Hayrows for Chinchillas

Easily buy your hay rack for your chinchillas at DRD Knaagdierwinkel®. For a hay rack for your Chinchillas you have come to the right place in our Chinchilla webshop. Hay is a very important part of the diet for chinchillas. The hay is best offered in a hay rack. This way it stays together well and the animals cannot pee over it.

A good hay rack must be made in such a way that the animals can reach between the bars with their muzzle, but this usually only works particularly well with vertical bars (because most animal noses are not that wide, but high/long). However, the animals must not be able to stick their heads through, otherwise their heads could become trapped between the supports. If you see that your animal's head can fit through the bars, take the rack out of the enclosure and choose a rack with a smaller bar spacing. For chinchillas, a distance between the bars of roughly 2.5-3 cm is recommended. For young animals, a smaller bar spacing should of course be chosen.

Wooden hay racks are very beautiful and have a natural appearance. However, it can happen that the chinchillas also nibble on the hay in addition to the hay. A metal, or especially an aluminum, hay rack lasts a lot longer. There are many different types of hay racks available. Each hay rack can be used in its own unique way. For example, one hay rack can be hung and the other can be put down. It is also a nice idea to give the animals a permanent hay rack, so one that is attached to the bars or the wall and another to hang for extra challenge and exercise.
