They're a lot of fun to make and with a bit of creativity, you can make some amazing looking hides for your animals.
Please feel free to share some tips that you have used on your own hides!
May I share this on my site?

I found out too that if you make a batch of this stuff up and have extra, store in a ziplock bag in the fridge. I've had a decent sized chunk from almost 2 months ago that's still good if I need to make another hide.

And here he is nice and happy inside his new boob hide, (thats my boy!!!) he seems to like it in there, but it is crumbly, and might cave in on him,
i will need some pointers how to make a non boob like, not crack filled, or crumbly, any help???
By far one of the most funniest post i have yet to read,how did the boob hold up?

I made my first hide today! Using this recipe of course, I used a (banana bread) tin as the mold, so it's rectangle..all I have to do it paint it! I did have to add more flour to the recipe, so maybe it should be changed to 2 1/2 cups flour? Anyways, I'll post a picture of it when it's all nice and painted THANK YOU!
