You need a plucker. It is also possible to chemically ‘slip’ the hair, obviously you’d need to skin them though.
Best way Iv seen is to put the possum on its back and one foot on its tail, grab its head with the one hand and stretch it out, with the other hand poke a finger up its bum (bout half way) This will cause the skin to relax for long enough to pluck em easily.
wont work on really old possums, but overnight usually helps.
Once fingered you don't have much time so be quick.
Skin it and cover flesh side with slacked lime - leave over night and it slips off - best way of getting ALL that fur off - but a bit messy
Prob misspelled slacked ??
I don't wanna know how you came to work that out :DQuote:
