Why Use a Hay Manger in Your Small Pet Habitat
Rabbits and guinea pigs need constant access to fresh hay for digestion and dental health. A dedicated hay manger keeps hay off the habitat floor, reducing waste and spoilage while encouraging natural foraging behavior. The Tiny Paws Small Hay Manger for Habitats is designed to hold your furry friend's favorite hay, keeping it clean and accessible.

How to Attach and Fill the Hay Manger
Follow these simple steps to set up the Tiny Paws Small Hay Manger in your rabbit or guinea pig habitat.
- 1. Choose the attachment spot: Select a side panel of your Habitat Castle or similar enclosure that is easy for your pet to reach. The manger attaches to the side, so pick a location where your pet can comfortably nibble without stretching too far.
- 2. Attach the manger: Align the manger’s mounting tabs with the bars or slots on the habitat side. Press firmly until it clicks or hooks into place. The design is tool-free and should hold securely once attached.
- 3. Fill with fresh hay: Stuff the manger loosely with your pet’s usual hay. Avoid overpacking so your pet can easily pull out strands. Refill daily to encourage foraging and keep hay fresh.
- 4. Clean regularly: Remove any uneaten hay and wipe the manger with a damp cloth during routine habitat cleaning. The durable materials make this quick to do without removing the manger.
Placement Tips for Rabbits vs. Guinea Pigs
For rabbits, mount the manger at a height where they can reach it without standing on hind legs — roughly chin level. Guinea pigs prefer a lower position, close to their bedding level, since they are ground-foragers by nature. Both species benefit from having the manger near their usual resting area so they can snack without traveling far.
What to Keep in Mind
The Tiny Paws Small Hay Manger is designed specifically for use with Habitat Castle setups. If your habitat has different bar spacing or wall construction, check compatibility before purchasing. The manger holds a modest amount of hay — ideal for daily refills rather than bulk storage. Always provide fresh water and a balanced diet alongside the hay.
