My honey brought home rabbits feet today, what do I do with them? Do I salt them with a special salt or just leave them out to dry out? I have no clue ! Help ... our 12 year old is grossed out and I need to take care of them haha

I'm not a professional, or even an accomplished amatuer, however, I think you want to make an incision in the bottom of the foot, romove the flesh and bones, then either tan the skin (with the fur still on) or fill the foot with borax and insert a foot mannikin made of excelsior ("easter grass"). I also know that there are products for sale that can be injected into animals feet for preservation purposes, but I have no experience with these things. Good luck.
PS-- I would try posting your message again, possibly under "beginners"...most of my questions are answered promptly by professionals who seem to know what they are talking about.
