Hay Rack?

[thistlewriter]

I need some recommendations.

I've been buying hay in bulk for my boys. Unfortunately, they seem to be going through the hay faster than I'd anticipated, primarily because of waste. I use a cat box for a kitchen and fill it with wood pellets, putting hay on top for my boys to snack on/play "bulldozer" in. They love it, but I feel like they're wasting the hay by trampling it down, kicking it out of the box, etc... I'm considering getting a hay rack or something to control the hay so they can't waste as much of it. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for a hay rack, a hay box, or anything of the sort?

If you search through the archives, you will find dozens of posts and suggestions with regard to hay racks.

If you have a C&C cage and have extra grids, you can tie a grid to the side of the cage as a hay rack

Don't tie grids to the side of the cage. Pigs can get in the hay rack, and if startled, can break a leg trying to get out. We've had a few of these over the years.

But you're gonna have a lot of wasted hay. That's just life with guinea pigs.

I cut out an opening from a plastic storage box. I put wood pellets inside on the bottom and top it with hay. I also have pellets on the rest of the kitchen level. (They only rarely are both in the hay box at the same time.)
This photo is just the upper/kitchen level.
