Great hay box for guinea pigs!

I've been looking for different hay boxes for my guinea pigs, but all I've found were handmade and cost $35 or more plus high shipping costs. Then I came across this and it looked perfect! I adopted two young guinea pigs (only 2 months old and from the same litter) and they were BOTH pregnant. It was a real surprise! So now I have 6 kids who are growing fast and eating A LOT. I filled her bag with hay more than 4 times a day so I needed something to hold enough hay to feed her throughout the day. This is the perfect solution! The parts slipped quite easily. The top was a little tight and I had to fiddle around a bit to get it on but I'm happy because it fits nice and tight which is perfect as I use a hat backwards. This is a great hay box for my guinea pigs and was a lot less expensive than other items made for this purpose. The hay stays clean in the box for the most part, it's plentiful and easy to fill! One of the mothers even likes to stretch and take the hay from above. The opening is large, which is ideal for several piglets to eat at the same time. Only downside is kids can crawl in with hay which I don't like because they poop in there. But once they grow up, that shouldn't be a problem. PS For anyone wondering, no I have no plans to keep all 6 babies. They simply wait until they are old enough to separate from their mothers and then move in pairs to new families. And yes, I am taking her to the vet to have her sexed so it doesn't happen again.
