    Hammock

    Hello, everyone Just wanted to post a picture of the hammock I put up this morning. Hammock-2012-04-03-13.50.04-640x413-.jpg Gidget was checking it out as soon as I got it up ha ha. I had to put Gemini on it and of course ms scary piggie had to jump off immediately but likes hanging out under it. I had previously used it for a tent and a mat in the cabana beds but now its a hammock. VERSATILE

    It looks great!

    Also, somebody recently posted a picture of a hammock made out of a knit cap....... Thought that was cool.

    Did you make this yourself?

    Pretty neat and very cute colors! I want to sew something similar from cotton or fleece. Do your guinea pigs ever get their nails caught in the yarn?

    I was worried that a hammock wouldn't be safe for a GP. Are they safe?

    I saw that you used the same concept for the cabanas. How do you make it?

    If a hammock is up high is can cause them to possibly get hurt when they jump down. Some people will say they shouldn't be used and others will say its ok.

    Personally I have used them but I keep them 1" from the ground. 2 of my pigs love them while one does. The one that doesn't is also older (3 this august) while the other two are just over a year.

    My two will sleep in them and poop LOTS, more then beds in my opinion.

    If your worried its always better to side on the side of caution and just not use them.



    As for this hammock, I too am worried about the nails being caught. Maybe placing a strip of fleece over the part where they will be laying might be an idea. Even trimmed nails can slip in between the yarn. Either way its sure cute.

    Re: Hammock

    @charliespet , how do they get inside? I would be afraid my piggies wouldn't know to go inside it and would instead sleep under it.

    I lowerd it a little after this pic. I put a treat inside so shes would investigate because shes never had a hammock. It's sort of like a sleeping sack I guess, but she did get in:Hammock-382.jpg

    Re: Hammock

    @boofp Sorry about the blurryness! My cam was on the wrong setting and the ones I had with her in or around it were the worst one...(of course I got pics of just the stuff perfectly...LOL and not my Piggy in them too... Anyway its a box. A round box from the dollar store. I do have a better pic. She stands on it...rolls it around, and likes the patterns I think. She also has a mirror she loves too.Hammock-378.jpg

    Wait that was supposed to be for someone else...oh dear...
