Fancy a comfy bed for your floof? I am sure they will love this. ❤️❤️

The corner basket is made of double layers of fleece. To ensure the chinchilla wouldn’t be chewing on the edge of the fleece, I experimented with different methods of sewing. As a result, all the items sold in my store are seamless and you won’t find any edge. 🥰

Regarding the size, the photo may makes you think the hidey is too small. Yet, it is not true. It can fit a chinchilla without any problem (my chin is just stretching himself in the photo 🤣) It is 16cm tall with a diameter of 12cm.

Why is seamless so important❓ This is because it may pose risks to chinchillas. If seams are accidentally exposed, the chinchilla may trip over the thread and get hurt. It is not something we would like to see. Many chinchillas have to undergo amputation surgery for this particular reason.

If you know about rodents, you have likely heard about them getting to know about the world by chewing things. More so than any other rodents, chinchillas are prone to chew everything they see. This is why most fleece product in the market is not suitable for chinchillas, including those for Guinea pigs. Most of the products for Guinea pigs, if not all are filled with foam or other materials for firmness. However, this is not safe for chinchilla. Chinchillas can decide they want to chew up their hut out of nowhere. They can suffer from bloating or something even worse if they ingest the foam. This is why we should only use anti-pill fleece inside their cage. 🙌🏻

For extra sturdiness (to compensate for the firmness lost from not being able to use other materials), I use grommet or fleece strips for most of my products. I try to keep the product in shape without putting chins at risk.

I hope your floof enjoys this hidey. Providing safe, comfy and aesthetic accessories brings me great pleasure. 🥰🥰
