Ferrets are content to sleep in old t-shirts, sweaters, baby blankets, cut off pant legs, etc. These bedding items should be washed at least weekly to keep your ferret smelling fresh. Dirty bedding = stinky ferret.
It is best to stay away from any type of bedding that can produce dust, or can become moldy when wet. Ferret respiratory systems are very sensitive to these things.

If I use soft bedding for the ferret to sleep on can I use wood shavings for the litter tray?
Hi, i honestly do not recommend laying soft bedding in a ferret cage, they sometimes like to chop on soft things and most of the softer bedding is chewy as well which if they swallow it they will most likely get it lodged in their intestine and need emergency surgery. Pine bedding works the best, they find comfort in almost anything. iv seen my ferrets sleep on top of a stack of CD`s! 100% Pine bedding Is what i recommend. _______________________________________________ Pine bedding is dangerous to ferrets.
