So, in addition to saving the leaf fat from the rabbit, we also saved the pelts. For the last two days 4 pelts have been soaking in a salt (non iodized) and alum solution. Today, I went through and cleaned off any remaining fat and connective tissue on the skin. Then I put the pelts back in the solution and added more salt and alum. They will remain in there for 1 week. Then we can start the stretching and drying process.
