Lying stretched out, paws over the edge and sleeping soundly: that is what an afternoon looks like for a contented ferret or rat. The Duvo+ Carrot plush hanging bed is a soft, rectangular bed to hang up, with a cheerful carrot design. At 47 × 32 cm there is room to really stretch out. It gives your pets a cosy sleeping spot with a real nesting feeling.
Ferrets are champions at sleeping. They often sleep 14 hours or more a day and like to choose from different spots themselves. A hanging bed they can lie stretched out on suits that well. Rats use a hanging bed as a meeting place: lying together for a while, grooming and then setting off again. That makes it more than a bed; it is a fun raised activity.
Thanks to its rectangular shape, the hanging bed fits well along a long side of the enclosure. Hang it at a height your pets can reach easily. For rats you can hang it higher, near a level or ladder. For ferrets, hang it a bit lower or add a shelf as a step. Always put a soft layer of bedding underneath.
At 47 × 32 cm the hanging bed suits a group of two to three rats or one or two ferrets. For mice and gerbils it is too large; the smaller hanging spots from the Carrot series are nicer for them. Measure your enclosure before ordering, so the hanging bed can hang taut and securely.
Plush is soft, but not meant for chewing. Rats and ferrets are curious. So for the first while, check that they do not chew the fabric or swallow bits of it, and remove the hanging bed if you see that. Also check regularly for loose threads. Put bedding for ferrets under the bed or give your rats Zooply nesting material to snuggle into.
Yes, at 47 × 32 cm a ferret has plenty of room to lie stretched out. Two ferrets fit on it together too. Do not hang it too high, so your ferret can get onto it easily.
The large hammock is square (46 × 46 cm), this hanging bed is rectangular (47 × 32 cm). The hanging bed often fits better along a long wall. Both suit rats and ferrets.
Try different heights. Rats climb easily and like to lie high up. Ferrets prefer a lower spot. Always make sure there is a soft surface underneath.
Take the hanging bed out of the enclosure and shake it out well. Brush off loose hair and keep it dry. At the same time, check for loose threads or small holes.
Yes, that is recommended. Combine it, for example, with a hanging house or hanging tunnel from the Carrot series. That way your pets can choose between lying in the open and crawling away under cover.
