Hearty Hay Buffet

We've tried many hay bins and bags and this is finally one that works. It holds A LOT of hay, greatly reducing the number of refills/day and also making the refill process vastly easier since you don't have to break the hay up with your hands first to stuff it in a receptacle that's too small. Pigs seem happy with it too.

I absolutely love this hay buffet. I have tried about every option out there. Feeder bags, wooden racks, custom grid racks. All before this one caused a huge mess to clean up on a daily basis. The solid back and sides are the perfect solution. Openings are good size and just right for my two, not so small guineas. I paired this with the cavy cafe, which keeps mess to a minimum and off the fleece bedding. Also shipping was surprisingly fast. Thank you for another great product.

I love this bin! It’s so easy to fill and holds a lot! My younger piggies are able to hop inside.

I love how this looks. I am very concerned about SHARP edges though. I tried to cover them with Washi tape but it won't stick. I haven't removed it from the cage yet, but am thinking about it. I am afraid it may cause injuries. Especially since I cute my own finger on one of the edges putting it together. Would probably not buy again.

From GUINEAPIGCAGESSTORE: So sorry ~ Do you meant the points on the hearts? Very easy to just take a small pair of scissors and clip off the point just slightly. You can also use sandpaper or an emery board to smooth it further. Let us know how that works. :)

We set this up last night and my three babies went crazy for it - the two littlest ones wriggled into it through the holes, and the biggest one leaped straight up into it and settled herself in like it was her own personal hay bed! (I had no idea she could jump like that - good to know...) I worried that they could get themselves wedged in there and not be able to get out, so we slid a piece of cardboard in to reduce the size of the holes for now, and covered the top with another piece of cardboard to keep the jumper out. (She was very surprised when she tried it again.) That seems to be working, and as they settle down and learn how to use it I think it will work out well.

This is a really lovely product. My daughter picked it for her piggies and loves filling it. The mom and dad jump into it and the babies climb in and out the heart holes.

P.S. The girls seem to pee and poop inside it a lot, but the boys do not. Aside from cleaning, any tips? We might try out the small wire one for the girls once you get the mezzanine in stock. Thanks!
