I would like to use my rabbit hides to make dog toys, braid it into fleece fabric to make tug toys and such. How do you think I should preserve them? The toys obviously wont last forever but I also dont want the hides to spoil or smell bad. The hides dont have to turn out high quality just good...

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to keep rabbits in my garage. It is insulated so it stays cool in the summer and warmer in the winter, I live in MN. One of the concerns I have is the rabbits being scared by the garage door opening and closing and possibly exhaust exposure even though...
