BON JOVI I Think I've Got It!!

I have been fighting the inevitable "piggie hay mess"... ya know, the mess the piggies make by tossing hay out of their cage all over the floor. Well I tried a hay rack, a hay box, etc. Still I had more hay ending up on the floor of the cage and the floor under and around the cage... and after the dogs have played in it... hay all over the house.  This nifty hay dispenser consists of a small bungie cord, a  PVC connector and a backsplash of cardboard.

Preemie (Doll) Stretch Socks

These socks actually decrease after the heel making the ankle smaller than the foot to accomodate smaller ankles and soft body type ankles. The yarn used is stretchy and is helpful in avoiding slippage. These socks are for preemie sized dolls. I would not recommend them for human preemies.
