Hello everyone!
Turns out we had an unwelcome guest in the form of a brown rat. I accidentally scared it out of its nest I found in the storage closet this morning, and it managed to sneak in my room. I happened to look over and to my horror it disappeared into my neatly folded fake fur that I sit on my bottom shelf.
My pet rat Lola is a clean little booger and I still don't let her touch fursuit materials directly or indirectly because of allergies and things like that. I'm actually probably more funny about it than I should be.
I managed to trap the rat in a 10 gallon cage, but not before it ran on top of and in the fur once or twice more, to to my dismay. It was fur I planned on selling, but I don't want to sell it like that! I also plan on using a lot of the fur for a fursuit (a rat, coincidentally). I want to clean it, but how do I disinfect 2-4 yards of fur at once? Can I even sell it afterwards? It's a lot of fur to sit around and me not use, but I'm not sure anyone would even want to buy it now. The rat didn't do anything gross to it, just skittered across it- but still.
What should I do with it?
Thanks in advance >:
