While I need to get batteries for my camera for a hammock picture, I took a pic of Buddie on another of his favorite roosting spots, his Hide’n’Sleep bed which is conveniently next to his pellet cup so he can take a nap in the same position after chowing down some pellets. I know if Buddie could talk, he would recommend this bed for other bunnies.  The bedspread has Super Pet’s animal friends print and the mattress is purple fleece – all nontoxic materials including the stuffing, although he doesn’t nibble any part of it.  He does spend a lot of time perched and napping on it.

He would be the first to agree with you, on both counts! Thanks for the compliment.

Finally snapped the little bugger in his hammock, although in this picture not all of the hammock frame can be seen.  To answer your question, the fabric part of the hammock itself measure 16″ long x 10″ wide.  Your Flemish giant might hang over the sides a bit! although I don’t offhand know how large a Flemish Giant measures.  But knowing the measurement of the cloth and that the frame measures 21″ x 14″ will probably tell you whether your rabbit would fit.  Buddie not only likes to nestle in the hammock, he loves to twine in and out of the frame like a little tunnel for him.  As you can see, I plenish it with hay.  Ozbo Pet Supplies probably has the best deal on this hammock, whether through amazon.com or just through the pet store themselves and delivery should be quick.  Happy holidays, hope your bunny would fit!

By the way, Ozbo’s number is: 866 601-5616 8:30 – 5 Eastern Time and the Paws’n’Relax hammock is listed at Ozbo as “Ferret Hammock Assortment – Medium” You might want to ask them if they carry a large version of this hammock for your Flemish that might be even more suitable. The cloth I got from them is fleece on one side, canvas on the other, machine washable to 30 degrees C.

This may give you a better idea of the size of the hammock in relation to my rabbit who weighs 2.6 lbs. measures about 12″ long lying down, although the picture was taken thru the pen wall.

Thank you, Jerseygirl, for the nice compliment.  I just wish Buddie would let me brush through his colouring with my new Hairbuster.  I got the Ultra T with the tightly spaced tines and tried to brush through a mat in his undercoat and he freaked.  Now when I just touch him with that comb, he panics that he’s going to feel hurt and barrels away from me through his tunnel.  I should have been more patient and lifted the comb away when I saw that there was a mat.  I hope I got the right kind of comb.  Bunnytowne has the Ultra and likes it for combing through Princess Ruby’s long hair, she’s also a lionhead like Buddie. I probably should have gotten the Ultra.

Neigey looks nice and comfortable on his wooden logs.  He’s probably grateful to you that he isn’t on wire flooring.

By the way, Ozbo Pet Supplies web address is Ozbo.com You might find it easier to email them than to call them from New Zealand.

The answer is, I DON’T get anything done all day, or haven’t been,…just barely lol His pen is right next to my computer and so I can keep an eye on him, and do!  …Thanks for the compliment, your little Shelby sounds like a cutie, too.  I was just at the gate of Buddie’s pen, giving him petting attention and as much brushing as “the traffic will allow” if you know what I mean.  I have to be very very gentle when I’m brushing him with the hairbuster as it grabs at the fur and if there’s a mat, he’s outta there!  I want to keep his trust and just go about it gently even though the first few times I brushed him more  vigorously it caught an awful lot more hair in the tines.  But I think it’s best to be patient and just groom him with what feels comfortable to him, and keep him on my side and enjoying the brushing. Although I have a feeling he merely tolerates it, and much prefers my hand petting him than dragging the comb through his hair!

Buddie is in his hammock again, and I had my camera.   In case you can’t make out Buddie in my “wall” pic, here’s a better one. 

Jerseygirl, did you ever get the hammock for your Flemish giant  Are his measurements small enough to sit on it?

Ooops – Sorry, Jerseygirl! I thought that was your wall display next to Lillika’s question about the hammock. Maybe it’s time to have my vision checked. LOL Sorry for the confusion. I think you’re right about Lillikal, thanks. I just wondered if Lillika’s Jasper has his hammock yet. Lillika, are you listening?

Tootsie Roll! What an adorable name, is that her posed with your little one? They’re both cuter than this world! I’m glad Tootsie Roll likes her hammock. Let me know if you catch her sleeping in it as well. And try to get a picture!
