it to the outside of the hutch.

Thanks for the information, I do have this product but it is too small for three rabbits, I have to fill it all the time, lol, they eat a lot of hay, maybe I should buy three of them, one for each rabbit, that might work, thanks again.

Thanks for the ideas, I will let you know what I use for my buns.
