Garland Box Mountain Meadow Hay & Marigold 230 grams

JR Farm Garland Box with Mountain Meadow Hay & Marigold – to stand or hang

The JR Farm Hay Swing Box with Mountain Meadow Hay & Marigold is a grain-free hay swing in a plant-based fiber box. The box is filled with fragrant mountain meadow hay and marigold blossoms, ensuring your animal receives not only hay but also a fun way to engage with it.

For small rodents, you use this box primarily as a hiding, play, and nesting area on the floor of the enclosure. They can crawl through the hay, nibble on it, take pieces to the nest, and destroy or modify the box itself. For herbivores such as guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, it is actually a fun and challenging way to offer hay. You can place the box on the floor or hang it up and let your animals pull, nibble, and forage on their own.

Why choose the JR Farm Crank Box?

✔ Offer hay in a more fun and active way
✔ Filled with mountain meadow hay and marigold blossoms
✔ Plant fiber box to gnaw on and destroy
✔ Also fun for small rodents as a hiding place and source of nesting material
✔ A challenging haymaking and foraging activity for herbivores

At DRD, when it comes to hay and foraging products, we focus primarily on what the animal can do with them. This swing box is not just a portion of hay, but also an activity. Your animal has to pull, search, nibble, or work through the hay to get to it. As a result, the hay serves a greater function in the enclosure than when it lies loose in one place.

The box itself also adds value. The material is made of plant fibers and can be gnawed on, destroyed, and examined. This makes this hay garland interesting for animals that enjoy playing with natural materials, but also for owners who would like to furnish the enclosure in a more varied and functional way.

For small rodents: hiding place, nesting material and landscaping

For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, this Swinging Box is especially fun to place on the bottom of the enclosure. Small rodents often do not use hay as their main food source, but rather as natural nesting material, landscaping material, and plaything material.

You can place the box in a hamsterscaping or gerbilscaping corner, for example near a tunnel route, digging zone, or hiding place. The hay can be taken to the nest, incorporated into the bedding, or used to add more structure to routes and tunnels. The box itself provides extra destruction and gnawing fun.

For herbivores: offer hay with more challenge

For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, the JR Farm Swing Box is a fun way to make hay more interesting. Instead of just loose hay in a rack or in a pile, your animals get a box to pull, nibble, and forage on.

You can place the box in a dry spot or hang it at a safe height. Hanging it makes it more active, as the animals have to pull and work harder to reach the hay. Placing it is more practical when your animals prefer to eat on the ground or when you want to quietly observe how they interact with it.

For which animals is the JR Farm Garland Box suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a hay, hiding, and nesting material site. Mice can crawl through the hay, carry pieces away, and explore the box.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as natural enrichment in a hamsterscaping enclosure. Place the box on the bottom, for example near a tunnel route or digging zone.
• Hamster: suitable as a scavenger hunt, nesting material, and gnawing spot. Hamsters can carry hay, sniff through the box, and work the material.
• Gerbil: suitable as hay and shredding material. Gerbils can inspect the box, gnaw on it, pull out hay, and incorporate the material into their enclosure.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a challenging way to offer hay. Place the box in a dry spot so that guinea pigs can pull on it and nibble quietly.
• Rabbit: suitable as a hay and foraging box. Rabbits can use the box standing or hanging to pull out hay and gnaw on the material.
• Chinchilla: suitable as a dry hay and snack variety. Offer the box in a dry place and check regularly to ensure the hay remains fresh.
• Degu: suitable as a hay and foraging activity. Degus can pull, nibble, and use the box as an extra activity alongside hay, herbs, and appropriate food.

We do not recommend this hay spinner as a suitable option for dwarf rats and rats. Rats do not have a clear function for hay in their daily care, and fine or dry hay can be unpleasant for their sensitive airways due to dust and loose particles. For rats, it is preferable to choose Ratscaping with low-dust bedding, tunnels, foraging material, hammocks, and safe gnawing materials.

How do you use the JR Farm Crank Box?

You can offer the Slinger Box in two ways: placed on a surface or hung up. Placing it on a surface is convenient for small rodents, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. Place the box on a dry, stable spot in the enclosure so that the hay remains clean and fresh.

Hanging can be especially fun for rabbits and other animals that can safely reach the box without having to jump or climb. Use the paper tape to secure the box firmly. Always check that the box is hanging safely and that your animal can easily access it.

You can open the pre-punched openings as desired, so you decide how easily your animal can access the hay. Then let your animal pull, nibble, and search. Remove any leftovers when they are wet, dirty, or no longer fresh.

For small rodents, hay is particularly interesting as nesting material, landscaping material, and occupational material. For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, however, it aligns better with their natural need for hay, fiber, and foraging.
