Hanging basket/ hay rack

So, confession time.... My bunnies dont have a hay rack
They have hay of course...but I put it into their litter trays each day.
I was thinking of putting some hanging baskets in their shed and filling with hay...Im going to get some of that hay4pets hay and think its too good to put in a litter tray for them to poop on...

We had ours in a hanging basket. It was the sort that has a flat side that screws to the wall rather than the dangly sort. I think it was about £1.50 from wilkos.

I think they are a brilliant idea for hay, I've seen a few shed's and wendy houses with hanging basket's in full of hay and the half moon baskets ( like a small horse hay rack) always look nice full of hay to

Mine do have hay racks but they just pull all the hay out and stand on it, so I just fill their litter trays every morning and they just eat it all during the day.

I used to put it in litter trays too and didnt use a hay rack, that was when i used farm hay and it was £5 a bale. HFP is lovely hay, but too expensive to waste. They still eat a lot from their hay rack now, but the bigger the better. I find the Wilkinsons wall basket good, along with my C&C one that i made for Marley adn Dolly.

My piggies have a nice sized cheap wall basket that I bought in Asda. And the buns currently have an ikea plastic bag holder which are also cheap. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60128661/

They all pull out the hay but not normally all at once and tbh I just pick up the cleanish stuff on the top of the pile and stuff it back in the rack.

My little Boo has a hay ball but never bothers with it. He does however love the hay in the box.

We had one of the Wilko's half-basket things too. Gizmo pulled out the bits he fancied and ignored the rest. I hid from it

In the past my 2 have told me that it doesn't taste right if they haven't peed/cr*pped on it first.

Princess A says she must have her hay in her carrot shaped ceramic bowl. Hay rack is not acceptable. Hay tube is not acceptable. Hay ball is not acceptable....and etc.

That's how Humum got me eating hay - by presenting it to me in a bowl as food. I eat more now that I have Gizmo too...

Mine have a huge litter tray full in the morning and the next day there is just a little pile left and a huge pile of poo - lovely big fat golden ones.
