Teenage Guinea Pig
I don't like the plastic hay rack that came with the cage plus the cage is deep and my new babies are shorties; I think they'd struggle to reach it comfortably and I envision a lot of rage biting at the bars of the cage if the hay fails to drop within reach and they're already waking me up multiple times in the night with their zoomies; I can't be doing with bar chewing and pinging noises.
I thought they'd like it if I just dumped a large pile in the cage and fluffed it up so they could hide in it and eat it but they always completely flatten it all and poop and wee all over it. If they like it that way, fair enough, I guess, but are there any good hay feeders that they can use quietly and won't get stuck in? (I've been reading the horror stories on here regarding certain toys marketed to piggies).
I had thought about putting a cardboard box in the cage and stuffing it with hay but I'm assuming they'd eat the box? Is it ok for them to eat cardboard?
