Wondered if anyone has any experience making *wooden* hammocks for their chins?
One of my chins occasionally has the urge to nibble specific edges of his double/covered hammock. I’ve tried mending them using an invisible stitch, but maybe once a week he seems to fixate on that one specific area and work a small hole back in there again, which he seems to like to worry into something bigger once in a while. I don’t think he’s eating very much of it (I will sometimes find small bits hanging off which I trim off and then try to mend back again), but I’m thinking that hammock has to go. They've got plenty of toys around them to chew, but occasionally he wants something soft, it seems.
I'm considering using one of those bendy willow stick huts, turning it upside down, and hanging it with wire. I feel bad though because it’s clearly one of their favorite places to snuggle and sleep in the early morning. They’re always there when we come down in the morning. I think they enjoy having a cozy covered place to snooze, so I'm trying to figure out a way of replicating that without fabric. Do you think a seagrass mat would work as a roof? And would it be able to hold the weight of a chin in case one of them decided to jump on the top portion of it?
Did a search on here to try to find some advice, but the majority seems to have chins that don’t bother nibbling fleece… :hair:
