I am embarrassed to admit this, but I actually hennaed one of my
daughter's pet hairless rats. For those who aren't familiar, hairless
rats are just that. Bald and smooth. Only one of them (Peach Fuzz)
would sit there still enough to let me henna her back. She actually
seemed to enjoy it. She even sat still long enough to get dried and
crusted over (with face mask) Over that, I stuck on a piece of tape.
She seemed very happy about the whole thing, but she knew something
wasn't quite right and kept looking over her shoulder, at her back.
I didn't know what to do with her after that, though, because her
companion, Skimpy did not like this foreign substance on Peach Fuzz's
body and tried to remove it. So I had to just let her sit on my
shoulder until the henna was ready to come off. It was a very light
color, Peachy's skin is very pink and thin, she's an albino. But it
was pretty, if I do say so myself, quite a novelty! The design did
not last
long, however, it was GONE by the second day. I don't know what
happened to it! My guess is that Skimpy couldn't stand it and licked
it off her.
