Hi there,
I've never done any kind of animal form or hide preserving or anything, but we "processed" our meat rabbits on our farm today and my daughters asked to keep the feet. I generally just get rid of everything but the meat afterwards so I have no idea what to do with these feet I now have. Is there a simple process for preserving them so they don't rot?
Thanks in advance!

Send them out to someone who can freeze dry them.
If you do, put them in a small cardboard box with holes in it and freeze them. They will be ready about Christmas if you do that. There's actually not a whole lot of meat and fat on the feet of a rabbit and hanging them up in a barn will also work but the freezedry method is better. Your freezer will do that quite well, it just takes longer than the conventional freezedrier ( And it's cheaper).
You say you get rid of everything but the meat . Maybe someone on here will buy the hides from you . Rick
