Troubleshooting
Hay is not dispensing quickly enough
Ensure the hay is not packed too tightly. Break apart larger clumps before filling. The design is intended to slow feeding; if it's too slow, consider a net with slightly larger holes for future purchases or use for horses that require faster access.
Net appears to be stretching or losing shape
Inspect the net for any damage to the knots or braiding. If significant stretching occurs, it may be time to replace the net. Ensure you are not overfilling the net beyond its capacity.
Horse is tearing at the net
Check for any loose ends or fraying points that might be encouraging biting. Ensure the net is properly secured and there are no sharp objects in the vicinity. If the horse is exceptionally destructive, consider a net made from even stronger materials.
