Hammocks for Guinea Pigs

Order hammocks for your guinea pigs easily and quickly at DRD Knaagdierwinkel!

Guinea pigs love hanging out in a hammock! While hammocks were normally always the domain of mice and rats, we can also count guinea pigs among hammock enthusiasts. In this category we have put together a selection of hammocks that are suitable for guinea pigs. We must take into account the size and dimensions of the hammock on the one hand and the material on the other. Fortunately, we have a wide choice!

How big should a guinea pig hammock be?

This depends somewhat on the size of the guinea pig. For an adult guinea pig, a hammock between 30 and 40 cm is ideal. Of course, you can always go bigger! A larger hammock could even accommodate two animals. A hammock that is too small is very annoying because the animals just don't fit in it.

How should you hang a hammock for your Guinea pig?

Once a hammock has been selected, it is easiest to hang it on the bars, but what if the animals stay in a home-made enclosure or a C&C Ren? Then hanging becomes difficult. Fortunately, we have solutions for that too. Nowadays there are special platforms available under which a hammock can be hung.

Oh yes, we also thought about hanging systems! Individual chains are also available!

Are the Guinea pigs fighting over the hammock?

Just like with houses, Guinea pigs can fight over a hammock. This can happen if a more dominant animal takes possession of the hammock and starts chasing the other animals away. The only solution here is to hang a second hammock.
