The Niteangel is the hammock I currently use for my chinchilla. My chinchilla is a female, so I chose to go with the purple option. This hammock is currently offered in purple, brown, and tan.

This hammock is 16 inches across the bottom, 12 inches across the top, and 12 inches deep.

I actually made a quick video reviewing and showing you the Niteangel chinchilla hammock. Watch it for a little behind the scenes look into my chinchilla’s cage with her favorite hammock.

Keep In Mind

Keep in mind the dimensions we mentioned previously about this specific hammock. It’s slightly larger than other hammocks, which can require more space inside your chinchilla cage.

It’s one of the reasons I always recommend a large enough cage. If you need further information about choosing the proper chinchilla cage size, you see my post here. You can also review my top chinchilla cage recommendations here.

Overall

Other chinchilla owners in forums, social communities, and even in the product reviews, tend to love it. I personally love this chinchilla hammock as well.

My chinchilla doesn’t necessarily use it daily, but she does use it often and does sleep inside it, when she’s not sleeping inside her nesting box. Out of all the hammocks I tried, this one was my favorite, which is why it is the one I still use.

 

#2: Alfie Pet Mallory Hammock

Pros:
  • Easy clips for installation
  • Easy clean (can be hand washed or machine washed)
  • Wide opening for resting
  • Excellent durable fleece lining
  • Affordable

The Alfie Pet Mallory chinchilla hammock is another top hammock to consider for your chinchilla. It comes offered in two sizes: small and medium.

It’s also offered in two different colors. It measures 9 inches long by 9 inches wide.

Keep In Mind

Always keep in mind that chinchillas like to chew.

Any time you place a hammock like the Alfie Pet in your chinchilla’s cage, you want to keep watch, to ensure your chinchilla isn’t chewing and ingesting the fabric.

Use other alternatives to stimulate your chinchillas chewing and to allow it to grind its teeth. Lean towards chinchilla safe toys and always avoid other items such as chinchilla salt licks.

Overall

This hammock ranks #2 in my book. I’m a massive fan of using fleece for chinchillas. I use it for bedding and to cover the ramps in the cage.

 

#3: SEIS Love Pattern Hammock

4.5
$17.99 ($17.99 / Count)
Pros:
  • Unique and decorative
  • Soft velvet for comfort
  • Can be used for play or sleep
  • Straps are less accessible for your chinchilla to chew
Cons:
  • Not as sturdy, using only 2 clips for attachment to cage
  • Stray material enticing additional chewing
  • Could get hot if your room is not at ideal temperatures

This hammock is suited for 1 chinchilla. It comes in three different sizes.

  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large

It’s also one of the more stylish options you can choose.

Keep In Mind

The last con I mentioned in my list is the one to always be careful of. This specific hammock has an enclosed roof or top.

You must be careful that you don’t have a room that’s too hot for your chinchilla. An enclosed hammock could add to the risk of overheating.

Overall

I like this hammock option. I think it’s stylish, and I personally like the fact that its enclosed, as long as you keep the room cool enough.

It helps to keep your chinchilla from chewing the strap attachments, which is a positive. We all know how much a chinchilla likes to chew.

 

#4: Alfie Pet Kasey Triangular Hammock

4.0
$17.99 ($17.99 / Count)
Pros:
  • Stable, with 4 clips to mount to chinchilla cage
  • Fleece lining
  • Easy to clean
  • Comfortable and breathable
Cons:
  • Only suitable for 1 chinchilla
  • Not as thick a material as other options
  • Small straps

This another one of the colorful and stylish options you must dress up your chinchilla’s cage.

You can choose between green and pink; it’s one of the larger options you can select at 15 inches long and 15 inches wide.

Keep In Mind

This hammock is another hammock to be careful with, due to it having a relatively small enclosure area.

Overall

This model is ranked #4 in my book. It’s a stylish and sleek hammock that provides comfort for a reasonable price.

 

#5: Emours Small Animal Hanging Bed

4.0

  • Soft fleece
  • Durable
Cons:
  • Too big for some smaller chinchilla cages
  • Not technically a hammock

This hammock looks quite different than the other options. Emours calls it a hanging bed and that is perhaps a better description than a hammock.

But it’s still a hanging contraption in which a chinchilla can play or sleep. And it is designed to look like a loaf of bread! Plus it is super comfortable.

Keep In Mind

A large chinchilla cage is going to be required for this hammock due to the size.

If you need to read my review on a perfect option, see my post about the Critter Nation 2 Chinchilla Cage here. It’s the best chinchilla cage currently on the market.

Overall

An excellent hammock but only ranked #5 on my list for a reason. I prefer a true hammock, over this hanging bed style. That said, if you like the look, it is a great choice.

 

Do You Need A Chinchilla Hammock?

In all reality, you don’t have to worry about purchasing a hammock for your chinchilla.

I do, however, recommend it.

My chinchilla enjoys her hammock and uses it relatively frequently. Some chinchillas may not be the same way, but for the price you pay for the hammock, it’s worth trying.

It gives the cage some appeal and offers your chinchilla one more thing to do and 1 more alternative to sleep comfortably.

 

Other Things To Consider With Chinchilla Hammocks

I’m sure you could tell from reading this post that a few common concerns continue to arise with every hammock you can choose for your chinchilla.

Always ensure that you have a cool enough room where your chinchilla won’t overheat. Also, ensure your chinchilla doesn’t go on a chewing spree with the hammock. Outside of that, you are in good shape to try and of the 5 hammocks discussed above.

 

Best Chinchilla Hammock: Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, chinchillas do need specific items in their cage. A hammock isn’t necessarily a need, but it’s something I’d still put near the top of your list.

Chinchillas sleep a lot each day and giving them another easy method to sleep is never a bad thing. Regardless of which hammock you choose above, there is a good chance your chinchilla will love it.

Best of luck with your new chinchilla and best of luck testing and trying all the chinchilla accessories.

    I am planning on purchasing two socially bonded chinchillas. Do you recommend having two hammocks and nesting boxes? Should they be close to each other or with some distance? Thank you for any guidance!
