To make this bridge I used all natural Jute string a 5.5mm crochet hook. I made the stitches VERY tight so that Tims little paws wouldn't get stuck in any gaps, this took quite a bit of effort as the Jute string is very stiff.
SC- Single Crochet
Chain 14 (or as many needed to made the bridge wide enough)
Row 1: SC in each chain along, turn
Row 2 - 35: SC in each stitch along, turn (add or decrease the amount of rows to create a longer or shorter bridge)
Finish off.
Tie a length of string to each corner of the piece to make supports and hang securely in the cage. To make the supports stronger I used two pieces of string in each corner and tied the pieces together all the way along.
Safety!
- Only use materials that are safe for a hamster.
- Make sure there are NO gaps for little feet to get caught in.
- Don't hang the bridge too high from the ground and make sure there is lots of soft bedding beneath the bridge in case the little one falls off.
- Check the bridge regularly for signs of chewing, if chewing has occurred remove the bridge.
VERY GOOD !!! thanks you !! :O
