I have dyed some of my Mongolian Sheep fur as my son owns a salon and we used both bleach and hair dye. The problem with animal fur is that it's follicles are much tighter than human hair so it is much more difficult to get color to stick...I think you would be better off buying some light fur unless you have enough of the other fur that you can experiment...you can use leather conditioner on the hide to soften it up after it drys out but thin hides will tear anyway. Hope this helps

Hi Everyone,
I have been making real fur Teddy Bears and Bunnies for about 10 years now and as much as a mess as the spray glue can be I still prefer it to the other options as It does not make the bear too stiff like glue does and I have no problems with my needles getting gummy. I have not tried the two-sided tape yet as my teddy bears are pretty big but I may try it on my next small one. By the way I am also very sorry about your kitty Sue,
I have nine of them and they love helping me make my bears...I have lost more ears over the years ....hugs,
