Hay racks for chinchillas

Buy your hay rack for your chinchillas easily at DRD Rodent Shop®. For a hay rack for your chinchillas, you have come to the right place in our Chinchilla webshop. Hay is a very important part of the food for chinchillas. The hay can best be offered in a hay rack. This way it stays together well and the animals cannot pee on it.

A good hay rack should be made in such a way that the animals can get their snout between the bars, but this usually only works particularly well with vertical bars (because most animal noses are not that wide, but they are high/long). However, the animals should not be able to stick their head through, otherwise their head can get stuck between the supports. If you see that your animal's head can go through the bars, remove the rack from the enclosure and choose a rack with a smaller bar distance. For chinchillas, a distance between the bars of roughly 2.5-3 cm is recommended. For young animals, a smaller bar distance should of course be chosen.

Wooden hay racks are very beautiful and have a natural look. However, it can happen that the chinchillas nibble on the rack in addition to the hay. A metal, or especially an aluminum hay rack lasts a lot longer. There are many different types of hay racks available. Each hay rack can be used in its own way. For example, one hay rack can be hung up and the other can be placed down. It is also a nice idea to give the animals a fixed hay rack, so one that is attached to the bars or the wall and another to hang up for extra challenge and exercise.
