Step 4Insert the Whiskers
Proceed with CAUTION:
With the two bristles between the prongs, press them into the desired location on the side of the rat's muzzle. Do this carefully, using just enough pressure to make sure that you don't poke it right through and into your leg/arm/child. hey, I'm all for blood and guts at Halloween, as long as it's not real...spending Halloween in the hospital getting stitches would not be fun.
Press the tool deep enough that the eye of the needle completely disappears into the rat.
Hold the whiskers with your fingers while you extract the tool. If the whiskers come out, just use the tool to insert them again.
Do the other side (unless you plan on having an extremely insane looking rat!).
If desired, arrange the whiskers so they are not grouped all together. (Sorry, real whiskers aren't in multiples of two, they are usually individual, so we have to give the "ilusion" that they are real. Hey, what do you expect for a buck...)
Use a drop of liquid latex where the whiskers insert to seal them in.
Trim the whiskers to the appropriate length if necessary. I'm not sure if all animals are this way, but cats usually have whiskers about the width of their body - this allows them to determine if they can fit through a hole...
