I put Edwards hay in a rack ,some in his hay ball ( he loves this) and some on his floor.I always make sure he has plenty but he does not seem to use the hay rack its a plastic one that came with his house I would like him to use it so he has some hay he has not wee'd on.Is there a better one I can get him that might encourage him to use it?
 
You can get wire ones that sit inside the cage, sometimes piggies like those better. I think some piggies just like the taste of the wee as my boys pull it all out of the rack, wee on it THEN eat it. Lush.
 
I dont even bother with a hay rack anymore, they are happier with rummaging around on the floor and eating peed on hay than taking it from a hayrack, also limits mess because I can just put the bag of hay in the cage and pull it out.

The plastic ones, can be awkward to get their teeth round their bars too, so I would suggest what Connie said.
 
I used to use grids bent in the middle then bent at the sides but now it just goes in the litter trays
 
My boys have never bothered with the hay rack as they much prefer the hay hut to sit, eat, sleep, poo, pee, and play in! Even when I put fancy expensive hay in the rack it still gets ignored!
 
I have a metal hay rack, which I mostly put their treat hay in like excel herbage/ vita verde/ Burns green oat. They tend to use it more when it has the exciting stuff in, their normal hay I have in two cat litter trays and they love playing in it and will sit and eat it whilst lying in it :)
