I’ve been so exhausted and fallen out of my posting daily routine. My apologies.
Today I took a scrap piece of fleece and cut it into one continuous strip then crocheted it into a bowl shape. This washable bed will hopefully become Harvey the rat’s favorite place to sleep. Pet accessories are so expensive which makes DIY projects like this all the more exciting when the work out as planned. Plus I find DIY things hold up better over time. I hope Harvey likes his new pet bed!
Be well.
(edit to add: Fleece is one of the few trusted fibers for small pets in case ingestion occurs. Always avoid cotton and be mindful of fraying.)

So cute! My guinea pig would LOVE it! Guinea pig owners usually call items like that “cavy cozies” or “cuddle cups”.

Oh, nice! I really need to figure out how to get my cat a pet bed.

Great idea & nice job! You’ve got to take a pic of Harvey snuggled up in this sleepy-bowl.
