I was watching my six ferrets all curled up on top of each other in their hammock and I wondered who first had the brilliant idea to give a ferret a hammock? How long has the hammock been in use as a ferret accessory? My six will often curl up in the hammock in preference to their sleeping box with all the bedding - even in the middle of winter when it would be much warmer in their box.
