Having read numerous articles from the archives I am aware how delicate the skin of a rabbit will be to skin. I have selected a running form in which the front and back legs are in a nearly fully extended position. I am contemplating making a dorsal incission to avoid having to detache and reatache any of the legs. My question is have any of you successfully made a dorsal incission with minimal noticability? Thankyou Ed

If you do a good job sewing and keep the hair out. Tip: When mounting this rabbit, try not to handle the fur with your fingers. Use long pins do taxi the skin around with. Be gentle and don't force it or it will stretch and not return or tear. Be carfull, and Good Luck !
