Ferrets fall under the category of creatures that sleep for many hours a day. Sleeping for 16 to 20 hours is the norm for them. They are energetic, and to compensate for that, they need hours of rest and sleep to gather energy again. But even if they sleep a lot, they don’t stay asleep for many hours at a time. Ferrets wake up from time to time to take a break from sleeping. Therefore, it is important to buy something that can relax their body and give them a good, deep sleep, such as one of these comfortable ferret hammocks.
The reason we are recommending hammocks is because we have observed how much our ferrets love to sleep on them. I believe it is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your ferret.
Fortunately, we have many different types of hammocks today, both closed and open. It is suggested that you try a few different kinds of them so that you can see which one of them your pet prefers the most and finds more comfortable. They are relatively inexpensive, often easy to attach to your cage, and we’re sure you will find one that you need from this list below.
