FAQs

How often should I clean the hay manger?

Ideally, you should clean the manger daily or every other day to prevent the buildup of uneaten hay and droppings.

What kind of hay is best for the manger?

Timothy hay, orchard grass, or other types of hay suitable for small animals are recommended. Ensure the hay is fresh and of good quality.

Is the manger safe for my pet?

Yes, the manger is designed with safety in mind. The plastic lid helps prevent injury and contains the hay. However, always supervise your pet and ensure there are no sharp edges.

Can I use this manger for multiple animals?

Yes, but ensure there is enough space and that all animals have access to the hay. Monitor for any signs of food aggression.

How do I attach the manger to the cage?

The manger is designed to be hung from the cage bars. The exact method will depend on the type of cage, but it generally involves using the provided hooks.

What are the dimensions of the hay manger?

The dimensions are 25 cm in length, 18 cm in height, and 12 cm in width.

What is the hay manger made of?

The hay manger is made of metal with a powder-coated finish and a plastic lid.

How do I maintain the plastic lid?

Regularly wipe the lid with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Manger is difficult to hang.

Ensure the hooks are properly aligned and that the cage bars are the correct size to accommodate the hooks. If necessary, use alternative hanging methods such as zip ties or wire.

Animal is pulling out hay and making a mess.

Try adjusting the placement of the manger or using a heavier type of hay that is more difficult to pull out. You may also need to monitor the amount of hay provided.

The lid is loose or doesn't stay closed.

Check the lid's attachment points and ensure they are properly aligned. You may need to gently bend the metal to improve the fit. Consider adding a small weight on top of the lid if needed.
