Is This Safe For Chins To Use?

I want to get a hay holder, but the ones Ive seen is all wire so the hay will fall out of it. I seen this one? Is this okay to use?

I don't think it's really safe due to the chance that a chin could get it's foot caught in the wire while cage surfing. Considering the ball would move in a centripetal motion causing the leg to possibly break in the process, it just looks like an leg amputation waiting to happen. It's really a waste of money. The plastic will be chewed in a heartbeat. There are many other hay holders out there that are safer and made to last. No hay holder is going to keep all the hay in, chins like to pick through their hay and make a mess, it's life ;-)

Nope, and it's junky too. They chew right through the plastic.

I agree. I end up with those all the time and they go right in the garbage. Anything you put the hay in probably won't hold the hay for very long. Chins like to remove the hay and throw it, hence the mess on my floor.

If you're looking for a holder I've had a lot of success with little pine boxes, I attached hardware on the back so they can't get knocked over. I know other members have also had success with other products.
