Is there a way to preserve a rabbit fur coat?
My wife keeps hers (3) in a closet that is lined with cedar wood. (keeps the moths out) She has had hers since the 80's. She has a blck one, a pure white one and a multi-colored natural coat.
You can buy cedar shavings in most home centers, I believe.
They were real popular in the early 80's
You could use cedar balls or cedar hanger ,do not put it in a plastic bag the hair will come off . do use a fabric garment bag. Also check for nits (eggs) along the bald spots.
