I am trying to make a hay rack which will attach to a piece of wire (similar to the grids you use to make a C&C cage), this "wire" is 1cm cube squared sheet of this flexible material (not sure what to call it thus why I called it wire), which is attach to the door of my home-made cage.
At the moment I pile their hay up in a corner of their cage, it isn't working and I have to change the hay everyday as it gets soiled. So I thought that by having hay in a hay rack, will not only keep the hay tidy and together but will also mean that I can save some money by not replacing the hay each day. I will get measurements as soon as I can find a ruler (can never find anything in this house!). Basically I can not use grids, so it has to be made out of some alternative material.
My questions are; what would you recommend I use to make a hay rack from alternative materials? Also, if this alternative material includes preparing it before putting it to use, can you include instructions on how to prepare it? Finally, how do I attach the hay rack?
All advice is welcome and people who have made a hay rack out of alternative materials, can you please post pictures as well so that I can get some sort of idea?
