Reddit mentions of Small Pet Select Hand Made Hay Manger, Small

A piece of friendly advice: I notice there is some digging of the rug going on, which might be unsafe if she eats any of the small bits. I highly recommend this indoor/outdoor rug instead - it is easy to clean, inexpensive, and due to a tight weave hard to chew or dig, and looks great. It fantastic and a lot of bunny parents use it.

Also consider adding an xpen for the bunny to your set up... sorry but this cage is too small for the bun of this size especially. Bunnies need at least 4 by 4 ft of space at all time to be healthy and happy.

A cage is not enough, this is true during the night also and when you are sleeping. Rabbits are crepuscular - meaning most active at night and early mornings as prey animals, so they are quite active often when humans sleep...

I totally understand the idea of having the bun in a more secure space when you are asleep but given the crepuscular schedule I mentioned above try to expand that space from just a cage. You can get an xpen or some NIC grids and attach them to the cage edges with some zipties such that the hutch door always leads to a larger but still more secure space for him. Kind of like in here or this picture or this or this.

You might consider doing something like this and this. They are using a large dog crate (though you could use a medium size maybe too if bun has an xpen attached) and they added a second floor to it also. The person kindly shared their set up and how they made it in this thread.

Diet:

I also see very little hay in the cage - it super hard to get out of that hay rack you have... hay is 90% of their diet and critical to digesting and keeping the teeth from overgrowing. You need to make sure good quality unlimited hay is available at all times and is a good hay eater. In that rack he will never be a good hay eater.

Instead of putting it in the rack or in addition to that, also put a HEAPING pile of hay on one corner of his cage for him to eat or get a hay rack like this or this.



The correct diet for an adult bunny is - UNLIMITED hay, 1/4 cup MAX of plain pellets per day (not colorful bits or seed in them, and do not give unlimited pellets), 1 to 2 cups of green leafy veggies. Carrot, kale, and fruit only as occasional very small treats. No yogurt drops or processed sugars.

My guide has more details.... please consider this advice as it will save a lot of money in vet bills.
