Unboxing and First Impressions
We recently purchased a seagrass hammock for our bearded dragon, Toby. The packaging was simple, and the hammock itself was surprisingly lightweight. The color was a natural, light beige, quite different from the usual green ones we've seen.
The quality appeared varied; some hammocks looked more tightly woven than others. Some suction cups also showed signs of bending. This suggests some inconsistency in the manufacturing process.
Overall, the first impression was positive despite the minor imperfections. We were curious to see how Toby would react to this new addition to his enclosure.
Installation and Setup
Installing the hammock was relatively straightforward. The suction cups adhered well to the glass enclosure. We cleaned Toby's cage thoroughly before placing the hammock to ensure a clean and safe environment.
We carefully placed the hammock at a height suitable for Toby's basking needs. It was important to ensure it was securely attached to avoid any accidents.
While the suction cups held firm, it was important to ensure they were attached to a completely smooth surface; any residue or dust could compromise the grip.
Toby's Reaction and Usage
Toby initially seemed curious about the new hammock, cautiously exploring it before settling in. It seems like it is a comfortable place for him to relax and bask.
We observed Toby using the hammock for basking and resting. It appears to provide a secure and comfortable place for him to relax and sleep.
He seems to appreciate the texture and the height of the hammock, although further observation is needed to completely assess its practicality in the long run.
Final Verdict
The seagrass hammock provides a unique and appealing basking spot for Toby. The natural material seems comfortable, and the hammock’s design allows for good airflow. While there were some minor quality control concerns with the ones we looked at, the overall design is excellent.
The price point of $12.99 is reasonable considering the added enrichment it provides to the enclosure. We'd recommend this hammock to other bearded dragon owners looking to enhance their reptile's habitat.
Potential buyers should carefully inspect the hammock before purchasing to ensure the quality and secure attachment of the suction cups. Despite some minor manufacturing inconsistencies, this product proves a valuable and enjoyable addition to the bearded dragon’s setup.
