This Step by Step Small Animal Hammock DIY is not as hard to make as it seems. My ferrets love the teepee style hammock. They got in it before I could even get it fully hung in their cage. I have included a list of materials and measurements below, along with links to some of the materials used to make this small animal hammock.

If you don’t sew and would like to purchase a teepee hammock or other small animal hammock, toys or cage liners, stop by FerretTails on Etsy. Teepee hammocks will be added to the shop after January 1st 2021. https://www.etsy.com/shop/FerretTails
