What is the best way to dry and preserve a fresh rabbit pelt/skin?

What are some easy steps to insure that the fresh rabbit skin/pelt/fur doesn't go bad? How should I dry and preserve the skin while at home? What should I use and how should I use it... Thanks for the details... JessiWhat is the best way to dry and preserve a fresh rabbit pelt/skin?
Well after it is skinned you need a cool and dry place for it to dry. Tack it down with it stretched out a little, otherwise it will shrink. Make sure you are using NON-iodized salt or the skin will turn a blueish color. Be very generous with some salt and make sure it gets good and dried out. It takes a while.





Then you need to get some tanning formula and tan the hide.What is the best way to dry and preserve a fresh rabbit pelt/skin?
Iodized salt will not turn the skin a blue colour at all.
