I am about to launch a new website selling hammocks etc and would like some feedback on some of my stock.

I've advertised them in the classifieds - Ferret/Rat/Mouse/Hamster Hammocks and Cage Sets.

What does everyone think, and if you were looking for a custom cage set what would you like in it and expected retail price?

Many thanks for your input.

Thanks

My guys eat hammocks so I tend to make my own, its a lot cheaper

Those look a lot like the ones I make, I sold some for charity at £5 each for Freddy 2 size. A couple of very very well made hammocks I bought some time ago for £10 each and are the only ones not chewed. But they were a lot thicker.

I've taken into account the chewing and used thicker webbing, strong polycotton fabric, double fleece all quilted and sewn around edge to try and stop burrowing, and added lots of exit holes in hammocks.

I have found with my own rats cubes etc tend to get killed the fastest.

Oh yeah, anything like tunnels or so on got chewed within a day or two...they do so like to make their own exits and entrances

They look excellent Cluedo, I wish I could make hammocks that look that good. Do either of you find that girls chew more than boys, or is it just my lot who are naughty girls.

Nope my girls don't chew at all. The boys on the other hand are monkeys. I reckon they just like to do it so they can pad the wee shelf they like to sleep on ... ewwww lol

Only three of my boys chew but they are particularly naughty little monkeys, some woman from called Nim brought them to me and I think their former owner (the lady who had rescued them) had trained them to be particularly cheeky and generally mischevious

I find the boys are far too lazy to chew, the girls on the other hand are terrible. I now use mainly double and triple hammocks and the chube hammock (with added side exits) and they live. They have never chewed the webbing.

TDM - I think I know the lady who brought up your babies... she told them to be good but they didn't listen

They certainly sound like the same boys, they dont listen to me either .

You just wait until you get ferrets.... they have very selective hearing.

Good thing is ferrets don't destroy their hammocks!
