Our chins can often be found snoozing in their hammocks. Two chins can easily fit in the hammock, although three might require some chirpy negotiations. Large hammocks have a patterned fleece on one side, and a complementary solid color on the other. They can easily be reversed depending your (or your chin’s) mood. Large hammocks measure approximately 43cm by 30.5cm (17 by 12 inches) and come with metal hardware for hanging. Hems are kept hidden and stitching is specifically kept to a minimum to avoid nibbles at threads.
Care instructions: We recommend that fleece products are washed at 30 degrees Celsius (cold setting). Chins have sensitive noses, so we use white vinegar instead of laundry detergent. Fleece dries quickly, so air drying is best. We also recommend using a lint roller on your fleece products to take up any excess chinchilla fur. This will help keep their pillows or hammocks fresh in between washings.
N.B. Most chinchillas don’t get much joy out of chewing fleece. It doesn’t fray as other fabrics do. They might try a few test nibbles, but then they’ll give up and find something else (safe!) to chew. However, if your chinchilla is a Fleece Chewer then for their safety and your own peace of mind please remove all fleece products. Please do check your fleece products often for any signs of chewing.
