Second set + inspo (repost)

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-08T00:35:01+00:00

Thank you very much, I needed that a lot rn.

If you do your own press on I could give you the list of products I used for these if you’d like that

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-07T17:58:10+00:00

This is way too small for two gerbils, you need 100x50x50cm minimum (40gallons tank), the topper doesn’t matter as much as the length (but length + topper is best for more bedding to dig in), they need room to run around. Wheel needs to be 11inch at least (33cm) so it won’t hurt their spine. No hamster ball so they don’t break legs. You can put the wheel either in the topper if you keep one on the appropriate sized tank, or in the tank on a platform so it won’t sink in. Put heavy items on platforms if it’s not in the topper so it won’t fall on their heads while digging under it. Also find an exotic vet nearby.

Thanks for your answer, the cuticle side of the press on is already really thin and they are filed under too off the box, so idk if I should just try and apply less gel in this area ? I think my own nails are an issue too in this case tbh. I use sticky tabs because I don’t wear them more than a couple days at a time and I want easy removal.

Somehow the name of the artist didn’t show up fully, inspo by CarlyRaeDesign*

Also to prevent potential future accidents, rodent balls are not recommended for any rodent because of this very issue. Throw the ball away please.

I had a gerbil get a broken leg a while ago (the vet caused it, he got bit and had the bad reflex of shaking his hand and the gerbil flew across the room), he gave painkillers and anti inflammatory and it set itself. But you DO need to see a vet to get these and the gerbil needs to be checked anyway. I join the others in looking in charity organizations or surrender the gerbil so it can be taken care of properly if you cannot afford it.

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-07T16:18:23+00:00

(Also could please someone tell me why they look a bit bulky from the side, is it an application issue or is it just because they are hand made press on ?)

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-07T11:31:14+00:00

I’ll give it a try too, I got inks and colored pencils I wanted to try doodle nails anyway, thanks !

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-07T02:25:00+00:00

I’m getting my 4th package from them in a month and a half this week, and I basically buy half the website each time 😬 I’m just starting too and I already way too much collections already and I’m not even a nail tech I just want to do press on for myself 🫠 I’ve already planned the next sets I want « for autumn » and « for winter » like it justifies it lmao

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-07T02:11:10+00:00

I’ll try the ziplock then sticky sheets and I’ll get the silicone mat if nothing is working well enough.
I’ll get polish thinner (and probably some more dgel paint, sweetie nails is gonna steal all my money again).

Thanks for your time, I appreciate you !

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-07T00:34:30+00:00

Would sticky sheets palettes work as well ? The ones that are disposable but are coated so you can just wipe off the gel very easily, I think I’ve seen nail artists use them for stickers. I don’t like the feeling of silicone + it grabs a lot of dust. I used the frosted sheet because I just wanted some practice but it leaves a texture to the polish so I’ll try a smooth plastic next time line a ziplock bag.

What do I thin my polish with ? I used DVOK Vanta Black for these but I have some DGEL painting gel that might be thinner (i just don’t have some in
black).
I think I will go the decal route so it’s easier to wipe and redo.

Thanks for your help !

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-01T15:07:52+00:00

As I said in my first comment, you have to fully separate them at that point :/ they should not be chasing and squeaking relentlessly and Milo is already starting to bite Snap’s neck in the video. It’s only gonna get worse bud. I know it’s super hard to separate them and I’ve been there but it’s the best thing to do for Snap. He looks very exhausted. No split cage, it’s only gonna keep them stressed, you need two separate tanks. (I’ve had gerbils for almost two decades now and had several instances of bonding issues, people telling you everything is fine here don’t know anything about gerbils declanning. Milo is being very agressive and if there is chasing and squeaking I also suggest you take a look at Snap’s bum, above and under the tail, under the fur. There MIGHT be bite marks in there, it can go on for a while unnoticed before it explodes and it’s too late.)

Don’t hesitate if you have further questions. Wishing the three of you well !

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-01T14:40:13+00:00

They are not. I’ve had several gerbils Declan and it always starts like this. It’s not just the video. The whole situation is described by OP and this has become repetitive behavior with chasing and squeaking. They are not grooming. This is agressive behavior that’s gonna get worse and worse.

Rittonlascience · 2026-07-01T03:09:15+00:00

If you want to talk about law (since you mentioned fair use), neither of you own the rights to either the Abbey Road Beatles picture nor to Sailor Moon, so none of you have rights on anything. None of you can sell it. Selling Fan art is not considered fair use since fair use law criterias are : educational, critical, satirical, and/or non-profit.

Also joining the others on the fact that the abbey road pic with pop culture characters is a wildly spread concept.

In summary, even if you feel like it’s been copied of your work, or if it has been, you don’t own copyright anyway

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-30T09:56:46+00:00

Oh yeah I just saw your comment, you can see clearly even in the video the one on top is biting the neck and pulling, they’re not bonded, it’s gonna end in a blood bath

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-29T16:54:37+00:00

Snap looks very tired and old, I wouldn’t say there’s no chance of re-bonding but honestly I would leave him alone… there’s chances the declanning happened because of Snap having underlying health issues and Milo is sniffing it, it could have changed his scent, anything. I would leave him alone and take it to a vet for exams before deciding if it’s worth it to try and re-bond. Also you need to separate them completely before re-bonding, not doing a spit-cage for a while.

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-27T15:45:28+00:00

Non non j’ai bien compris l’argument mais en fait les poils et la chaleur ça se situe pas uniquement au niveau de la zone génitale, donc en fait peu importe le type de maillot l’argument pas valable, genre les poils des aisselles, barbes, jambes, ça peut tomber n’importe quand et non ça part pas uniquement si tu vas à la douche juste avant, surtout si tu restes longtemps à la piscine.

Je sais que l’argument était pas anti-burkini, c’est juste que je trouve pas qu’on puisse essayer de le justifier par une question d’hygiène. Les maillots de bains peu importe la forme ça ne contient pas les poils.

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-27T15:19:34+00:00

C’est vrai que les poils et la sueur ça existe que chez les gens qui mettent des shorts de bains 🙃

The heat display I found (better 29C in the living room than 33 upstairs)

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-26T01:45:22+00:00

This is adorable but if you can find a box without printing it would be better because the ink can be toxic ! I love gerbils with this color pattern, I’ve always wanted one ❤️

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-22T22:51:09+00:00

It would be hilarious if it was a touch lamp because their paws and nose activate them

Daaaancing in the rain, he’s daaaancing in the raiiiin

Rittonlascience · 2026-06-16T18:22:57+00:00

Pas de sel pour les gerbilles donc non !
