These are both less than 20lbs beavers. Perfect suez to be able to display without taking up much room

Muskrat hooped both for me


The pelts are both about 22X17


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

Thanks for the info, Muskrat. I recently got some 5/32 for beaver and 1/8 for rats. Hoping it will work out okay.

When bending willow into the hoop, should it be soaked in water first? How do you get the shape you're after without splitting it?
Thanks,
BUI

Best time is April & May. Soaking it in water does help. Just make sure there aren't any beaver in the area.
