About Us
Welcome to FerretTails! I'm so happy you decided to stop by my shop. Here we create cage liners and accessories for small animals. At this time, we offer cage liners for the MidWest Ferret and Critter Nation cages, along with a variety of accessories for small animals.
A bit more about us:
I’m Sara, owner and operator of FerretTails Etsy Shop. You can also find FerretTails on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
I opened my Etsy shop in 2020. I am fur mama to 6 amazing goofy adorable ferrets, 2 loving loyal dogs, 4 cats and several fish.
I decided to step into ferret ownership after graduating college in 2018. Weasel and Lucy were my first two ferrets, then came Bear and Ruby, and Leo and Baby Oscar joined our family in 2022.
I did not sew before owning ferrets, but a family friend offered me a free unwanted sewing machine and I happily accepted. I really wanted to make my fur babies cute cozy beds, cage liners, and hammocks. So I spent countless hours reading books and watching videos until I was able to make a set of liners.
After some trial and error, I made my first set. That was over 5 years ago, and I still have that set today. At first, I only made cage liners and hammocks for my ferrets and my friends ferrets. By late 2019, I decided to start a YouTube channel offering easy to follow tutorials on how to make cage liners and accessories. Overtime, I began receiving request to sell the items I was making in my videos, and that’s when I decided to open my Etsy shop.
The first year I was on Etsy I ran the shop alone, but overtime it became clear I was going to need some help. I left my full-time job in the summer of 2021 so I could give my undivided attention to Etsy and my customers. My husband Chris began helping me soon after. He cuts the fabric and helps pack orders. I do all the sewing, ordering and handle all customer communication.
Together, we are the team behind FerretTails.
Being a ferret mom has changed my life in ways I could have never imagined. I absolutely love sewing and being able to create a warm cozy space for your fur babies and mine. I have also met some of the most amazing fur moms and dads through my Etsy shop.
We are truly grateful for all of the love and support of our customers, both old and new. We couldn’t do it without you.
Sara & Chris,
FerretTails
