Possibly Selling Climbing Nets/Hammocks

Hey, I was wanting to get some opinions on this idea. I may start to sell hermit crab climbing nets/hammocks with my sister. She has crocheted me one that my crabs love, and I thought it would be cool to take custom orders and designs, that work best with your tank. I got the idea when I posted some pictures of my tank, and other people on the HCA saw my climbing net and seemed to love it. So my main question is, would any of you think it would be a good idea to do this? Would any of you be interested in buying any? My sister suggested that we sell them through Etsy. We haven't started to sell or make any yet, it is just an idea for now. Here are some pictures of the one she made me.

My opinion: I like it! And if I had a ability to "pick and choose" from different styles/sizes, I would be a happy camper! I almost purchased one off Etsy last year, but the lady sold it before I could get it, and she never did restock her shop, so I couldn't get one....

Thank you! I'm glad it caught someone's attention. I think I will have my sister make a few basic ones, and I will post the link to her Etsy, when we have a few nets made!

I especially like the "corner" style - this is the one I had my eye on last time:

but personally I would just throw one in there now so they have something else to climb.....I keep thinking mine are getting bored with the same old setup, LOL!
