You may have had to cut some wire to get the mount to accept
To suspend the hay holder, I made a loop with twist tie wire from Home Depot that comes on a spool (in the outside garden department). I threaded it through the screw on cap and placed it between the hay holder and the cap. Unlike the loops inside the pen, these are anchored outside it. I have not noticed my guinea pigs chewing on the plastic covered wire behind the hay holder more than a few months ago. Here is what I hope will help.
The weight is not too great
You should turn the knob counterclockwise if you are pointing at the back of the feeder It needs to be turned counter-clockwise to be removed. The elastic is always a little bit tight and I do have a difficult time with it myself, but eventually it comes

I was tired of seeing Timothy hay waste away at the bottom of the rabbit After spending lots of money on some terrible wire hangars that failed to hold the hay, I settled on a product that actually works. I am very happy with this design because it truly holds the hay, and I am very satisfied with the spring to secure the grate. Additionally, it features a low profile mount with a turn / screw style mounting system. I am pleased with this purchase in general.
Update 8/19
Originally I had some nice things to say about this hay rack, but last night I heard her scream. There is a good chance that she caught herself Because she ate the last of the hay and was caught, I do not know if she was caught If she broke the metal by opening it to try to get hay in, the metal snapped or if she preyed on it. In any case, she got hurt, and I am glad she is not seriously hurt. The sound of an animal screaming was terrifying for me since rabbits never do it unless they are in trouble or in pain. The reason I changed my rating was because of this. This had never happened before & she couldn't remember when it happened The only thing that happened was when I received Once all the hay is gone, the fact that it has to be lifted and could actually snap/close has become a safety hazard, so I won't be using this any longer. Despite what I thought, these hay racks were smaller than I thought they would be. The top part of the rack doesn't really open, making it quite tedious to load but it does keep the hay from falling into the rabbit's litter box and hangs from inside her pen so that's helpful. The size was too small for my liking, so I gave it only Although I'm sure it'll be fine for a dwarf rabbit or a guinea pig, it's too small for my lionhead since she eats a lot of hay. Despite some shortcomings, it is still pretty good for the purpose it is intended for.
Furthermore, it was packaged well, so I was also grateful for that.
I found this feeder to be the right size As he used the last one, I was struggling to keep track of how much hay was coming out of it. The great thing about this one is the tray that catches all the pieces and saves me cleaning up time. I also love it because I can store so much in Despite the fact that the hinge mechanism was placed on a rod that had a little rust on it almost right out of the box, I gave this product 4 stars. Apart from that, this feeder is certainly a good choice.
While I think it would be great for rabbits and guinea pigs, as it is made of plastic, I am not sure I'll use it much since I have a chinchilla (my fault for not thinking about that when I bought it). Also, the spring loaded clamp is a little concerning when you consider how little critters will get their fingers stuck if they pull hay out all Even though it's not a spring loaded device, I could see how it could potentially clamp some delicate fingers. My final search resulted in finding a ceramic hay feeder that's perfect for all types of grass Here's the deal The chinchilla is used for a certain amount of time each day. However, as I said, this would be ideal for rabbits and guinea pigs. As a side note, critter nations will not work with this. If the horizontal space between the bars is less than 1/2 inch, use that cage. The hay rack attachment can only be attached to vertical bars and it won't rotate unless you want to turn the whole rack sideways (which defeats the purpose of the small hay catching area.
We don't need to spend a lot of time on this. I like the way this product is made. The plastic is heavy-duty, and the spring is solid and tight. There has been less hay wasted and a reduction in the amount of mess created. As soon as the hay is loaded, it is securely held in place. Although it is easiest to load when laying flat, removing it day after day is not practical. I have found it to be the best solution, and now my ravenous ravenitis piglet is full enough to go two days without the pain. You have done a good job.
I like how it looks and how it works Plastic that is well made and sturdy. There's a little fall out of Hay. That's really 4 out of 5. A 5 out of 5.
I find this to be well suited to my chest and shoulders A cage with walls of six inches thick. Loading hay is as simple as pulling the spring back and sliding a handful or two of hay into the tray portion, which the grates hold When I load it, I pull some partial hay strands loose and leave some sticking out of the sides so they can get to them more easily, but even without that, there is more access to the hay than in the 2-gallon cage. The feeder is for one bin. It was initially a bit upsetting for guinea pigs that they couldn't pull out huge portions of food and spread them all over the cage floor for trampling, but they have since adapted. I definitely noticed a reduction in wasted hay, and cage cleaning will be much easier with this.
