The elusive doll bed I wanted for the ferrets Christmas present was finally found today. So if I'm not the only one who thought that a doll bed might be an ideal Christmas present, here's what I came up with. First of all, it's more like a crib than a bed. That was the problem with most of the beds I looked at - a sleeping ferret would slip over the side. The dimensions are 17 inches long and 12 wide. The sides are 10 inches high, with the head & footboard 15 inches high. With a sleeping space of 12 X 17, it will hold 3 or 4 ferrets at once. Mine are only out 2 at a time though. The frame is all metal. That was another minus feature of some I saw, that they often had cardboard bottoms. Once the frame is assembled, a fabric cover slips over the head and footboard. The cover is pink printed nylon with mesh see-through inserts in the sides. I do plan to sew fleecy fabric over the nylon to make it more ferret cozy. The mfr is Kids Only, and it was purchased at the K B (formerly K-Bee?) toy store, which is a national chain. Box is predominatly bright pink and shows the bed with it patchwork heart print fabric cover. My ferrets are going to be sooooo happy on Christmas morning! Georgia - the left coast one...
