If you have taken on the adventure of owning a ferret as a pet, you have certainly taken into consideration the fact that there will be basic materials you need to keep your pet safe and healthy.  Besides a cage, you will need to supply some type of proper ferret bedding material for your pet ferret to sleep upon.  The standard metal cage comes with metal grating across the bottom which is anything but inviting at nap time.  Ferrets can sleep an awful lot when they are not up and playing.  To keep them comfy and cozy you will need to get some type of soft, yet durable material to line the bottom of the cage.  Some people also put down a sheet of some type of solid material such as hard plastic to cover the metal bars.  Whatever your choose for bedding should be able to resist chewing and scratching.  In addition, regardless of what material you decide to use, you should perform regular safety checks to make sure that it is not getting damaged or eaten by your ferret.  If it has eaten any of the material, you should consult your veterinarian, as ferrets do not digest non food items very well.
