He weighs nothing. That and I used two sheets of kitchen roll, folded, so it's four sheets thick, really. And it's not even posh stuff, it will just be own brand recycled. Seems ok so far! No major damage, he's been playing in it today. x

i suppose its much safer than fleecey stuff
I will try it i think!
What can i use for the hammock arms (whatever you call em XD) string? or would i be better off digging out some ribbon?

[Sammybingo]

Try either . Ribbon seems good, the weight is slightly more spread out with it, but give string a go if it's handy. x

How about using a J-Cloth? like the bedding? that would be stronger than kitchen roll and would be ok if they had a little chew, you can get big packs in tesco for about 40p.

With some plaited string to make it more stable
