 Guinea pig afraid of hay feeder

Hello. I have recently made my guinea pig a hay feeder. You know the ones that attach to the side of the cage? The thing is though he is afraid of it. I dont really want to put the hay on the ground but he is terrified of the feeder. Or would it be ok to keep it on the ground? Thanks

 Guinea pig afraid of hay feeder

It sounds rather strange to hear that he is afraid of the feeder, maybe he is just shocked by it lol... Put some hay in and below the feeder for a couple days and let him get used to the idea. Eventually your guinea pig should start using it. My guinea pigs tend to naturally eat the hay that has fallen out of it first rather than going for the hay in the feeder first. Now a days I prefer to just keep the hay loose in the cage. Best o luck
