Gots me a gopher

driving home from dropping the kid brother off at school today, i spotted a freshly killed gopher person in the street. of course i pulled over and took her/him home with me. i’d like to make a little pouch necklace thing if i can pull off skinning something so small. my only experience skinning something was with a skunk, and that project kind of failed, but i imagine you’d do pretty much do the same thing except more delicately.

anyone got a link for small rodent processing they could share?

i searched paleoplanet and didn’t come up with anything.

okay, i skinned it and have the hide stretched out and salted.
what next?
