Back in 2007, a member on the Rat Shack started the Secret Santa fun. Those who participate, are assigned names and we put together a gift for our giftee. This year, my gifter commissioned my sister and the Cozy Corner to make a brand new type of hammock. Nic took this opportunity to finally create something I’ve been bugging her about for some time. I live in a triplex, a building I co-own with my parents and my sister. We all Iive in this triplex and we’ve called it the original Rat Shack since we all love and rescue rats. I wanted a hammock that reflects the triplex. Well, she did it. And it was made for me, paid for by Ratty Momma a member on the Rat Shack. I was shocked, floored and completely amazed at the size of this thing. It’s perfect, it’s exactly how I envisioned it. I knew Nic could do it… she is so creative and wonderful with her sewing machine.
What do my rats think of it? They love it! When I first put it in the cage, they were all over it, they wouldn’t stop exploring every bit of it. It’s perfect from top to bottom. The bottom part hangs on the ground, perfect for oldies. The top part opens to the CN shelf, perfect to just walk right in. But the middle part, the agile rat, simply lifts himself into it…making a private nest, big enough for a buddy or two or three.
The pics!
And a video… you can see just how great this thing is. And don’t worry, Nic will be making these now. Visit the Cozy Corner!
