The Hagen Living World Hay Spinner holds a day's hay off the cage floor, where it stays clean enough to be eaten. That is the whole argument for a hay feeder, and it is a better one than it sounds -- hay scattered on the floor of a hutch gets sat on and urinated on, and then it gets thrown away.
Grass hay should make up the bulk of what a rabbit or guinea pig eats -- the usual figure given is around eighty per cent -- and it should be in front of them all day. It is what keeps the gut moving and what actually wears the back teeth down, since those teeth grow continuously. A pet that fills up on pellets instead ends up with dental disease and a slow gut. Keeping hay off the cage floor in a rack or feeder is worth doing for one plain reason: hay a pet has sat on or urinated on gets wasted rather than eaten.
Living World is the small animal and bird brand of Rolf C. Hagen, the Montreal company founded in 1955. The range covers cages, hay feeders, houses, dishes and supplements for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and cage birds.
