Enrich your small pet's enclosure by adding fun hammocks for them to climb into and see their world from a higher perspective! These are ideal for small guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters and small rats.
For small furries who can sometimes have a tendency to chew on their furnishings, it is most important that they are made with materials that they can safely chew and digest, should they be a super-chewer. Unfortunately, most fabric hammocks on the market are made with fabrics that herbivores can't digest, such as cotton or even worse plastic fabrics (fleece etc), and so can be very dangerous causing intestinal blockages, BUT NOT OURS!
Our hemp and hessian hammocks are made almost entirely from hemp. The outer fabric is natural untreated hessian, which is made from unspun hemp fibres. The inner padding is pure untreated hemp felt, which is a form of matting made entirely from raw hemp fibre that is grown, harvested and made in the UK. We hand-sew our hessian using the warp and weft threads from the hessian itself, and so they too are unspun fibres which won't cause intestinal blockages if nibbled. The hanging twine is untreated jute rope, which is also made from hemp fibres. Finally, the sticks inside the hammocks are natural willow, and they provide support for the hammocks when they hang, but of course they are also perfectly safe for your pets.
These hammocks measure approximately 20cm long (8 inches) by 15cm wide (6 inches) and the hanging height is approximately 24cm (9.5 inches), which is ideal for smaller guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters and small rats, amongst others. They come with small metal clip hooks for you to attach them to the enclosure.
If you have a glass or plastic enclosure, you can also buy them with two 47mm suction cups. Our suction cups are made in the USA by Adams, are manufactured to superior quality so that they do not perish in sunlight or high humidity and are rated to hold loads of 1.36kg (3lb) in weight.
As every item is handmade by us in our own workshop using natural materials, sizes may vary slightly.
IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY INFO
Some pets chew more than others: some don't chew their hammocks at all, but others might give it a really good chomp. Only you know your own pet's behavioural character, so do monitor their use of the hammock. If you find that your pet is a big chewer, such that they eat through the integrity of the hammock, do remove it immediately from the enclosure so that there is no risk of entanglement.
