Myshka's Toy Box Myshka's Toy Box creates hand crafted dog toys and accessories for you and your pet to enjoy together. So how did we begin? I needed one. I was devastated! Bingo!

I once saw an exhibitor with a squeaky real fur mouse at a local dog show. My Butter adored it and played with it until we had to give it back, soggy and chewed, to its rightful owner. So I hunted high and low for this mouse. Nobody made or sold real fur mice anymore. So I began trying to find professionally tanned fur that was ethically sourced. I found a company in England that produced just tha

t! The English Rabbit Fur Company (also available on Etsy) are incredibly dedicated in their search for ethical fur that are a genuine by-product of the meat industry from top quality farms. Well I bought some furs, toyed with some designs, and made a mouse. Bragged about it to some friends on Facebook and before I knew it everybody else wanted one. Through my friends, different designs and noises and colours came about until we have what is available today. I'm always open to new or custom designs. To date I've made mice for an owl, gun dogs, a big snake shaped mouse, and many more. Myshka's Toy Box mice are meant for you and your pet to enjoy together. It is the responsibility of the pet owner to decide if the toy is appropriate for the pet. Always supervise your pet during play. Our mice are strong but not indestructible and are susceptible to chew damage. Please check regularly for wear and tear and discard or replace as necessary. Our mice may contain small parts that can be a choking hazard (i.e squeaks and rattles). Not suitable for children.

Did you know?

Every single fur tail is hand cut. Some days it’s easier to do than others. Especially when you don’t have the giant baby dog in your work space.

This has amused me.

I, too, wish shipping was cheaper. So let’s break it down.

Royal Mail charges me £2.75 for tracked 48, it’s no longer worth sending anything less than tracked and I’m pretty sure it’s not any cheaper.

Then Etsy charges me £0.04 for the privilege of them processing the shipping portion of the transaction(we are ignoring the 6.5% transaction fee for the entire order for this)

Bulk buy shipping labels cost about £0.01 per label. Give or take as the first few are always unusable on the roll but let’s just call it a penny. We are also ignoring the original outlay of a fancy label printer.

The cheapest high gsm C5 envelopes I can find are £0.04, when you get into the boxes etc they are definitely not that cheap, can’t use plastic for many many reasons.

Disclaimer leaflet no one reads costs £0.01

So we have 10p in materials.

That leaves me 15p for my time to pick and pack the order and get it to the postbox or take a total loss of 30p now to have it collected from home.

But I don’t really have that 15p because that was eaten up in Etsy’s fees.

Say I paid the babysitter £12.50 an hour to pack orders, he’s not the fastest but I bet a simple order would take him 2 minutes so 40p and then someone still has to get it into the mail network!

So yes, I wish shipping was cheaper too, but with the way of the world it just isn’t. I’m certainly not funding my champagne lifestyle on c. 15p an order.

Can anyone just stop and think before they speak? Wonderful review besides, it’s not like I’m charging £6.95 + VAT for shipping!

Cute cat though, is it a Siberian?? 😻

Do I have any customers near Battle, East Sussex that can collect an item(shoebox size) for me after next Wednesday Nov 26. Can give more details to the right person willing to help, can guarantee it’s not drugs or anything else illegal. Compensation for favour is guaranteed. 🥰

Delilah in a sombrero just because it’s the greatest photo I’ve ever taken, not at all related to the task. 🤠

Come at me with big Karen energy, I’m going to call it out.

You don’t shout at staff at Asda(or maybe you do Barbara) so don’t come at me.

Yes I make mistakes sometimes packing orders, but when I test each squeak as I fill an order, I know those are always packed in there.

Happy Thursday everyone. 💅🏻

RESTOCK NOTICE

Please consider this your notice that everything but valerian and the furry dangly toys are back in stock

Why aren’t they back? Because my workroom DESPERATELY needs an organise.

So please. Please. PLEASE. Stop messaging asking when I’m going to make them because today, this needs to be sorted so I can make anything.

Be quick, some people already jumped on it when Etsy notified them.

Yorkshire and Cumberland cat clubs put on a great show

But did you know it’s my first born chihuahua’s tenth birthday.

So we shared some cherry pie, no guesses to who got which slice.

Thank you for your continued support so I can treat my dogs to ridiculous things like cherry pie instead of dog treats 😝
