I even had one chin who refused to eat any hay when it wasnt in that dish.
 
I took a small cardboard box, tore off the top and one side, and used safety pins to fasten it to the cage. It's still a bit messy, but this was something I came up with as I was supposed to be leaving my house. My chinchilla is too picky to eat his hay out of a bowl. I'm very surprised at how much he's eating hay now!

I finally tracked down one of those ceramic flat sided flower pots and started putting hay in it. The chins went wild for it - popcorning and the like. I think they just like new stuff in general.

I also use a willow ball that they have started to demolish. I stick hay inside poking out the top and position it on one of their shelves in case the other one is hogging the hay pot. It lasts for a while, but eventually the willow ball needs to be replaced and the cycle starts all over again.
 
i have gone thru several options throughout my ten years as a chinowner and finally have found my favorite. At Petsmart, they have small ceramic "critter dust bath" containers (for a hamster? i dont know) but it is absolutely PERFECT for shoving a fistful of hay in. they can pull it out easily without creating a mess as well. and they are so reasonably priced, easy to find, looove it!! heres a link online. or search "all living things small pet critter bath".
