If you own a ferret, you know that they love to play and relax, and there is
no better place for them to do so than in a fleece hammock. Ferrets are lovable
animals that come in many different breeds, and get along great with children
and other pets. They also adore the company of other ferrets, and a hammock
provides a comfortable place for several of them to nap and lounge around in. My
ferret's hammock is now the only place that he will sleep.
A fleece hammock is a must have accessory for any ferret's home, and the
installation of one could not be any easier. They come equipped with 4 clips
that easily attach to the top of their cage. These clips are at the end of
straps that connect to each corner of the hammock. The hammock itself is usually
made of fleece, cotton or soft cotton webbing. In my experiences, I have found
that my ferrets love the fleece more so than the cotton, or cotton webbing. Your
ferret will become accustomed to its new hammock rather quickly, but it is a
good idea to place some extra bedding underneath it so it can easily climb in
and out of it.
Ferrets spend approximately 14 - 18 hours of their day sleeping, so a
comfortable place for them to sleep is definitely important. When your ferret is
not sleeping though, it will be very active. They love being released from their
cage, and when they are out they love to express their inherent curious nature
while getting plenty of exercise. Their exercise will primarily consist of hide
and seek type of games, in which the ferret and owner attempt to find each
other.
Ferrets also have a very strong nesting instinct which means that they bring
small items and pieces of food into their hiding spots. It is not uncommon for a
ferret to "steal" the same item repeatedly, so don't be surprised if something
keeps going missing, its just playing! They do this because of the attachment
they commonly form to certain objects.
After all this exercising it is not hard to see why a fleece hammock will become
your ferret's new best friend. It will be crawling into it after a long day of
playing, and will be well rested for another day of playing when it wakes up
without a doubt.
