Today I will be reviewing some hammocks sent to me from Robyn's Rat Hammocks. Robyn sent me quite a generous selection of hammocks, including a cage set of 4 and several hammocks representing some of her other hammock types. Robyn sells 2 smaller sets and one large set, with the smaller sets being all the same fabric and consisting of either 3 or 4 distinct hammock types. The 3 piece set costs $20 (all prices include shipping and this comes down to $6.67 per hammock) and it consists of a double decker hammock, a standard hammock, and either a cube hammock or tunnel hammock. The 4 piece set costs $24 ($6/per hammock) and includes a double decker hammock, a cup hammock (basically a standard hammock with a bowl shape to the bottom), a tunnel hammock, and a cube hammock. And finally the large box set includes 15 hammocks made from various fabrics and costs $50 (just $3.33/per hammock!). Now the first set I reviewed was Robyn's 4 piece koala cage set. Like I wrote above this comes with a double decker hammock, a cup hammock, a tunnel hammock, and a cube hammock. All these hammocks were great quality, consisting of 2 fabric layers, having 4 metal grommets to hang them (with the exception being the cube which hangs from 4 fabric loops), and being a great size for multiple rats. I was especially exited to see that the tunnel hammock had 4 attachment points since the main issue with tunnel hammocks tends to be them staying closed when hung up, and having 2 extra attachment points took care of that and allowed my rats to use them without any extra modifications. I also really liked the cup hammock design, since I haven't seen this sort of hammock before and I found that the cup helped to stabilize the hammock so that no matter where I hung it in the cage it was balanced and appealing to my rats. Both the double decker hammock and cube hammocks where also amazing quality - I love the size of the double decker hammock in particular, and while the fabric loop hangers for the cube hammock aren't my favorite I found that they worked well to hang the hammock and my rats haven't tried chewing them so far (I've had the hammocks in the cage for about 2 weeks now). Moving on from the set the other hammocks Robyn sent me were also amazing quality. Like the set of hammocks all of these hammocks consisted of 2 fabric layers and were hung by 3-4 metal grommets for maximum stability and to ward off chewing. Along with a few same style hammocks to the ones in the set Robyn sent me 3 other types, and these included pocket hammocks (which are enclosed on 3 sides and have one side open like a pocket or envelope would - I hung these on the side of my cage and my rats apparently designated the bottom one as a food stashing and eating spot!), standard hammocks (like the cup hammocks but without the indent - very plush and cozy though and I was surprised to see my more skittish girls really take to sleeping out in the open in these), and corner hammocks (I really liked the size of these since it allowed me to actually stretch it across the corner of my cage and hang it in a stable place). All these hammocks shared the same level of quality as the set and my rats have been having a blast jumping from one sleeping spot to the next! Thank you so much to Robyn's Rat Hammocks for letting me review some of their hammocks - these hammocks are all amazing quality and priced incredibly. Considering how many commercial hammocks go for $10-15 even for the simpler hammock varieties its amazing to see Robyn selling sets including double hammocks and cube hammocks and more for so much less. If your looking for hammocks in bulk or even just looking for a smaller cage set I'd highly encourage you to check out Robyn's Rat Hammocks!
