Old dishtowel: Dishtowels are just naturally the right size for a ferret hammock. Tie a piece of string to each corner and then use the string to hang each corner to a part of your cage to create a little hammock area.
Fabric scraps and paper clips: Do you sew? Take a piece of old fabric and cut it into a square (or triangle for a corner hammock). Unfold enough paper clips to go on each edge (four for a square, three for a triangle). To unfold the paperclip simple pull one 'hook' upwards and keep the other one down. This will make a nice little hook you can use to attach to your cage. Then glue the smaller end of the paperclip to the corner of the fabric piece. Finish with the rest of the corners- and then hang your new hammock up!
Baby blankets: Light weight baby blankets are probably the easiest way to make a hammock. Because they use such thin fabric you can take all four edges and simple tie them onto the cage to create a perfect and super comfy hammock.
Sweatshirt hoods: If you have a really old hooded sweatshirt that you plan on throwing away, cut off the hood and keep it. You can either fold it to create a little 'nap sack' or, with duct tape, secure the part that was originally connected to the sweatshirt to the side of the cage to create a little 'hanging corner hammock' area.
