What makes a great rat hammock?
Rats are incredibly active and social pets that love to play for hours. As you know, they're happiest in pairs or groups, so your choice of rat hammock needs to accommodate group fun. Wide, hanging hammocks are a fantastic choice, as are double-layer or "bunkbed" models. When it comes to material, always opt for durable, strong fabrics that can withstand active use.

What About a Hamster Hanging Bed?
For some of the smallest rodents, such as hamsters, the goal is maximum comfort and enjoyment. If you know your pets enjoy lounging together, look for a hamster hanging bed with a larger surface area. For those who prefer to rest alone, a smaller, more secluded hammock—perhaps one that doubles as a hideaway—is the perfect cosy spot.

What Kind of Ferret Hammock Should I Get?

Do Guinea Pigs Like Hammocks?
Yes, they often do! When selecting hammocks for guinea pigs, focus on stability. Our customers love models with sturdy metal hooks that can be easily attached to the inside of the cage. Guinea pigs value cosiness, so a model that allows them to play on top and hide inside is ideal. Important: Don't hang the hammock too high. Guinea pigs need to be able to get in and out of their enclosure safely.

Do Rabbits Like Hammocks?
It depends on the rabbit! Some rabbits love lounging in a low-hung rabbit hammock, especially if it's wide and stable. Others might ignore it or prefer to chew on it. To encourage your rabbit, place the hammock very low to the ground, almost like a sling bridge. It must be very sturdy and made from safe, natural materials that are safe to chew.

Are Hammocks Safe for Small Pets?
This is a great question. Are hammocks safe for small pets? Yes, when chosen and installed correctly. Professionally made hammocks are designed for safety, but if you're considering a DIY project, be careful. Materials like old tights or socks can be dangerous, as pets can get their claws or limbs tangled. For any DIY hammock, a sturdy and safe design is essential. If you'd rather save time for playing with your pets, you can buy a ready-made, cosy hammock, like the popular models from TIAKI.
