home made hammy? - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 5:21 PM
i was thinking of investing my ferret fund money into a sewing machine and fabric. i hope to make money selling and making hammocks. i want to personalize them with fabric choice and custom designs, but i am not sure if anyone would buy them over more convienent store bought ones. Please let me know soon!

This is feasible for you if you decide to do it. I make all of my own stuff (except if I find a nifty thing that I think they'd like). I generally use anti-pill flannel and anti-pill fleece, and all of my stuff has lasted longer than store bought stuff already - my oldest ferrets just turned one year last month). These fabrics also typically are on sale most of the year. Also, Joanne's issues phone coupons which are quite helpful. 

I really like making sleep sacks and the hammocks, but research the hammock designs thoroughly. Some designs are not so great, and some are great. Personally I plan on using rivets on my next set, and making different length ties that I can attach or detach to fit different configurations for whatever I'm trying to do int he cage. 


I personally wouldn't buy, as I make my own, but you could always try etsy.
