With a new litter of silver foxes only a few days away I need ideas for how to preserve, work, and use the pelts we're going to have. I know with rabbits we need to grow them to at the least 12-16 weeks for the fur to mature.

Methods? Discussion? Tools and items people use?

This place is what I use.

Moyles. I put you on the their prep page. I've never had good luck tanning myself, so I have them do it.

I use moyles as well.  They have consistently done a great job with the hides I have put up and then sent to them.
