I have always used wire and got just as much as anyone that has used wood. If you have time and really enjoy putting up fur, use the wood.

For rats its a matter of personal preference. I've used wire all my life and usually put up a few on wood just because I have the forms. But with wire or wood your rats will be graded the same. But, if you use wire incorrectly your large rat could become a medium. Nothing like a well used and worn in wire form for rats and knowing how to use them.

I was thinking about skinning them, drying them, then refreezing them.
