Hey folks.
Okay, back story: I needed 8 rabbit pelts for a project, my usual provider only had 7. Instead of waiting for another to become available, I decided to try a new vendor.
I got my pelt in the mail today, and while it's tanned very nicely and the fur is awesome... the leather on the back is stiffer than I'm used to. I can make it work if necessary, but if I can soften it up, that'd be gravy. I tugged on it a little, and there's a crackling noise, like old brittle elastic, if that helps any.
I've seen some folks say to throw it in a COLD dryer with a tennis ball or four and let that go.... wouldn't it wind up damaging the fur??
Any and all advice is most welcome and appreciated.
