I don't know if this will help, but my husband built our hay feeder like a big V. It has a roof on it and it's just face level for the Nubies. They were bad to stick their heads through the slats even though we were sure we had them close enough together to prevent that. Finally as a last measure, we lined the inside of the V with woven wire (2" x 4"). Now all they can get in there is their noses. As they pull hay out, more hay follows it and sticks out through the wire. They can finish the hay and they aren't wasting nearly as much as they were before...and best of all, they can't get their heads in there.
