Trixie Grass Hammock 40 cm for rodents

The Trixie Grass Hammock 40 cm is a natural hammock made of grass and water hyacinth. You can hang the hammock in the enclosure as a resting place, seating area, climbing structure, or natural chewing material. This makes the product not only a place to hang out, but also a fun form of enrichment.

Why choose a grass hammock?

A grass hammock serves a different function than a soft fabric hammock. This product is more natural, has a firmer structure, and is also interesting to nibble on. This makes the hammock suitable for animals that enjoy exploring, pulling, gnawing, and actively using their enclosure.

For mice and rats, the hammock can be a fun place to hang or a climbing route. These animals enjoy using height and often find extra routes within the enclosure interesting. For hamsters and gerbils, the hammock is especially fun when you hang it low or use it as a natural mat, so they can sit on it, nibble on it, or walk alongside it for shelter.

Chinchillas and degus can also use this hammock as natural gnawing and enrichment material. Because they are strong gnawers, regular monitoring is important. If the suspension loops or the mat are chewed through too deeply, you can remove the product from the enclosure or offer it lower down as a separate gnawing mat, as long as it remains neat and safe.

How do you use the Trixie Grass Hammock?

• Hang the grass hammock securely from bars or a safe attachment point.
• Make sure your animal can easily access it via a platform, ladder, tunnel, or low entry.
• Hang the hammock higher for good climbers such as mice and rats, provided the route is safe.
• Hang the hammock lower for hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and degus.
• Regularly check whether the loops, edges, and woven parts are still firm.

You can also hang the hammock low or let it rest partially on the bedding. This turns it into more of a natural mat, resting place, or nibbling spot. This is especially useful for animals that are not very good climbers or that prefer to explore the hammock rather than lie in it.

For which animals is the Trixie Grass Hammock suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a natural hangout, climbing route, and gnawing material. Mice are good climbers and enjoy using differences in height.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable when the hammock is hung low and easily accessible. Also nice as a natural chew mat or decorative element in the interior.
• Hamster: suitable as a low hammock or natural mat. Do not hang it high; hamsters prefer to rest low and sheltered.
• Gerbil: suitable as natural gnawing material and a low hammock. Gerbils can gnaw vigorously, so check regularly for wear.
• Rat: suitable as a natural hangout or climbing structure. Rats can also gnaw on it, so be sure to check the hanging loops carefully.
• Chinchilla: suitable as natural enrichment and gnawing material. Check carefully for wear and secure suspension.
• Degu: suitable as a natural hammock or chew mat. Degus like to gnaw, so checking regularly remains important.

Always use the hammock in a way that suits the animal species. For good climbers, it can be hung higher, but for animals that are less skilled climbers, hanging it low or offering it as a mat is usually the best choice.
