Acrylic Nails V. Ratties

[melon_mayhem]

So i just got my nails done a few hours ago and i went to go pet my two ratties and they attacked the nail!

Do they not like the smell or is it the fact that their a bright color (even though i thought that they were mostly color blind)???

They're another chewable material

Some rats like to give manicures, too!

Yes!!
Many of my rats love to trim my normal nails ... I expect they would just love to chew on acrylic nails :wink:

Those ratties can be expensive! They would be happy to aerate our clothes, check all the wooden furniture for hidden termites, sculpt your acrylic nails....

I have acrylics and get them done every three weeks. I have had mine for 3 years now. I have learned never to come home right after having them done and mess with the ratties. There is something in the acrylic or in the cuticle oil that my nail tech uses that drives them wild. After a day of having them done then they don't care so much. Just normal trimming and chewing that they do. But the day I get them done they attack them like I am feeding them some golden treat.

This perfectly explains their reaction to my nails. I'll try to wait a bit before holding them right after i get them done,
Thanks!!
