If the beaver were fresh when skinned I figure they're good for a week in the rerigerator if the fur is dry, a little less if fur is wet. Tens in the fridge need to be found 34-35F
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Yup, I use the refrigerator all the time for this.

Guys It's just over night.
Just roll them up and throw something over them so they don't dry out.

Hutchy It's only over night. LOL
It's the way I do large amounts of any fur. WE would flesh 20 or 30 beaver a day then cover them that night and then board the next day. Same with coon and rats. and just about anything else. Once the hide Is off the carcass you have a few days to deal with It. And we "NEVER" skinned a fresh caught beaver the same day. Two days was about right to keep them from bleeding all over you.
