  Step 1

  Lay your two pieces of fleece on top of each other, "right" sides facing in. (Not all fleece has a right or wrong side; just put the nicest-looking side in). Using the fabric scissors, cut them to size. 22 inches by 12 inches fits two small rats, but you can change the measurements according to your pet.

• 

  Step 2

  Pin the two pieces together. Sew almost all the way around the rectangle, leaving a small opening. Turn the rectangle inside out and sew up the opening.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the rectangle in half the short way. (You can leave about an inch of space un-overlapped at the top if you plan to hang the bag.) Make sure the color you want to show when you're done is on the INSIDE. Then sew up the two parallel sides, leaving the top open.

• 

  Step 4

  Turn the pocket inside out to see your adorable pet pocket! Fill with small, furry animals and enjoy.

• 

  Step 5

  Repeat! (I've made about eight pockets because rats have a penchant for destroying things.)

• 

  Step 6

  Optional: use safety pins to hang the pocket on their cage.

These are great and the babies are adorable. I have a miniature Albino-Sno Ferret and she would love tons of these. Especially, if I add some crackle fabric. I'm tired of spending $10-$20 bucks on bedding I toss after a month or so. Thanks so much for the upload. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and a Blast ringing in the New Year.

I have a hamster who is very small about an inch or two long, and I spoil her what do you thing her mesurements would be?

I think half size (using pieces 11 inches x 6 inches) would work well, or you could try 8 inches by 5 inches for a tiny one. If you want to make a tiny one I would either use just one piece of fleece or hand-sew it. Good luck!

I love your rats! I have 2 little girl rats right now. I love this idea so much! My boyfriend, Benjamin, crochet some stuff for our rats.
