I was mounting a few heads this summer and rehydrated 3 at a time. Well i missed one and it has been my fridge for 30 days. It had dry out and no hair was coming out. I was wandering if there will be any problems later down the line. I am mounting it right now. The fridge is set a almost freezing. The hide was commericaly tanned. I checked and searched and found nothing on this problem. Will take all advice.

If its not moldy and slipping now it should be fine.

A good tanned hide should not have any problems if its not moldy. Your problems will start when you mount it. I would put a fan on it to assist in the drying.
