<:3 )~ The Rat Stash- Hot Gifts for Cool Fuzzies

[Unepuce]

Have you gotten my order from December 29? I got the confirmation from the website, but haven't heard of you yet re: fabric availability. And since I used the gift certificate my boss gave me as a Holiday present, I am wondering if all went through ok?

@ Petunia: Thanks so much for sharing. She looks so pretty in her new hammock.

@ LilSpaz: Oh how wonderful. I had never heard of such a variety, but I should have guessed they would come from your bunch. The best rats always do. :wink2:

@ Unepuce: Sorry about the delay. I did receive it and just haven't gotten to that crammed email box yet. I've been playing catchup with orders, then discovered a nasty flaw in my website & how it processes orders received, so I've been trying to work with the website host/designers to see if we can work it out. I'm planning on getting through that email box later tonight though, and do apologize for the lack of correspondence.

We&#39;ve made a major renovation to our s&h system. US orders remain the same with s&h included. International orders are now calculated off weight & are given the option to choose between either USPS First Class or Priority International, with charges displayed at checkout. In order to make this work, I&#39;ve merged the "solid fleece" upgrade into the "size" option for most products. So, as with any upgrade, there may be a few website errors incurred. If you believe you have found any, please shoot me a message.

Due to the upgrade, I am behind on emails/new order requests. I will try to get caught up on those today & tomorrow.​

On to the fun stuff... Order Pics: :dance:

For Kadee: Single FN/CN Package

For Wendy: Lots and lots of hammocks...

 

[Godmother]

OMG, I'm a-gonna die just looking at that last batch of hammocks. :thud:

 

[violet976]

@ Godmother: Aren't they fab? I was absolutely thrilled with your fleece lining choices. Absolutely spot on. :cloud9:

 

[violet976]

In the works... a freestanding tunnel, fully washable, no padding or batting. This is the first attempt and I&#39;m very pleased. It pops back up well and I believe it will upsize well for guinea pigs and other larger critters.

 

[mia9_28]

Oooh... will they keep their shape even after being thrown in the washer/dryer?

 

[lilspaz68]

Do I see cardinals Godmother? :laugh4:

Beautiful work Melissa...as always

 

[violet976]

@ Mia: They should indeed. They include a plastic insert that you simply slide out. Then you would wash as normal and slide it back in. I'll be washing mine tonight just to double check, but even if they shrunk just a tad I would simply make them a tad bigger and all would be fine. :wink2:

@ LilSpaz: You do, indeed. Godmother chose some lovely colors for that set. & my apologies for missing your correspondence this week. It's been a crazy one & I'm hoping yours has been better than one of the bitey updates. :?

Oh oh my piggies would just LOVE this!!!

Sweet! And this is rat size, right?
I'll be looking out for these on your site.

For Morgan: Flat Attack Package in assorted fabrics.

The boys are loving their new flats, thank you so much! As usual, I love the patterns you picked (especially the Rocky & Bullwinkle). Will have to post a pic or two of the boys enjoying their hammies. Many thanks and licky kisses from all of them!

 

[violet976]

I went out & made a special trip to pick up more material for the inserts on the new freestanding tunnels, & luckily I took good notes so they are just about ready for sale now. The size you see is 12"L x 9"W & 5"H at the peak. My gut tells me that it *might* fit one not too big guinea pig, but perhaps a guinea pig owner can confirm that for me. The design, however, looks like it would upsize well & sturdy, so I'll just need to figure out where to source larger pieces of thin/pliable plastic sheets & I'll be able to offer those as well (any ideas, shoot them my way).

They'll definitely work for rats though, and I love that there is no padding to worry about. They are also easy to make, so they shouldn't be uber expensive other than figuring out the best way to ship them. If we can get away with a flat envelope & some bubble wrap around the insert, these should be pretty reasonably priced. :dance:


@ temblabamomo: I'm so glad you like them. I wasn't sure on the Rocky/Bullwinkle fabric (as not everyone is a fan), but I was simply dying to use it!

 

[Godmother]

Let me be one of the first to order one of those when you are ready! Looks great and would be very popular

 

[violet976]

I'll be making some first runs today as I feel confident these are ready to go. Still going to do one wash to be sure for shrinkage issues just in case. & for now, I'm going to make a few that are a bit narrower, but a tad taller for guinea pigs. So far I've only sourced one possibility for a large piece of plastic for enlarging these even more, but I'm going to be doing a Staples/Lowes/Michaels/Joanns run in the next week to scout out other cost effective possibilities. :thumbup:

I'll shoot you a message when the first premades are ready. & Unepuce as well, as she sounded like she might be interested. :thumbup:

 

[Unepuce]

I swore to myself I would stop spoiling my furballs for a while as I have no room to store my hammocks and houses anymore, but yes! I just know they would love it, so let me know! :thumbup:
