Thrifty Ways to Feed Rabbits

[savingdogs]

I need to do that with my rabbits as well. They waste a lot of hay. While it was so cold I didn't mind there being extra hay in there, but now that it is warming up I need to find a more thrifty way.

But goats are SO wasteful of hay it is hard to fault rabbits. But I'm sure using less hay would be a more thrifty way of feeding them!

They hadnt been eating it. I think it was because it was dirty.........and nasty and such.

Same with mine. But we used these recycled metal storage cases as our hutches, and they are really huge as hutches go. And I wanted them to have a way to warm up in there since body heat will not fill the space as easily. I gave them boxes and lined the sides with hay. But as the season progresses I think they will enjoy having a breeze blow through there instead. Is there a way to make a homemade hay hanging rack? I have some bendy metal wire I was thinking of just making a clump and hanging it from, does anyone have a great cheap idea for that?

Wasting less hay would certainly be more thrifty.
