This is how i hand play with my rats. I only do this with the confident rats, and when introducing rats to this method of play, I'm very gentle at first, and often start with fingertip teasing. This is a great way to interact with your rats and get them used to being touched, and teach them that hands are fun and not scary. If they do give a curious nip, i'll just make an 'eek' noise at them, which in rat language means 'stop that'... Most of the new babies have learned not to nip now :) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0xG_ViEBIw
Decided to film myself whilst I was working on one of my current commissions.
It took me about 1hr30min to do this much, so I've speeded it all up by x15.
First part is making the template for the fur by applying parceltape directly onto the foam fursuit head, then cutting it off and applying more parceltape to the sticky side so its not sticky anymore.
Second part is placing the template (sticky-side up) onto the fur, and pinning into place. For the lighter colour fur I can draw around and remove the templates before cutting, but I didn't have any chalk to draw on the black fur so I cut straight around the template.
It's alot of work, and requires to be able to hold with your feet whilst you're applying the parcel tape.
Hope you enjoy this glimpse of my fursuit making process.

Testing jaw movement and flexibility of ears of Bunnymund head project.
I was asked to do the foam work so that the commissioner could finish it off herself, so this is as finished you will see it from my end.
I came up with a unique idea of having the ears detachable for ease of transport, and also means I don't have to use a HUGE box to mail it in. As you can see from the video, it was a huge success!
