SUP Report post Posted February 5 (edited) I got these two furs for a couple of dollars yesterday. They are glossy and appear clean. I am completely clueless about furs and would love to know what animals they come from. Before I think of using them, I would like to give them a light cleaning. How can I do that? I would appreciate any help with this. The backs of the furs is posted in the next post. Edited February 5 by SUP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted February 5 (edited) The back of the same furs. The brown patch on the white one is where my dog found it and licked it. Caught her just in time! Edited February 5 by SUP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, looks like wabbit Some breeds of wabbit grow very long hair Clean carefully, sponge clean and hang to dry. Do not get soaking wet or they will fall apart Worth about $10 to $15 each Edited February 5 by fredk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted February 5 (edited) Will do. I got them for $2. My dog loves them... will probably chew them before I can do anything with them. She keeps eyeing them. Thank you @fredk and @bladegrinder. Edited February 5 by SUP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsunkasapa Report post Posted February 5 The light one is not rabbit. It looks more like hair than fur. Some closer pictures would help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUP Report post Posted February 6 @tsunkasapa, Yes, I was wondering if it might be something like that though I was wondering more about whether it might be wolf or something like that. Rabbit fur feels different - so soft and fluffy. 15 hours ago, fredk said: @fredk this looks soft and fluffy with long fur but the white one that I have shown in the photographs is not as soft and the fur is like long straight hair.

tsunkasapa Report post Posted February 6 Wolf would have a double coat. Coarser outer hair with a 'wooly' undercoat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted February 6 @tsunkasapa, okay. This is anyway a small piece. it looks like something cut out of a larger piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
