General Making a hanging bed?

[madelineelaine]

I want to make my pigs a hanging bed for the cage, but I'm not sure what to use for the straps so that it's strong enough?

Do you guys find your pigs actually like them or would it be a waste of fleece?

Excuse my ignorance, but what in the world is a hanging bed? I have never beard of those, only hammocks. Perhaps if you posted a picture I would understand.

There are the little metal things that a lot of people seem to use. I can't find a pic of one on a hanging bed, but here is a pic on a hammock... Floral Hammocks Snugglie Bag for Rats Sugar by SweetTeaScraps
You should be able to find at a craft store. In that link, if you click to the back side pic you get a better view of it.

I have a feeling they would use a hanging bed, probably more so than a hammock, since it would be more enclosed and cozy. If they don't like it hanging, you still have something you can just place in the cage, so I think give it a try. Post pics when you are done

I just found this tutorial. Not sure if that's what you meant, but it looks pretty cool.
