Wooden Hay Rack Alpe

A stable wooden hay rack where you can put fresh hay for your guinea pig or rabbit in every day. The hay rack can be closed from the top. The hay rack is made of untreated natural wood. A big advantage of this hay rack is that it is low to the ground, so that guinea pigs can also reach it. The top of the rack can easily be used as a viewing platform, especially rabbits like it!

✔ Made of plywood Wood
✔ Removable roof for easy refilling
✔ Flat roof provides extra seating space

This hay rack is suitable for use as a basic hay rack.

A suitable rack

Vertical bars: A good hay rack should be made in such a way that the animals can get between the bars with their muzzle part, but this usually only works very well with vertical bars (because most animal noses are not that wide, but they are high / long). However, the animals must not be able to put their head through, otherwise their head can get trapped between the supports. If you see that the head of your animal can pass through the bars, take the rack out of the enclosure and choose a rack with a smaller bar distance .

How wide the bar distance should be depends on the animal species, roughly the following distances are common for the following animal species:

Degus: 2.5 to 3 cm
Chinchillas about 2.5 - 3 cm
Guinea pig: about 3 cm
Dwarf rabbits: about 3 - 3.5 cm
Medium sized rabbits up to about 4 cm
Large Rabbits: up to about 4.5 cm
