Aww they are lovely!
would fimo be suitable for making waterbowls?

The boys made a small water bowl and have sat it on the side full of water - that was last night. As of yet no leaks and water level hasnt changed much so doesnt look like its being absorbed either.

Not sure if there would be any toxins etc though so will have to investigate further on that one before they make any more.

Does fimo come in natural colours or terracotta or anything but red or blue?

yes it comes in loads of colours and also different effects- granite, metallic are the two that spring to mind.

I like my vivs to look natural because all of them are on display so rock coloured hides / caves etc would blend in a lot easier than red / blue love heart boulders

Well they had a choice of colours and decided they want metallic red & blue. Apparently the boy babies have to have the blue ones and the girls the red.

Havent had the heart to tell them that we wont actually know what sex they are straight away

Just hold them up to the light for a few seconds and say boy or girl, that'll fool them.

hope so

Here are my attempts so far... I used marble (the white) and granite (the grey) Have done some with the two fully mixed and they look best I think, but haven't taken pics.






Also, does anyone know if you can re heat it and it will go soft again? I had the brainwave (or so i thought) of making moist hides, with bottoms attached by using the inside of the tins, and the bases have all sunk because they were upside down as it were. If I put them back in the right way up, will the bases go flat?
