Pigloos/Hidey's: Anyone have directions for a tent?

[Chloe1991]

I want to make a tent, like a cuddle cup but with a top. Chloe won't use a sack but I want something that they can get into and keep warm if it gets cool. They use a wood hidey sometimes but I would like one to switch it up sometimes. I have looked on the forum and can't find directions.
I CANNOT BUY. I found a ferret forum that gave alot of hammock directions but no tents there either.

Take a scrap of fleece or a towel. Depending on the length and size, you'll want to tie or clip one corner of it to one of your corner grids, and the other same-side corner of the fabric to the perpendicular grid. Voila, instant tent in the corner!

Sometimes I'll hang a piece of fleece straight down from the sides of the corners (I have lots of scraps) to give them even more privacy.

Another way is to attach a grid to the top of a corner (or even in the middle, but that makes it harder to stay stable, and is just about impossible if you don't use the connectors), and then use a larger piece of fleece or a towel to drape over it and clip onto the top grid with clothespins or binder clips to create a cozy "room."

Otherwise, I don't know how to sew very well so I can't help you with anything more complicated than that!
