Why choose a filled hay rack?

A filled hay rack makes eating more active. Instead of hay lying loosely in one spot, your animal has to pull, search, and choose. The combination of hay, marigold, and pieces of corn on the cob makes this rack extra interesting to explore.

For guinea pigs and rabbits, good hay remains the basis of their daily diet. This hay rack is therefore primarily intended as extra enrichment alongside unlimited fresh hay. The marigold blossoms and pieces of corn cob make foraging more attractive, while the rack provides an alternative feeding time within the enclosure.

For mice, this filled hay rack is particularly interesting as an enrichment. Mice can climb, search for the small snack pieces, and use the hay as nesting material or as a natural element in the enclosure.

How do you use the Trixie Hay Rack with Hay?

• Place the hay rack stably on a dry spot in the enclosure or run.
• Use the hay rack as an additional foraging moment alongside regular hay.
• Regularly check that no loose or sharp parts develop.
• Replace or remove the hay rack when it is too badly gnawed or is no longer sturdy.
• In addition, always give guinea pigs and rabbits access to suitable fresh hay.

Do not place the hay rack in a wet spot or directly under a water bottle. Hay remains most pleasant when it stays dry and fresh. If the hay rack becomes dirty or damp, remove it from the enclosure.

For which animals is this hay rack suitable?

• Rodents: suitable as a supplementary hay rack and forage product for animals for which hay, marigold, and pieces of corn cob are suitable.
• Mouse: suitable as a foraging and enrichment product. Mice can climb, search for pieces of marigold and corn cob, nibble on the hay, and use hay as nesting or landscaping material.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a supplementary hay rack and snack time alongside unlimited fresh hay. Place the rack in a dry, easily accessible location.
• Rabbit: suitable as a supplementary hay rack and foraging moment. Use this product alongside the daily hay, not as the sole hay source.

This filled hay rack is not suitable for chinchillas and degus due to the pieces of corn cob. For these animals, it is preferable to choose a hay rack or hay snack without corn and with ingredients that better suit their frugal dietary needs.

For hamsters and gerbils, hay can sometimes be used as decoration or nesting material, but we position this specific filled hay rack primarily for mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits.

Hay rack and openings: what to look out for?

With every hay rack, it is important to check that the openings fit your animal. An animal must be able to reach the hay, but its head must not be able to get stuck between the bars. Therefore, always check how your animal uses the rack.

• Make sure that your animal cannot get its entire head stuck between the openings.
• Check the hay rack extra carefully for young, small, or very curious animals.
• Remove the hay rack when you notice your animal trying to squeeze into it.
• Check regularly for loose parts, sharp edges, or damage.

Are you unsure if a hay rack is suitable for your animal? Then it is better to choose a rack with a smaller or differently positioned opening, or use another method to offer hay.
