How to use

Place the feeder in an easily accessible location within your pet's cage or enclosure, preferably at a height that allows your rabbit or guinea pig to comfortably reach the hay. Fill the tray with fresh, good-quality hay, being careful not to overfill it so the hay doesn't become compacted. It's recommended to remove any uneaten hay daily and clean the feeder with warm water and mild soap at least once a week. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals. Always keep fresh water available near the feeder.
