The Grumpy Dad 2 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Has anyone ever made a blanket out of rabbit fur ? I know how to dry them out. So if i did this then put them through the washing machine and got them stitched together , i`am thinking it would make warm dog bedding for there pen. Or have i missed somthing as to why this cant or shouldnt be done? It has been known to happen Rgds Lee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Grumpy Dad 2 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Dont know about yours, but I think my dogs would shred it May do. But i could line there actual bed and either staple or tac it to the wooden box. Lot of pissing about though if they did shred it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 it would only last a day or 2 once it got wet and muddy ........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Grumpy Dad 2 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 i`am out later this week so will start it then. I`ll get some pics and see how it goes. I wouldnt have thought getting wet and grubby would ruin it but if i keep it to a size that can be thrown in the washer , i could over time get a couple on the go. rgds lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tallyho 181 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I hada go at making some rabbit mittins made the one and made the mistake of leaving out the back and my lurcher ate it , and i think they would do the same if ever i made a blanket , but it does sound a good idea and would be warm .

rikjd 8 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 once theyve been washed would the scent still be there? i think if they smelled like everything else in the house the dogs wouldnt bother? have a bash and let us know how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Interesting idea, but what would putting the skins through the washing machine do to them? Surely you'd have to treat them somehow to stop them drying out and cracking after they dried? I'd imagine they'd harbour fleas etc if they weren't washed regularly? Might be an idea for lining the walls of the kennel - give the dog something to do chewing them off and shredding them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
