I will say, before you get started, you may want to check with who you plan on giving them to.
Getting the sizes and the knit tightness and all that correct is going to be important so they keep proper warmth level and won’t get their little beaks and feet stuck in a looser knit. With them being functional items rather than decorative, the little details are more significant.
Also we’re nearing the end of bird season, so I know we have a huge pile of them right now and we’re using less of them each week. They do get changed out a lot and we wash them with lots of bleach, so I’m not sure their actual life span though. When we get too much of things, we need to find ways to store things, which becomes its own issue.
I found these too, if you sew as well. The little hammocks are also something we use a lot for squirrels and the tiny oppossums. Again, I’d check for actual need and learn how they attach them to cages so it’s something they have a use for and will work with their pens.

Awesome tips, thank you! I shall do some research and get in touch with some rescues to see what they need.
I kind of know how to sew, but also not really 😅. I love learning new things though. That hammocks looks SO cute.
Of course! I didn’t want anyone to waste time or money if there isn’t a need for stuff.
The hammocks are great and the animals love them. The flying squirrels will load up all the holes with food to create secret stashes.
