Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

We are able to complete custom or personalized orders with extra time to create!
If you have your own idea, or want to tweak a current item, just send us a message here on Etsy.

Are your products store bought?

Not here at KnotsbyNobs! We strive to let our originality shine. We believe in using recycled materials whenever possible. And pet rats never seem to care!

However, when it comes to items, such as willow sticks, these are purchased from a qualified pet store.

Why Small Animals?

Rats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hedge Hogs, Chinchillas, Sugar Gliders, Ferrets, and other small animals are our focus at KnotsbyNobs. As animal lovers, we know small animals have just as big personalities as some of their larger animal companions. Small animals usually spend time in cages, which is why they need extra attention, enrichment, and foraging opportunities to live a healthy life. We make things for small animals, because they can’t do it themselves.

What is your “Raute Couture” line about?

We dedicate one section of our store, to one-of-kind items you can have for your pet. May include comfort items, treats, or toys, but it will all be exclusive. Only the finest for the fanciest.

These special items usually take us several hours or days to complete. Because we know they are going to be for top-shelf buddies.

Gift wrapping and packaging

Are you sending this to someone as a gift? Let us know! And we will make it extra special for you, and include a personal card, too.
Otherwise, we always package each order with love!

How do you determine your prices?

We do as Etsy says! Calculate materials, labor, expenses, profit, and ideas into the cost. We compare our prices to other online shops and mainstream stores. A lot of effort goes into each handmade order, and we appreciate your support! Our goal is to make this our future.
Plus!! We offer free shipping on orders over $25.00.
