Abstract: A portable bed for a small animal has an elongated center section of rectangular configuration. A rounded end section is hinged to each elongated side of the center section. Rigid sidewalls extending in the same direction perpendicularly from the short edges of the center section and rounded edges of the end sections define an enclosed area. The rounded end sections are dimensioned to give a nesting relationship between the sections when they are folded toward each other. The sides of the bed opposite the sidewalls may be equipped with resting knobs to maintain the bed a short distance from the floor when it is in use. A handle connected to the outer sidewall (when the bed is in folded position) enables the bed to be carried readily. A cushion substantially coextensive with the surface provided by the center and end sections completes the assembly.
