Ha, gloves you guys are funny, much of the food dye when done in an aplication like that WILL get through the gloves!
as a side note, WD40 is actually realy good for helping remove dye from skin lol.
the BEST thing to use when doing this is Kool-Aid. use the Unsweetend, mix to a managable consisitency (if your doing one color it can be runy like a thick dip, if your going to get creative make it thick like a paste...
leave on for a few mins (the longer the brighter) and rinse well..
tada, brightly and SAFELY colored light animal of any kind.
(i use this method on my 2 chinese crested dogs!, they LOVE the attention lol)
itll last anything from 1-3 months depending on how often they get wet/dirty ect...
your babies are adorable.
i have no problem with dying animals as long as its done safely (no chemicals) and its not pre-injected into the egg...
