Does your chin use their hammock?

[suzi1780]

I have never seen any of my chins sleeping in their hammocks, how about you do you see your chin sleeping in their hammock?

Flea never used his. He just crossed through it if it got in his way.

I catch Riku in his all the time.

Whenever I clean cages I see poo in all of the hammocks, so even if I don't necessarily see the chinnies in their hammock, I know they periodically use them.

my chin never spends any noticeable time in her hammock. I do find poo in it, so I know she's been in it, but I've never actually seen her in it.

I have not seen her in it since the day I got it. But I do find poo in it all the time.

I find my chins in their hammocks all the time. Sometimes two together and on rare occasion, three are in one together. My girls absolutely love their hammocks.

Most of mine will use it, and sleep in it all the time. Mog hasn't really figured it out yet, and now that we have had him about a year, I'm not too confident that he will. Maybe if we can get him to be friends with one of the other boys, they can teach him how! lol.

Mine hidesuinder it between the shelf and the bottom of it. I've never seen her go on it, but I find poo in it. I just assumed it was kicked up in the hammocks when she runs around.

Bear is the only one out of all my chins that uses the hammock. They all have hammocks in their cage but most are just there for decoration I guess. Well..Moose does use his corner hammock but only if it is right on top of a wooden shelf, so technically it's just sort of a pillow....

i've seen one girl spend a good chunk of awake time in her hammock. haven't caught the other 2 yet, but find evidence on a regular basis.

I think most of my chins use their hammock on a regular basis. They all have hammocks and most have tubes as well. I have a couple that don't bother with the tubes.

This is Nemesis in her hammock.

Pinball practically lives in her hammock! The others I occasionally catch using them or I find the evidence they leave behind.

 

[Ilovemychin]

My chin ruby i in her hammock ALL THE TIME! But she won't touch her fleece tube.

Phoenix used to use hers all the time but then stopped all of a sudden. Sedona loves her hammock and tube. Phoenix prefers her hidey house over everything.

My chinnies love their hammocks, but just not all the time. I think it depends on their moods, but I see them in there quite often. It took them some time at first to warm up to them, but once they did, it's been good for them.

Mine wouldn't use them at first. What made the difference was me putting a piece of cardboard across the top of their cages. Someone pointed out to me when I first got chins that their biggest fear in the wild is from overhead predators (hawks and such) and that they felt much safer if they knew they were "under cover". Once I put the cardboard across the top, viola. Total relaxation in the cage!

 

[Ilovemychin]

Oh my goodness! I will have to try that! Great idea

 

[saphire]

all off my chins use em.

 

[Jazicat]

So far I've only found evidence that Edgar has been in his slings but I never see him use it.

Kara that pic is sooooooooooo cute!! I might have to try the cardboard idea
