Is this safe to sue as a hay rack?

Would this be safe to use as a hay rack> I have a brand new one I never used and its a pretty good size. Its the same one show in the picture. Its metal with a hard rubber green coating over it. I was curious because I know when my bunny will eat hay from it, he will most likely chew the bar's as well and I didn't know if it was safe for him to do that since it has a hard rubber coating over the wire.

I think it'll work just fine.

I'd be reluctant to use it because it has the coating. Rabbits like to chew and you just don't know how safe/unsafe it is?

It's probably fine, but will depend on your bunny. If he's a chewer and starts to chew off the vinyl coating, take it away from him.

I plan to use 1 ft panels of 1x1 cage wire to make hay racks, my self. I think that coating might cause issues if swallowed. You should be able to remove it with an exacto knife.

I went out to tractor supply and bought a hay rack for bunnies, just to be on the safe side. I am not using the one I am asking about.

thanks for the comments.

Just wanted to say that I have five of these and only one bunny has significantly tried to chew it up, but with no ill effects. I took the chain off and just clip it shut with a leash clip, my bunny Popcorn loves to throw hers around.

I would tend to think that would be more of a toy that you could fill up with hay. If that's the same size suet feeder that I have it's not really large enough to be used as a hay rack.

 

[Whiskerz]

the one I have is actually very large. Its not the little ones you are thinking of
