My one-eyed rattie and his new prosthetic eye....

[RattieOfCatan]

Howl is thrilled with it

Aye Aye

He looks a tad startled at the toothpaste "Man, this tastes a bit like pesto"

You need to get him a closed eye for winking too.

Unlike the PDSA , I'm cool with dressing up little mammals, if they're okay with it (eyes scars on hands from last Christmas Hat Photo Debacle)

Haha, I'll keep an eye out for winky eyes ;)

The eye didn't bother him at all, he got annoyed at me just after this shot because I took it off to rearrange it so it didn't go back on. If they were ever uncomfortable about something I'd stop doing it. I didn't realise that the PDSA had a stance on it really!

We tuck the guinea pigs ears forward (just holding them, not stapled ) to make them look like rats (they wish ), then they shake their heads when it's enough.

Their ears are thin skin, like geranium leaves and my GP especially looks quite demonic with little pointed lugholes .

You do know that all the females will want disguises too.........................

Rat ears are quite thin too so I get what you mean :)

I need to finish an eyepatch for Howl before I work on the girls disguises He's got more imminent time issues!

Oh dear I feel a bit bad for laughing

It's alright, I laughed so hard I cried He lost his eye over two years ago now so he's not bothered at all, his brother poked it out when they were about 3 months old! That was an expensive emergency vet trip!

Ironically, his brother had to have his [opposite] eye removed in November and had he survived the op they would have had a pair between them
