Medium size: Pet rat loves it already
I have a very large male rat who in just one day has taken to eating and napping in and on top of it.
**Update** xl size added: now have 3 full size adult male rats who love both hammocks. Got the extra large one because we have one really fat rat and when he gets in the medium with everyone, someone ends up hanging half out or is shoved completely out the opposite side. The xl is more than enough for several rats but its also great for covering the distance between the end of a shelf in the ferret nation to the opposite wall, so excellent for preventing old guys from falling. BTW make sure you look at the product dimensions and not the packaging dimensions when deciding which size.
I was concerned at first when I saw that only the inner material was fleece but after 4yrs of owning the medium hammock, I can say they have not chewed it up like other hammocks & tunnels. It's easy to was and dry without furthering and chewed up parts and I really like that I can remove the clips before washing so as to not have to worry about rust. There is some slight fraying but so far there haven't been any long threads or anything else they could get their feet caught in. There is no filling between the outer and inner layer, often filling here will cause them to rip it apart so they can rearrange it.
*update* my guys are chewing on it but not too bad, both medium and large are holding up well. Also realized medium is perfect size to set up in cat carrier for vet visits and the large because of the multiple layers it's perfect for creating something for them to climb down halfway between levels of a ferret nation midwest cage or something of a similar layout. Plus it's the only soft thing they haven't tried to completely chew apart (just a little chewed areas along one or two sides). Plus these are easy to wash.

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Ferrets, rats and chinchillas all love to curl up in a cozy, elevated bed. They love to stay busy and they like to sleep. Fortunately, there is one way to satisfy both of these habits: a hammock! It gives them a place to hang out and something new to look at - and play with.
Why should you pet own one?
Gives them a place to climb
Small animals like a climbing challenge. And hammocks provide them with one. You can set up your hammock so it takes a little work for your rat to climb into it. And once he’s in it, the swinging motion can make movement more difficult. Your rat may enjoy the challenge of climbing in and out of the hammock. It’s a form of enrichment and can keep him busy while you’re away.
Provides a place to sleep
Small animals like to sleep in high, closed-in spaces.Your pet can sleep soundly in a hanging hammock. And it’s much easier to clean than a nest box.
Saves space
You hang it from the top of the cage, it takes up no space. Your rat can run and play on the floor without having a large obstacle blocking his path.
What You Should Know About Hammocks
Types of Fabric
Your pet might prefer plushy fleece or thin nylon. Hammocks are made of several types of materials. Be sure to find one that’s made of his preferred choice.
Suspension
Some hammocks resemble real, human hammocks very closely. You can attach the two corners of it to the corner if the cage so the center has a little stability. or you can suspend some hammocks from the top of your cage, allowing for more movement. But which is better for your pet? It’s hard to say. You need to know what your pet likes. If he’s more into cuddling up in a corner, the first option is best. However, a pet who likes to climb and has an adventurous side would prefer one that moves more.
Shape
Hammocks also come in a variety of shapes. Some are circular, while others are square. You can find ones shaped like houses and others shaped like tunnels. The shape does matter because your rat may prefer sleeping in one shape over another. Consider the size of your pet and how he likes to sleep. If you find him sleeping in a ball, a circular hammock might be suitable. But a pet who stretches out his full length might prefer one with a long, rectangular shape.
Precautions
Please check regularly for signs of chewing and replace when necessary.
Features
SOFT & COMFORTABLE: Made of cozy soft fleece lining, an ideal place designed for your little friends, safe and warm for them to sleep or play inside
FLEXIBLE: The four sturdy nylon straps with metal clips attaches easily to almost all wire-frame habitats
MACHINE WASHABLE: Easy care and maintenance; recommended for ferrets rats, sugar gliders and similar pets.

My Chinchilla loves this hammock sooo much and is always snoozing inside it!!! A size large is perfect for one chinchilla he likes to chill on top to keep watch (it's a canvas like material) and sleep inside (soft short fleece material) it's got nice opening so it's easy to get in and out of. I also like the pattern and color I hope they make more stuff with the same pattern to add to my cage. My only gripe is the strap clips they are nice quality just too big and makes it a bit difficult to unclip from the cage during cleaning but besides that it's great!!!

The quality of the hammock is really nice but it is smaller than I thought it would be. Only 1 male rat is able to fit in the inside (as you can see in the photos) but it could probably fit 2 or 3 females. Still, my boys really enjoy it, so I would just say if you plan to buy this for multiple boys then buy a couple! (:

Rattos got in and cuddled together within a few hours. I got the Medium size and it’s perfect for two adult rats (also hand for scale). Nice vibrant colors. Very soft on the inside. Top and bottom outside is a thicker material but I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up hanging out on top, too.Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020

I bought the first one (small, pink) for my two female rats. Usually, when i put it in their cage, there's at least one hole after 2 hours. This one, which I placed in their cage 4 months ago, is still untouched. They slept in and on it, I washed it, but they never destroyed it even a little bit!.
I then bought a large green one, which they destroyed in about 1 and a half month. Then I bought another small pink one. They did tear a few holes in it so they could go in between the fabrics. But usually they just keep doing it until it's unusable. Now they left it that way and sleep in it all the time! You can see them relaxing in it in my pictures, and you can see where they made the holes to sleep in.
It's soft, easy to wash, easy to place, move and remove, my rats love it, and so do I.
