Product description

Tipi Tent Hammock Ami 23 cm

The Tipi Tent Hammock Ami 23 cm is a cozy hanging hideaway made of seagrass and plush. Thanks to the tipi shape, your pet gets not only a hammock but also a sheltered spot to curl up in, rest, or quietly observe the surroundings. The combination of natural seagrass and soft plush makes this hammock playful, warm, and inviting.

This tipi hammock is particularly suitable for animals that enjoy height, shelter, and variety in their enclosure, such as mice, pygmy rats, rats, degus, and birds. You can use it as a resting place, a hanging hideout, or as extra enrichment in a wire cage or aviary. At DRD, when it comes to hammocks, we always consider the combination of animal, material, and use: a hanging spot should not only be fun but also logically align with the animal's behavior.

Why choose a tipi hammock?

A regular hammock is primarily a place to lie down. A tipi hammock, however, offers additional shelter. This makes the hammock interesting for animals that enjoy a safe corner at height. Rats and pygmy rats often use hammocks as a resting place, sleeping spot, or lookout point. The tent shape creates just a little more security than an open hammock.

For mice, the Tipi Tent Hammock Ami can be a fun climbing and hiding place when the enclosure is well-designed with routes leading to the hammock. Think of branches, ropes, platforms, or other safe stepping stones. Mice love multiple routes and hiding spots, so a hanging tipi can nicely contribute to a richer enclosure design.

For degus and birds, the tipi can be particularly interesting as a varied hangout spot. The seagrass provides a natural texture, while the plush ensures a soft interior. Because degus and birds may actively explore materials, regular checking is part of normal use.

For which animals is the Tipi Tent Hammock Ami suitable?

  • Mouse: suitable as a hanging shelter or resting place in a well-designed mouse enclosure. Ensure safe routes to the tipi, for example via branches, platforms, or ropes.
  • Dwarf rat: suitable as a cozy hangout and extra resting place. Dwarf rats are active, curious, and enjoy using different levels in the enclosure.
  • Rat: suitable as a sheltered hammock, resting place, or sleeping spot. Rats often enjoy using hammocks, especially when the hammock hangs securely and is easily accessible.
  • Degu: suitable as hanging enrichment for degus that handle plush and seagrass well. Hang the tipi securely and regularly check how your degus use the material.
  • Bird: suitable as a playful hangout or sheltered perch in a suitable cage or aviary. Curious birds, in particular, may find the shape and material interesting.

For dwarf hamsters, Syrian hamsters, and gerbils, textiles or plush are usually less logical. These animals often use soft materials as nesting material to drag around or to shred into pieces. Natural houses, tunnels, deep bedding, and suitable nesting material are usually a better fit for them. For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and ferrets, it is preferable to choose a different resting or hiding place that better suits their size, use, and material needs.

Usage & placement

Securely hang the Tipi Tent Hammock Ami from the bars of the enclosure. Choose a spot where your animal can easily reach it and where the hammock will remain stable. For rats and pygmy rats, you can incorporate the tipi into a route with platforms, ropes, bridges, or other hammocks. This way, the tipi becomes part of the enclosure's layout rather than a standalone item.

For mice, it is important that the hammock does not hang too high or too isolated. Mice must be able to climb to it safely and get out again easily. For degus and birds, the attachment is particularly important: the tipi must hang securely and be checked regularly, as these animals may actively investigate materials.

Preferably, do not place the hammock over hard accessories or sharp edges. It is better to hang it over a safe surface, bedding, or a place where your animal can land calmly when climbing out of the tipi.

Material, size and maintenance

  • Material: seagrass, plush.
  • Dimensions: approx. 23 × 13 × 15 cm.
  • Suspension system: included.
  • Washing instructions: hand wash.

Thanks to the seagrass, the tipi has a natural look and a light texture. The plush makes the inside softer and cozier. Clean the hammock according to the hand wash instructions and let it dry thoroughly before hanging it back in the enclosure.

Good to know

The Tipi Tent Hammock Ami is intended as a hanging resting and hiding place. Regularly check that the suspension is still securely attached and that the material remains in good condition. Wear marks may appear with animals that like to gnaw, pull, or destroy things. This is part of the active use of enrichment material, but the hammock must remain securely and comfortably suspended.

When you notice that the tipi has been loosened too far, is heavily soiled, or no longer hangs properly, simply replace it with a new one. This ensures the enclosure remains comfortably, varied, and clearly arranged.
