Is the hardening of the dyed skin a common problem? What did John do 'wrong' to cause the skin to harden? Why do other dyed skins, done commercially have very soft and pliable leather?

I think that if you will very carefully, from the wrong side, rub some
vaseline into the hard skin of the rabbit that it may soften up again. Try
it on a small piece and see. I have also used hand lotion. There is a
leather softener which I used to get from Tandy Leather, when they were yet
around, which made it supple again. So, since you have nothing to loose, I'd
try rinsing the whole thing in lady's creame rinse with conditioner, try
vaseline, try a good lanolin hand lotion such as corn huskers friend or any
lanolin prepartion you can find. Joyce
