So after seeing that someone uses one of those plastic bag dispensers as a hay rack (I’m sorry I don’t remember who) I’ve been on a mission to get one. I’m all about being neat and tidy, and this seemed like a great way to keep hay in order. So not having an IKEA nearby, I searched the internet and found something on amazon I really liked the look of. I don’t have it yet, but I’ve ordered it. I just was curious to see what people thought. Or maybe I’m just a spontaneous buyer of bunny paraphernalia. Anyway here’s the stock photo taken from Amazon.com

Bwahaha, well, the item that I found was from Catalina while looking through her bonding photos of her 2 boys.
Ikea isn’t accepting orders online for this:

I’ve been using it since Saturday and my bunny loves it, lol. No more hay in the water bowl!
I hope that you will find it!!I”m always on the look out for things that can be used for my bunny

Alright, so it came in. Looks great, but never thought about one problem……It doesn’t have a back to it. I guess it is meant to drill into a wall, like in a supply closet. So I decided to cut a piece of cardboard to fit and zip tied it to the frame. Seems to work for now at least. Otherwise, I really like it and I think it will work great.
And the box came filled with shredded paper! It was like bunny Christmas!
Little Larry is a paper fiend! 
Oh, and I attached it the the x-pen with one of those little key chain clips. You know the small version of what rock climbers use….

I actually bought something similar for my rabbit Sammy’s xpen recently at The Container Store.
It is also meant as a plastic bag holder and has a back to it, as well as a larger hole at the front towards the bottom, which makes it easier for my bunny to pull hay out of it.
Here it is:

Here it is in his pen. Sorry for the blurriness, taken with my iPhone. He has a bigger litter box now with a high back, and the hay rack hang just above it.

Otti, what do you have along the wall there? What looks like clear stuff? I’ve been looking for something like that, I keep marking up my wall with the pen when I move it…or Larry moves it. I also need something like that to cover the bottom shelf of a bookshelf…
I too am particular.
I thought about getting that dispenser you have there, I like that it has the hanging hooks. Petzy, since we just started using it last night it’s yet to be seen what will happen as he starts eating hay out of it. I’ll probably have to mess with it

The plastic stuff behind the xpen also comes from The Container Store. It’s good to protect my floorboards (which he could still reach through his cage bars) and also the walls from the pen and from possible spills.
They actually are meant as shelf liners. They’re called Metro Clear Shelf Liners and I bought the 18 by 48 type, two of them. They’re stuck to the wall with white sticky tack and fitted into the space between the carpet and floorboards so they cover the floorboards completely. The pen holds them up really well on their own though, so the sticky tack is more just in case.I did rearrange his pen so that it is a full loop, instead of open on one side, because he seemed to interested in escaping when it was set up like the picture. I’m waiting for additional panels to extend it again to the full size of his flooring, without having to open the pen itself.Here’s a link to the liners:
