Hammocks for Rats

Buy hammocks for your Rats easily and quickly at DRD Rodent Shop ^®

Rats are social animals; they prefer to lie in a hammock together. Rats are very good climbers and prefer to sleep high in the cage. It is therefore best to hang the hammocks high in the cage for them.

Hammocks for every season

Many hammocks have a warm and a cold side. The warm side is lined with sheepskin (imitation) and the cold side is nylon. Rats almost always sleep together so they stay nice and warm, but they certainly appreciate a warm hammock! In the summer when it is a bit warmer you can offer the Rats the cool side. They will be very happy with it!

What size hammock for the rat?

Although you can also use the smaller sizes of hammocks, the larger ones from 28/30 cm are the best. Do you have a large group of Rats? Then 45 cm is even better.

Crack a hammock?

Hammocks are very popular with the Rats, but unfortunately not gnawing resistant. In order to give the hammock a long life, we recommend that you give them sufficient distraction, especially with young rats. Gnawing a hammock often arises from boredom or from a lack of nesting material . Rats like a nice soft bed to sleep in, if there is a lack of this they will use the hammock for it.

Play, play and play some more

TIP! Rats are playful and active animals. Give them lots of toys , climbing material , nibbling material, plateaus, tunnels, houses , etc. so that they don't get bored. If you feel like there's almost no room left to add anything to the cage, then the decor is Rat Friendly!
