From the Manufacturer
Ferrets, rats and chinchillas all love to curl up in a cozy, elevated bed. They love to stay busy and they like to sleep. Fortunately, there is one way to satisfy both of these habits: a hammock! It gives them a place to hang out and something new to look at - and play with.
Why should you pet own one?
Gives them a place to climb
Small animals like a climbing challenge. And hammocks provide them with one. You can set up your hammock so it takes a little work for your rat to climb into it. And once he’s in it, the swinging motion can make movement more difficult. Your rat may enjoy the challenge of climbing in and out of the hammock. It’s a form of enrichment and can keep him busy while you’re away.
Provides a place to sleep
Small animals like to sleep in high, closed-in spaces.Your pet can sleep soundly in a hanging hammock. And it’s much easier to clean than a nest box.
Saves space
You hang it from the top of the cage, it takes up no space. Your rat can run and play on the floor without having a large obstacle blocking his path.
What You Should Know About Hammocks
Types of Fabric
Your pet might prefer plushy fleece or thin nylon. Hammocks are made of several types of materials. Be sure to find one that’s made of his preferred choice.
Suspension
Some hammocks resemble real, human hammocks very closely. You can attach the two corners of it to the corner if the cage so the center has a little stability. or you can suspend some hammocks from the top of your cage, allowing for more movement. But which is better for your pet? It’s hard to say. You need to know what your pet likes. If he’s more into cuddling up in a corner, the first option is best. However, a pet who likes to climb and has an adventurous side would prefer one that moves more.
Shape
Hammocks also come in a variety of shapes. Some are circular, while others are square. You can find ones shaped like houses and others shaped like tunnels. The shape does matter because your rat may prefer sleeping in one shape over another. Consider the size of your pet and how he likes to sleep. If you find him sleeping in a ball, a circular hammock might be suitable. But a pet who stretches out his full length might prefer one with a long, rectangular shape.
Precautions
Please check regularly for signs of chewing and replace when necessary.
