  So my rabbit will eat hay, but I don’t think he’s eating enough, due to dirtying it. I put it in his pen (indoors) in a range of ways: Scattered on floor, in a tray, and using a smaller box that he couldn’t wee in. What’s the best way to serve hay to encourage him to eat it and keep it clean?
  
  Also, he loves to eat paper. Including wallpaper. He’s indoors when I’m at work but I keep him in a spare room that I’m not bothered about him destroying. I’m just worried about how much harm it’s doing to his insides- will it cause serious problems to his health?
  
  Lastly, he eats Readigrass often- is this classed as hay or not? Is it healthy for him?

  I use metal hay balls to put my boys’ hay in. There are lots of different types of hay racks you could try.
  
  Ingesting a lot of paper is not a good thing. I would def limit how much he has access to.
