Weuse metal electrical boxes and wire them to the side of thecage. They can be easily removed if we need to dump them, butthe rabbits can't tip them.

(My hubby is an electrician, so I'm always raiding his stash of electrical boxes LOL).

I was at the hardware store with Matthew when he was little when he sawall the shelves of electrical boxes and said, "Wow! They surehave a lot of rabbit dishes here!".

What a neat Idea Pam , thatwould surely save a lot of money ! Jfeeders are $8.99 a feeder as apposed to $ 1.00 per electric box ,

Im getting out the calculatorand going to add up just how much Money Icould have saved , altho it might just scare me todeath !

Most of the electrical boxes have small holes inthe bottom, so I use a piece of duct tape underneathto coverthe holes.

Well, I couldn't find those wide-mouth feedersPam mentioned, so I am switching him over to a bowl and using his oldfeeder as a hayrack. Now, the hay will stick out, he can grab it, andit is mess free!

Most on-line equipment suppliers carry the wide mouth feeders.

we use ceramic bowls for food, works well for us, but each to their own I guess.
