Impressed you did the pelts. I have done 2 (rabbits my cats killed and brought to me, lol) but the skin and fur is very delicate and not really worth it anymore IMO

This is really interesting. What do you do with the hides? Do you sell them on as materials for people to make things from, or do you make things and use them yourself?

The skin is very thin but actually really easy to flesh. I suggest using the knife as little as possible. If you make your first cuts carefully pretty much everything else can happen with your fingers. I have an old puddy knife I use for fleshing when I meet it

What do you feed food rabbits? And, do you fatten them up first?
