What a coincidence (yeah, I know, there are no coincidences), I'm working on
a similar project, though mine is taking leftover scraps of white rabbit
pelt and making ermine tails. I have been told that using RIT dye will work,
but I don't know why a hair colour treatment wouldn't work either. Afterall,
fur and hair are similar in that they're both made up mostly of proteins.

In service,
