Tired of hay everywhere?

Great! I have one of those things and it was awful for clothes, too. I think hay is lighter so it may work just fine for hay.

At Target, mine was like $25-$30. Kind of a rip off, so maybe you guys should try Craig's list. I also noticed that Ross has wicker hampers pretty regularly.

zazzified, I'm not sure the size of the box, but I'll measure when I get home.

Have I tooooold...

You lately...

That I love you?

EXCELLENT idea Weaver!! Much better than depending on the highly hay allergic cat to alert me to where hay has managed to meander. I don't have him with me anymore anyway, which is better for his health and ability to keep his fur.

Weaver, are you able to estimate how many "flakes" of hay the hamper might hold?

I am not sure how many flakes that it holds. Maybe 1/3 of a bale?

Lynx, I looked at that page (which is very nice!) and I noticed that it states "Hay storage should be free of rodents".

My pigs would like to violently disagree with that statement.

I am confused. So you don't bring the hay to the hay rack, but instead bring the hay rack to the hay?

Yes, I used to bring the hay rack to the hay. Now I can roll around the hay and unclip the haybins and fill them up right at the cage.

If I was to have brought the hay to the hayrack it all drops out of my hand as I am walking to the cage and makes a mess. I hate cleaning up hay. Not that I don't have to anyways, but why give myself even more work. Right?

Weaver, thanks so much for the wonderful idea!

I've been shlepping my box of hay from the kitchen to the cages twice a day, every day.

And although many people don't want a hamper in their living room (heck, my niece tried to get me to get the pigs out of the living room!), the hamper works perfectly for me.

Didn't use the same one, but would not have thought of it without you!

Jaybeebrad, where did you get those shelves at?

My shelves are from buyrack.com. Those are 2 x 4 cages which work well for me since I do need grids in the front. See how the coroplast overhangs the shelf by a little inthe front. The unit itself is 48 x 24, which is narrower than a standard cc 2x4. It was expensive though, but worth every penny to me.
