this video was very helpful i dont own a sewing machine and didn't really want to buy my boys hammocks when i could just make them! i ma going to try this later and hope it works!!
Thank you for sharing! I have chinchillas. 6 of them. And buying stuff for them gets expensive. When I’m reality I can make it for so much cheaper. That Hammock would cost me a dollar at most to make. Compared to stores selling it for 25. And I make wooden ledges for about 3 when stores sell Then for 20.
So cute! I have one question though. You said right sides of fabric facing each other so essentially the ferret will be sleeping on the wrong side? Just making sure 😊
Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention, I didn’t realize I said it wrong until now 🤦♀️, but you are correct, I should have said to put the wrong sides of the fabric facing each other. I’m so use to saying it the other way when I do regular sewing tutorials because after you sew it you flip the fabric right sides out. I’m gonna ry to redo this tutorial so it is correct.
Just an idea: You could also make the bottom piece of fleece a bit bigger and then cut a hole in the top so that the critters could snuggle down in there!
You definitely could, I would just keep an eye on it to make sure your babies don’t try to chew it, although some pets, especially rats and chinchillas will try to chew fleece too. It all depends on the individual animal, but yarn or twine would definitely work if it was thick enough 😊
I tried this for my guinea pigs, and I hanged it up with carabiner clips, but it wouldn’t hold the piggies up and just sunk to the ground. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks so much!!!
I’m sorry to hear your hammock didn’t hold your piggies. What kind of material did your use to make it? And if you want to you can send me a picture of it on Instagram or Facebook. then I can maybe see where the issue is. My IG and FB name is also FerretTails. I also have an email address, it’s myferrettails@gmail.com,
I used fleece fabric, but cutting up a fleece blanket should be the same. How far apart did you make the holes? I know for me, I have made the holes to far apart before and it made it turn out kind of weird 😂, but the sides curl up no matter how you space out the holes, fleece is a bit stretchy on the “wrong” side and it tends to cause the edges to roll in.
@@miccadickson4413 fleece will also stretch more in one direction than the other, if that makes sense. If you pull with both hands on the sides you will be able to tell which sides are stretchy and then cut the strips from the non-stretchy side, or you can always cut off the excess fleece at the end. I probably should have mentioned the stretchy part in the video 🤦♀️
@@FerretTails ok that makes sense I'm definitely gonna try again and make my ferret another one he seem to like it lol but thank you for answering my question 💜
They are shower curtain hooks. Their perfect for hammocks like this or hammocks that have grommets instead of straps. You can get them at Walmart, Lowes, Amazon and probably some other places. These are the ones I used for this hammock used shower curtain hooks to hang it. amzn.to/3lLURfL
I don’t feed raw, but if I had the time to dedicate to switching them to raw I would. My ultimate goal is to get them on a raw diet in the next few months.
It’s a Double Critter Nation, it works great for ferrets, but if possible I would try to get the Ferret Nation. Both the ferret and critter nation are pretty much the same except the space between the bars of the ferret nation is wider than the spacing between the bars of the critter nation and the bars on a ferret nation are vertical, so the ferrets can’t climb it!!! The double cage cost about $250 and you can get it from Amazon. The nation cages are made by MidWest.

Hi, they are technically shower curtain hooks, but they work great for hammocks. I attached a link to them. Sometimes you can get them at Walmart but often they’re sold out. amzn.to/3B9ELDd I have also used mini carabiners. You can definitely get those at Walmart. You get two them for around a dollar. There in the hardware section but I also add a link to see you can see what they look like. amzn.to/3HNetJy

this was so helpful.
Thank you for the no sew . I can't sew. I have no machine.

Instead of the black strips could one use twine or a thick yarn ect...?

@@FerretTails I will email you a picture.
Great job ! Can I ask what she used for the end pieces??
I made the fleece strips longer than they needed to be and then tied the extra in a knot and used shower curtain hooks to hang it. amzn.to/3lLURfL
wow these are great. Im going to make these for sure. What material are the strips
It’s Fleece
@@FerretTails sorry I meant the black strips
@@AL-ru3nk I actually used a piece of black fleece!
@@FerretTails I used a safety pin attached to the strips to thread the material through the holes...was so much easier and faster :)
That’s a great idea! I’m so glad it worked out
Did you use fleece blanket or just fabric I tried making one and it didn't go over very well lol
I used fleece fabric, but cutting up a fleece blanket should be the same. How far apart did you make the holes? I know for me, I have made the holes to far apart before and it made it turn out kind of weird 😂, but the sides curl up no matter how you space out the holes, fleece is a bit stretchy on the “wrong” side and it tends to cause the edges to roll in.
@@FerretTails yes I think I made it too far apart lol and maybe too small lol and I think I make the strip too long cuz it does stretch alot
@@miccadickson4413 fleece will also stretch more in one direction than the other, if that makes sense.

I have a ferret channel if you are interested
What are the hooks called

Do u feed raw diet? :)
I don’t feed raw, but if I had the time to dedicate to switching them to raw I would. My ultimate goal is to get them on a raw diet in the next few months.
What type of cage is it, and how much did it cost you?

How well do these hold up in the washer?
So far they have been ok. But I would dry it on low heat or hand it dry. Drying in high heat would do the most damage.
can someone help i can’t for the life of me find those hooks 😭 I don’t know what they’re called!
