"My Guinea Pigs love this. Guinea pigs should not eat out of wire racks and mine won't eat hay on the floor so this is just perfect. They love to chew on it as well so it's like a 2 for 1. The only problem is the wood can be a little flimsy if you put to much pressure on it. I have to get another one..."
"After I bought this item the wood splintered. I used it for maybe a week. The wood bars to hold the hay in also pop out which may be a safety hazard for animals. I do not recommend this product and wish I got a different one."
If you're looking for a hay feeder that your small pet will love but are concerned about durability, this may not be the best option. Consider looking for alternatives if longevity is a priority.
