The present inventive concept relates to a feeder (1) for animals comprising a volume (3) for holding hay defined by a front layer (5) and a rear layer (7). The rear layer is arranged opposite to and connected to the front layer. The front layer comprises a first meshed net (10) having meshes (12) of a first mesh size through which an animal may remove hay. The feeder also comprises a second meshed net (20) comprised in the rear layer and having meshes (22) of a second mesh size smaller than the first mesh size, thereby imposing a greater effort for the animal to remove hay through the second meshed net compared to through the first meshed net, or the feeder comprise a second meshed net arranged in front of the first meshed net thereby imposing a greater effort for the animal to remove hay through both the first and second meshed nets compared to through only the first meshed net.
