@@StaceyHelmick55 yes I have to check that out. I’ve seen them on the forums but haven’t come across them myself. I don’t often frequent the dollar store, so I’ll have to make a trip and see. Thanks!
I find you give a well-balanced and thoughtful presentation. I appreciate the education based on your experience. I “steered away” from the hay for selfish reasons - pricey at TSC and dang messy! When I first saw your Dollar Tree hay feeders I zipped right over and got a few!🤣 Happily, I also found gorgeous Timothy hay from a local feed store and it will take us months to finish that bale (that’s stored in the back seat of my Honda, ugh, I’m a country girl now,👍🏻). I also find that hay gives the bunnies something to do🤷🏻♀. Sooo…there is such a thing as TOO MUCH hay? BTW, have a Happy & Productive New Year! 🐇🐇
@@joannc147 thank you! To be honest if all I had available was hay from a big box store I probably wouldn’t feed it because of the crazy cost. Having good field hay around makes a big difference. I’ll probably always live in farm country, so it’s part of my program. Glad you found something cheaper and local! “Too much hay” is kind of a subjective thing. You will definitely find people who are hard line “no hay” feeders. And people on the other side, too. Both are right ;) If your rabbits eat a lot of hay and ignore pellets, they may take longer to grow out. That’s not necessarily all bad, especially if the hay is cheaper than the pellets. Pellets are a complete and balanced feed and most rabbits prefer them and will go for them first; in my experience very few rabbits will choose all hay over pellets. They do a good job of mixing it up. So as long as they have pellets available, it’s hard to feed too much hay, in my opinion. Best advice is to watch the growth and condition of your rabbits and if they’re healthy, in good condition, and you’re happy with the results, don’t overthink it and don’t worry about it. You’re doing fine!
Nice hay feeders, smart idea.
@@BrianJMader54476 thank you!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate it.
@@the.santos.lives. you’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Very clear and a quick solution to fill the hay baskets from the outside of the cage.
@@katedijkers7827 you’re welcome. So easy to feed this way!
You can also buy at the dollar tree, plastic sink mats for cage mats.

P.S. the amount of hay these feeders hold would be hard pressed to be too much. And most of the rabbits have leftovers the next morning.
