I bought a bear- now what?

Nephythys · 02-26-2005, 07:37 PM

I have always wanted a bear skin rug- and now I have one. A neighbor is moving and they had one- a polar bear no less, and I got him for a great deal.

He's not in perfect shape-he has some tears in his pelt. His head is in excellent condition all things considered but needs some TLC. I am going to need to take off the lining and make a new one.

Does anyone know anything about cleaning these type of thing? Or anything pertaining to caring for a animal pelt?

Thanks for any advice.

Wow, a polar bear rug! That's not something you see every day.

I'm sorry I have no idea how to take care of one. I just thought it was wild that you have one!

And as I read the first few lines, I was thinking this was going to be a request for ideas for activities to perform on the rug.

But that is just my sick mind at work.

HAHAHAHA!!!

You know, my family used to have a bear skin rug (with head)... but I don't recollect how to take care of it. I'll make a point to ask my mom how they did it, and I'll get back as soon as I have the info.

I thought all one needed to do with such things is to lie naked in it?

You have to put it in front of a fireplace first, then you lie naked on it.

If it doesn't, you might have to find a way to keep warm.
