Return address labels

1 sheet $2
2 sheets $1.75 each
3-4 sheets $1.50 each
5+ sheets $1.25 each

(plus 50 cents postage, any quantity)

A: face-only view of a sable ferret.  B: 3/4 view; i.e., a full side view, but the ferret's head is turned to look at the camera  C: head-and-shoulders view of a sable stretching her neck up for a treat  D: standard full side view
Self-adhesive white labels, 1" X 2 5/8", with a greyscale picture (A-D) at the left edge and up to 5 lines of text in regular (Helvetica), serif (Times), italic (Helvetica or Times), or fancy (Zapf Chancery) lettering. Pictures above are shown actual size on a 100-dpi monitor (about 1" high), but they are printed at much higher resolution. (Logos, special typefaces, etc. can also be added; ask for more information.) Each sheet contains 30 labels. All sheets must be identical for the quantity discount.


"Teddy ferret" kits

deluxe, $10.00 (plus $3.00 shipping)
regular, $5.50 (plus $0.50 shipping)

Not baby teddy ferrets, but kits with everything you need to make your own, including materials, a pattern, and instructions. The stuffed "teddy ferrets" I used to make are not currently available. (I just don't have time to make them these days.) In the meantime, I'm pleased to offer these kits. Available in medium-dark sable, light butterscotch, silver, and dark-eyed white (colors slightly different from the photos).

You'll also need sharp scissors, thread, pins, a sewing needle, and a pencil. A sewing machine is strongly recommended (nothing fancy, just straight lines), and a small pliers is handy. It takes me a little over an hour and a half to make a teddy ferret.


Notecard assortment

package of 5 cards and envelopes $5
two packages (10 cards) $8
larger quantities -- ask about discounts!
inside message, add $2 per package

(plus $1 shipping per package)

White folded notecards, 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", blank inside, with envelopes. Each package includes one each of five different black-and-white designs. Four of the designs match those on the return address labels, above, plus one additional design, "Having a Ball!", which shows a sable ferret standing up, playing like a seal with a ball near her nose. Optional message inside in your choice of styles; just let me know what you'd like and I'll match it as well as I can (text only, please).


Custom notecards

one-time setup charge $15 for photos, $10 for drawings
card prices as listed above for regular assortment

Put your own picture on the front of the notecards! Send a photograph, drawing or logo and I'll put it on the front of your cards in high-resolution (600 dpi) black and white, either just as it is or with the background edited out (like the standard notecards). Very clear, high-contrast, reasonably close-up pictures work best; color or B&W is okay, but the notecards will be in black and white. Ask about quantity discounts!


Fuzzy sleeping bags/hammocks

large, $5.50 (plus $1.50 shipping)
small, $4.50 (plus $1.50 shipping)
with eyelets, add $1.00
cow-pattern fabric, add $1.00

[Photo: three sleeping bags, medium brown (no longer available), grey, and dark brown.  The medium brown is inside-out, and the dark brown is a small-size bag.]
Warm and soft, made of bright red, pink, dark brown, grey, beige, or cow-pattern (black patches on white) polyester fake fur. (The medium brown shown above is no longer available.) Machine washable and reversible (fur inside or out; the medium brown bag above is shown fur-side-out) for summer or winter use. Large size is big enough for two or perhaps three ferrets (roughly 9" X 15"), small is single-ferret sized. Other sizes or shapes on request. Optional metal eyelets at the corners for use as a hammock. Pixxel particularly loves to curl up in ours, often joined by Rusty (when he's not sleeping on our laps).


"Your Pet Ferret" (The Ferret mini-FAQ) -- free!

Free! ($1 for copying and postage gladly accepted)

A 14-page guide to ferrets, covering everything from food, cages, and ferretproofing to vaccinations and signs of disease. This "owner's manual" grew out of the Internet Ferret Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list, and represents the best advice and opinions of hundreds of ferret owners and ferret-expert veterinarians. It can be copied and handed out at pet stores, vets' offices, club meetings, and so forth, as long as no one charges for it. If you have access to a Postscript-compatible laser printer and know how to download an ASCII PS file to it, you can also get the mini-FAQ by FTP.


A true testimonial from a real, live customer

"The fuzzies unanimously endorse the sleeping bags...they're both used every night. We love them all -- thank you so much!"

- Jeff Hazel, with Misty, Sabrina, Moose, Binky, and Squeekers
