I was thinking I could use a milk jug cut on a diagonal edges smoothed and hung by handle on the side of the cage.I would then add fleece squares for comfort and ease of cleaning. So my question is has anyone done this before and would the milk jug be safe to use?

I will try to take a pic of my latest creation. Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Leela Marcie Fiona, Dot, Stewie Dad, Mom, Ruby Wish I could turn back time... Miss you all...

Mine don't sleep in this, I use it as a foraging place for now. The inside is full of fleece blankets. It's easy to wash, I just swish it in clean dish soap water, and hang upside down in shower or outside. Is this what you had in mind? BTW, to Glider Central!
