Hay rack recommendations

Hi I have two house rabbits who reside in a Boyles indoor run when they're not playing out.
So far I've got them trained to use 2 toilets and I put their hay inside these toilets for them to eat.
I'm hoping to get a hay rack though to prevent hay getting spoiled.
Needs to be able to screw onto the run wall and preferably have a solid top as they will most likely jump on top.

Any recommendations? Or similar set ups I can see that you've got please!

Thanks!

I got them from eBay - they're just end tables and the underneath bit is a magazine rack! Picked them up and super pleased! Will try and get a better photo later if you want? Will see if they've got any indication of where they were from when i go and get them out of the car.

I've just got a window-basket one, like a hanging basket that screws to the wall. Lined with chickenwire to stop the hay falling out too much!

Ha, this one's even called a hay rack, maybe they've realised ;P http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/farmhouse-hay-rack---51cm-917395

Hmm I like it but mine would jump in and get their legs stuck

Oh dear! Maybe not then :lol: Mine's tried to get in the hanging swinging type, but it's too unstable for him to make it so he gave up. You could lid it with a bit of wood, hinged on the thing you're attaching it to (wall, panel etc.)? Actually, that's a good idea and I might do that with mine before the buns go in!

Mine is this one. It doesn't hold a great deal but mine prefer fresh hay anyway and I fill it 3-4 times a day as well as topping up the hay in the tray. You could always buy two though. I also have a Boyles pen and there was no issue attaching it to the wood.

I know lots of people use this IKEA 'plastic bag holder' as a hay rack. Its really cheap but sturdy and can be attached to lots of different surfaces.
