- DIY Cube Hammock for Ferrets, Rats and other Small Pets.
My ferrets love this cube hammock. As soon as I hung it in their cage they got in it and went to sleep. It’s not as hard to make as it looks like. You will need the following materials:
- sewing machine
- scissors
- thread
- pins
- ruler
- 6 pieces of batting or fusible interfacing cut into squares (my squares were 11” x 11”)
- 6 pieces of Fleece cut into a squares (my squares were 12” x 12”)
- 6 pieces of Cotton cut into squares (my squares were 12” x 12”)
- 4 straps or grommets. I used extra fleece as straps (my straps measured 10” L x 1”W)
- 4 hooks
The cube hammock is so soft and your ferrets, ferrets or other small pets can also sleep in the top of it. So in a way it has two spots for sleeping!

Amazing vídeo/tutorial!!!
thank you!!
I have made many of these. They are a bit more difficult than hammocks but they love them.
I agree, it is a bit hard than the regular hammock, but the minute I hung it up Lucy jumped in it and went to sleep lol. And when I went in to check on them later that night, they had drug their little blanket inside of it and were all snuggled up sleeping. It was so cute :)
@@FerretTails Awe thats too cute!
Awesome job!!! I wish i had your amazing ability to DIY!!!!
Checkers Furry thank you!

Cnoevo Auto Adventures thank you!!!
Cool
Awh it looks so cute and cozy. I watched the entire video even though I don’t have a sewing machine haha
Aww thank you! You could sew it by hand, but it may take a while lol.
Its possible by hand. Done it myself and worth it in the end.
@@LittlePaws18120 i can't seem to find a tutorial on how to do it by hand!
Yay ty
Me and my grandma are going to make these! 😁 im getting rats in a few month and im doing what ever i can to lower the price of everything because i have to pay for everything except for the cage and the rats! (Im getting them from a responsible breeder!) But ya thx so much for this tutorial!!!
Thanks for the video. X
Love your intro!
FinnickandPossum thanks l!
I loved it! Please make more diy hammock videos 🥰🥰🥰
Nanda Kinas thank you! I have a made a few other DIYs, I will definitely be making more. I don’t know if you saw my other DIYs, but if not here are some of them czcams.com/play/PLc1wV6XtW0vdBtdRCY4JgH2Bpc37yaz4N.html
@@FerretTails Thank you! I started learning how to handle the sewing machine because of your videos and I cant wait to put this knowledge into practice. I have three cute rats and they will love it!
Nanda Kinas you can definitely do it. I 💯 taught myself how to sew by watching CZcams videos. That was about 4 years ago, but there are some great tutorials on how to use sewing machines. Once I felt comfortable with my ability to do it, I bought a better sewing machine! My interest in sewing came from wanting to make stuff for my ferrets 😂.
The background music is annoying
Thank You so much, I'm going to do few for my chinchilla, a big one for my rabbits and cats. 🥰
Imma do this for my rats
Thank you so much for this video. Do you have a link where I could donate for you to get fabric or a coffee. This video showed me more than a pattern I recently purchased
Awwh the last frame where video ends melted my heart ❤️ ferrets are literally the cutest faces I know of 😅😊😊🥰🥰😍😌 I own rats 🐀 I really want them to have a cube hammock as buying it currently is too expensive for me the only thing I don’t own is interfacing 😭 I only have thin strip roll of it I also wonder how to make the bottom of the hammock more sturdy so when they get in it will not sink like we can see here 🤔
I love their little faces too 🥰. I have a regular Etsy customer who has two rats, one is hairless and they are so cute. I love when she sends me videos 🥰. Their so smart.
As for the stabilizer, I am in love with fusible fleece (Pellon 971). I use it between the two layers. I use it with all the items I sell in my Etsy shop. According to Pellon it’s safe, from what I have found they say “ "Our fusible coatings are all non-toxic."
If you don’t want to use fusible fleece, try quilt batting, the thicker the better the shape will be. But also the thicker, the harder it will be to sew.
For the bottom, I make a square pad with solid fleece and out a layer of uhaul in the middle. Then I stick it in the hole of the cube so it just lays on the bottom. That really helps the bottom be more sturdy. I make the pads in my Teepee tutorial if you wanted to see how I made it. czcams.com/video/3wH5yRhB25A/video.html
This is soo cute, is this laundry safe? I have some older rescue rats that are not at all litter trained 🐀
Yea, you can absolutely wash it! I have washed mine a million times since I made this video and it’s still in good shape and the ferrets love it!
Do you have to use the batting?
Alicia Vaughan no, you don’t have to use it. The main reason I use it is to help keep the shape so the cube stays a cube. You could just use the fabric or you can also use iron on fusible fleece from the craft store or Walmart to hold the shape.
How much time does it take u to make this?
It takes about 30 minutes or so now. But it use to take longer. Ive made so many at this point, that I’ve gotten faster at it.
Please do a video on how to make a round tube hanging bed like the square ones, but the round top circle is 12 in. & bottom circle 12 with the side is 36 in. long by 12 wide with entrance whole in the center need to see how to sew the whole thing together from start to finish please I'm just learning this to save money & I love your videos, it's not a tunnel bed instead of a square cube bed it's round bed with the entrance hole in front like the club bed not a tunnel bed
Hi Kathy, just m glad you are enjoying the videos. I did a tunnel hammock back when I first started my channel. Although that one does not have an entrance hole in the top center. I linked that video below, but I will work on doing another video for a tunnel hammock with the hole in the top center!

Easy to follow instructions thanks. But your voice volume and music volume are terrible. Barely can hear you and the music blasts.
I expected jojo fans here ;-;
