Invisible carpet repairs-possible?

[littlegreenfairy]

Is it possible to take a spare piece of matching carpet and make an invisible repair? I'm currently squatting at my parents house until we find a new house, and my bd rabbits have ripped the carpet up in their porch (due to boredom and being a bit more contained than normal)

They've not noticed yet and after the little st bags chewed the wallpaper and weewee'd all over the carpet, I could really do without admitting to this one (turns out the pee was keeping them occupied and now they've got their cage back rather than just a litter tray, they've got to find something else to do..)

Help.

Not sure about the physical size of the damage, but we had a bad burn about the size of a 5p and it has been repaired by a chap for £50 in a light carpet and to this date I couldn't tell you where the burn was.

That said, if the damage is larger you may be fked and I'd start packing your bags

Mother has just been saying how she was thinking of redecorating it and getting a new carpet. I think I may just have been saved. Mind you, she'll change her mind again.

One patch is about the size of a mobile, and the other, a large mug.

I'll pack my bags

MIL = mental person and whatever she says or does is subject to change at any time!

Run away, very quickly

I think if you have a matching piece then indeed a section can indeed be cut out and a new one glued in. I'm not sure if it's a pro-only job, or whether you can do it yourself with a sharp scalpel. I imagine the trick is to ensure you get right between the pile and only cut the backing, and obviously use a tin can or something so you get an identical sized piece.
