So I've seen and heard about people making covers for the Ferret Nation shelves. I'm having a hard time figuring out if you cover the plastic cover and the shelf together, or if people are removing the plastic cover and just sliding a cover on the metal shelf. Also how would you connect the ramps if fleece is covering the edges?
Hopefully that makes sense ;D

I think it depends on which shelf you have. There are two different types. One in a pan that sits on a metal rack. Kinda like the main floor pans.
The other is a thin sheet of black that fits into a metal rack. Does that make sense?

The pan just sits on top, but its not a metal grate like on the bottom floors, it's more open.

They've really changed those from the ones that I have. I just use pillow cases (I'm lazy  ) That won't work for these ones  ciao |

This what I've been using. This is a sleep blanket I made years ago,it works perfectly with the new shelves. The sleep blanket was easy to make just figure out the size you want,sew the seam and voila a shelf cover. Both ends are open,slip the pan shelf in and press it back down on the wire rack. Very easy and works great ;D And if you use fleece the ends won't need finishing. My sleep blanket measures 18.5"x22.5"(finished size) that doesn't include the seam allowance.  |

I was going to be all crafty and make actual covers but when it came down to it it was much easier to cut/fold the fleece to size and just lay it on top of the shelf and tuck some of the extra under the shelf. Remus has been fine with that but he's weirdly mellow about pretty much everything.

You can also get pillow case style covers. They have an opening in the back that allows the brackets to slip through:  |

I use a pillowcase on the plastic pan and when you put it on the wire frame, then fabric just compresses and it stays on there nicely. . The ramps connect with tabs to the frame beneath the tray, so no proba there either |

Not sure if this is the thread for this or if it would be better off in the crafts section, so move me if need be Anyways i was wondering about knitting the cage accessories? I have a sewing machine but i'm lucky if i can sew two pieces together in a straight line Lol But I can knit I was thinking it would be fun to knit up some sleep sacks, hammocks, ramp covers ect i was thinking of either kitchen cotton or baby stuff (simple, soft, durable and washable) However, I was a bit worried about little fuzz butt claws getting caught in the yarn. If I'm keeping thier nails trimmed would this be in issue? Can you think of any other issues i could have with knitting stuff as opposed to sewing fleecey stuff up? Thanks! |

Some like to chew textured materials more than smooth ones.
