What is a good bar spacing for a hay rack?

A good quality hay rack should be designed so that rodents can put their muzzles between the bars, but not their whole head. The suitable bar spacing depends on the animal species and the size of the animal. In general, the following distances are recommended:

Guinea pigs: about 3 cm
Degus: about 2.5 to 3 cm
Chinchillas: about 2.5 to 3 cm
Dwarf rabbits: about 3 to 3.5 cm
Medium rabbits: up to about 4 cm
Large rabbits: up to about 4.5 cm

It is very important that the animals cannot stick their heads through the bars, otherwise they could become trapped. This is different if the bars are very far apart and the animals can easily move their heads back and forth. If you notice that your rodent's head just fits through the bars and could possibly become trapped, it is advisable to remove the hay rack from the enclosure and choose one with a smaller bar spacing.
