These are so lovely. I am a fan of your bunny army. I need to acquire some wall hanger bunnies I have none at the moment. I have fur scraps I am using to make a blanket and to line my shelves for my skulls.

Thank you, it's quite a collection (and still growing!)Β 
I love using rabbit pelts to line my shelves, as well as for photoshoots to use as a backdrop for other taxidermy. Beautiful and useful

I love that tricolored most but I have a cat which has got the same colours so that's pretty explainable lol

That's my kind of rabbit! The upper right hand one looks like a velveteen, the kind with the out of this world soft fur made of clouds and children's dreamsΒ

I can't even imagine such a large rabbit haha. The biggest buns I've known have been little cottontails in Louisiana. Are these domestic breeds?

Hawock In reply to ToothNClawTaxidermy [2015-11-19 11:52:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes, these are all domestic breeds, many of them being crossbreeds that were bred for their meat.
The smaller ones are mostly ones that died prematurely, or were skinned animals from the reptile food industry.

A lot of people here know everything about fox colour mutations... but I'm doing my best to learn more about rabbits!

Haha good plan! I'm a coyote chick myself, so maybe I'll start studying them more closely because it seems like their colors and patterns can also be quite varied.

Oh, totally!
My favourite coyote coat pattern is the "malamute faced" coyote, they look so doglike, and their eyes really stand out

Ooh yeah, I've seen those before! They are quite lovely.

A long while ago a coyote was posted to taxi.net that looked like it had collie in its bloodline; the fur has a red tint and it had a thick ring of white all the way around the neck. Sadly someone scooped her up before I could but she's been my dream pelt ever since, I even modeled my character Comet after her.

I am actually considering to sell my bigger canine pelts, and focus on bunnies on other small animals.
Squirrels and gerbils are more of my favourites
