Wire Rabbit Hay Rack

Hay that sits on the floor gets soiled, trampled and wasted. This white powder-coated wire rack holds it up on the side of the enclosure, so your rabbit or guinea pig can pull a mouthful at a time while the rest stays clean. It's made for the animals that eat hay and greens every day, from rabbits and guinea pigs to chinchillas, hamsters and ferrets.

The rack attaches to most wire animal houses without tools, so it goes up quickly and comes off easily when you clean. The built-in holder takes a mineral or salt spool, which keeps the spool in the enclosure instead of on the floor.

Why hang the hay

Small animals that eat hay all day pull at it and drop as much as they eat. On the floor, hay picks up droppings and bedding, turns damp and gets tossed out with the litter. A rack on the wire keeps the hay where the animal can reach it and away from the mess.

Hay makes up the bulk of a rabbit's diet, so a steady supply matters every day. A rack gives you one spot to refill from the sack, and the animal learns where to go for its hay. Greens fit the rack too.

Who it suits: rabbit owners with a hutch or a wire cage, guinea pig and chinchilla keepers, and small-animal families who want a tidy enclosure.

How to use it

Hang the rack on the wire wall of the enclosure, then fill it with fresh hay.

1. Attach it without tools, and check that it sits firm before you add hay.
2. Put a mineral or salt spool in the built-in holder if your small animal uses one.
3. Refill with fresh hay daily, and pull out any damp or soiled hay.

Good to know

• Empty and wipe the rack whenever you clean the enclosure, so old hay doesn't get soggy.
• Pair it with a bottle waterer that hangs on the same wire wall, so hay and water sit side by side.
• Check the walls before you buy. This rack is made for most wire animal houses, and a solid-sided cage won't take it.
