Check out some of the suppliers listed on this site and find you a tanning kit. They come with complete instructions. after tanning is when the work starts. Click on the orange button to your left and type in " breaking hides ". If you have any questions just type in the subject in the search box. Good luck

P.S. Rats love salted hides no kidding.
