I was in a PetCo this weekend and saw a pretty neat ferret bed.  I'd
rather buy that sort of thing from a shelter or other ferret cause, so I
thought I'd see if anyone makes this kind of bed.  The bottom part of the
bed was basically a big puffy pillow, round in shape.  Then there was a
sort of soft loose hood over the top of the pillow.  The idea is that the
ferret can be all cozy on the pillow and have privacy/additional warmth
from the hood.  A picture being worth a thousand words, it was I think
this item:

(sorry if that's too long--it's the Petmate Burrow Bed, listed at
Petco.com under ferrets/toys and accessories/accessories)

I think the hood part is a little too small--if I were a ferret, I'd want
it to come down all around the pillow.  Plus I have two 3.5-4.0lb boys,
and the hood doesn't look quite big enough to cover both of them at the
same time.  I like solid jeweltone colors or animal prints (the ferrets
tell me they have no preference).  So if there's anybody out there who
makes something like this, drop me a line!
