I live in a dry climate, so I just put the chunks of salt on the cage floor. In a high humidity area salt on the wire will cause rust. You can punch a couple of holes in a tuna can and ziptie it to the wire. I recently found some little candle holder (?) bowls at DollarTree that have a lip and I ziptie those to the cage to offer supplements in.

I buy the 50lb red salt/mineral blocks for my rabbits and knock chunks off with a hammer.

I haven't tried it, but read about that method in The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery. I'm not sure if it would actually provide enough salt though.
