 Hi. I thought I'd buy my 3 degus a hammock yesterday. I noticed they started using it to sleep in. I woke up this morning to find they had bitten holes in it and the hooks had been taken off that secure it to the top of the cage! Has anyone else had this problem? Think it was a bad idea. Oh well!

Hehe, I´m happy my degus are not interested in chewing their hammock. I used a dishtowel as hammock. So it´s not very expensive if they decide that it may be yummy  |

Our 3 chewed through theirs in about 2 days! They really loved being in it for those 2 days! I don't think I'll be getting another one until they make it out of titanium!

Hi
We brought one and didn’t last them 5 minutes before they put a hole in it. Try getting the Critter cardboard tubes and attaching them to the top of the cage. Mine haven’t really destroyed them as much.

Somewhere I read that chinchillas don't chew hammocks, if they're made from synthetic material and it works for degus too, at least for mine. First I had given my degus cotton hammock and they eat it, then I've made polar fleece one and no problem.

I tried giving my degus hammocks, and they ignored them.  My chinchilla loves his. It's made of fleece, and he doesn't chew it at all. |
