Highlighted Reviews

"Loves it"

β€” Melissa

"My sweet little 9 yr old ferret won’t use this. The inside lining isn’t secured and she digs in all her beds. So the fleece circle comes out and it’s a nylon lining that she doesn’t like."

Bottom Line

While generally comfortable and spacious, be cautious about potential durability issues. This bed is suitable for ferrets who enjoy hanging out and cuddling, but keep an eye on any suspicious material integrity.
