The hay rack in my cage is a bent (Lshaped) target grid ziptied to the side of the cage so it sticks out like a shelf that I put the hay on and my boys had been runing underneath it and reaching up to get the hay. When they were small this worked really well.
Lately though I've noticed Patches is now big enough to actually jump up onto the grid and sit up there to eat it. I'm really worried that his little legs could fall through those inch wide openings and he could hurt himself.
Anyone else had this problem? Could he hurt himself?
I'm considering just removing the rack and just throwing loose hay in there but the couple times I've tried that, they just throw it everywhere, pee in it, lay on it and it gets matted down, really messy, and stinky really fast.
