Creative Critter Co is a small business dedicated to creating items for critters and their humans! Thus, Creative Critter Co was born!
(10)
When it comes to pet products, our little critters are often (and sadly!) overlooked. Whether the items are overpriced in pet stores or mass-produced for large online retailers, it can be a challenge to find the perfect bedding accessories to suit your rats, mice, guinea pigs and other little critters. As a proud 'Mother of Rats', Amy has seen first-hand just how challenging it can be to find qual
ity, well-made hammocks and accessories that don't break the bank. Creative Critter Co is a small Brisbane-based business specialising in handmade hammocks for beloved pocket pets. Amy hand selects beautiful prints and sources quality materials to curate hammocks to suit your home and budget. The brand also sells a small selection of accessories for bigger critters (the humans) to enjoy including scrunchies, earrings, magnets, keyrings and more!

New week, new hammocks 😍 We had a massive day at the Queensland Rodent Fanciers Show, so still need to check through inventory before opening the shop!
For now, please enjoy these sweet snaps of some ratties in a “Breakfast of Champions” double hammock 💙

I’m all for promoting our beautiful hammocks, but sometimes even the softest minky or warmest fleece can’t compete with a KFC bag that smells like salty chips 😂
KFC if you want to sponsor us, you know where to find us 😂
Love and snoot boops,

Hey everyone 👋🏻 Apologies if you’ve already seen this across your feeds, but trying to spread the word far and wide and the next QRF Show 💖
Queensland Rodent Fanciers shows are a great way to meet other owners, mingle with the Brisbane community and support local businesses 💖 There’s a canteen (Roy and Sandy always do an amazing job!), a raffle (usually drawn around 2-3pm), and plenty of stalls where you can cuddle some sweet critters!
Entries are open for the QRF August 4th "Thrift Shop" Show! Entries will close Sunday the 28th of July at midnight.

Creative Critter Co’s version of Cubism 😜 Technically still a work of art if we do say so ourselves! Especially with our signature heart-shaped entrance 😍
Which style is your fave? 👉🏻 https://creativecritterco.square.site/shop/cube-hammocks/33
All birthdays and milestones are special, but today’s event hits different. Today we celebrate rescue royalty and incredible odds that are nothing short of a miracle.
Happy 3rd Birthday to our beautiful princess, Diana 💖 Pink cupcakes, a crown and a cuddle cocoon to let you know just how special today is!
How very blessed we are to spend another birthday with you. I know Fergie is celebrating on the other side with similar festivities and enthusiasm 🌈 Enjoy your cake my sweet girl, you’ve earned it!
Who else enjoyed those early 2000s magazine quizzes (or am I just showing my age)? 🙋♀️
With so many items to choose from in our shop, I thought I'd create this fun little quiz for those struggling to decide what hammock to pick for their mischief members.
Let me know which hammock your critter lands on, and I'll pick a comment on either Facebook or Instagram next Monday (22 July) July to receive a gift!
Happy 2nd Birthday Leia! Thank you for always looking after your cagemates (especially sweet old Diana), keeping your spawn in check 😂, and managing to find yourself at the top of the score board at many QRF Shows 🙌🏻
You are a force to be reckoned with, and we are so incredibly proud to be your forever family.
Love you, my rebel princess!
Save the date!! The next Queensland Rodent Fanciers Show in on Sunday 4 August, and we hope to see you there!

Ducky and Sweet-Sweet are in one of the Rebel Princess double hammocks 🌌 There’s still a few left here: https://creativecritterco.square.site/shop/our-rebel-princess/17
Big thank you to Pocket Potatoes for sharing such a beautiful post with us!
Couch cuddles with my almost three-year-old girl Diana 🩷 She’s the oldest rattie we’ve ever had, and I’m so incredibly grateful for every day with her.
Here’s a little snippet of our nighttime routine on the couch. Warm tiny throw or cuddle cocoon paired with lots of scritches and pats 👌🏻 Absolute perfection!

Got my creative space back on Saturday morning so it was a day filled with fabric as we prepared for the QRF Show!
This means our website is now reopen and fully stocked with lots of winter warmers, including our popular BEW Magic cuddle cocoons and signature CCC heart hammock cubes!
We've been told by a few folks the heart entrance has become synonymous with our brand, so we'll be incorporating it into all cube hammocks going forward.

Hiya! This is Oreo and Diana popping in to say sorry for the lack of posts over the last little while! Mumther hasn’t forgotten about the mini comp, she’s just had some urgent personal things that have sprung up, so it’s taking longer than planned to work on the accessories!
She also has a heap of fleece and minky fabric waiting to be turned into hammocks, so she will aim to make a start on this soon, especially with the Queensland Rodent Fanciers Show coming up next Sunday (2 June).
If you have any questions about the shop or the show, feel free to message the page and mumther will get back to you as soon as possible!
🎉 MINI COMPETITION NOW CLOSED 🎉
I’m looking at doing a run of personalised keyrings, but I want to perfect my craft a bit more first to see if it’s feasible!
So I’m giving two lucky entrants their own keyring as part of my testing process. To enter, simply leave a comment with your chosen name (it can be your own or a heart rat’s name), as well as which colour filler beads to include (pink, purple, blue, green, blue-grey, white or mixed) 🩷💜💙💚🩶🤍
I’ll randomly pick two people by the end of the week and have their piece added as a comment to this post over the weekend! I’ll be able to post these anywhere in Australia via envelope post (non-tracked), or for pick up at the QRF Show on Sunday 2 June 🙌🏻
NEW items added to the shop! Skinny tumblers are back with two of our best selling artworks:
The horrors persist but so do I 💪
AND
Will work for yogies 💅

Diana has taken to occasionally rolling onto her back for optimal scritches. I caught this little moment on camera between my better half and Diana. I love the way he helps her turn right side up too 😍 Over 2.5 years old and still going strong 👏🏻
I aspire to be more like Diana in my everyday life: handling all situations with grace and poise. Despite Oreo being in close proximity to her high-value treat, she didn’t react or go to run away, because she knows she’s a queen 💅 2.5 years old and still in a league of her own…absolutely our princess 👑

Make sure your human is well-trained in giving scritches. It is very important, especially when you’re an older lady with legs that don’t work as well as they used to. If your human does a good job, reward them with a bit of extra affection 👌🏻 💛 Fergie
Getting ready to do something special tomorrow with Rachie's Ratirement Home 🫶🏻 Biccie giving me a little clean to make sure I’m all fresh and clean (peep Fergiana at about the 20 second mark stepping up to supervise 😂) Any guesses as to what we’re up to tomorrow? 👀
Thank you to godmumther Ally for gifting us this carved out pumpkin to enjoy 🧡 we had to move a hammock and a hide to make enough room and the results are SO worth it 😍
I did not want mumther to leave for work today. She smelt of perfume and a bit stressy, so I licked all the bad vibes away. I only let her go because she said her job means being able to keep up with our lifestyle 😂 I’m not keen on the vet and medicine bit of our lifestyle, but the treats and cage enrichment is vital so off she goes to work! Have you had your morning washie today? 💖 Leia
Princess Leia being her usual perfect self 😍 I know Rachie's Ratirement Home has plenty of beautiful rats just like Leia patiently waiting to find their new home…do you have room in your home and heart to give them one? 🏠: https://www.rachiesratirementhome.com/adoption-application 💵: https://www.rachiesratirementhome.com/donate
