Doing some nuisance work and getting rats over a foot long from nose to butt curious if worth the effort of skinning, fleshing and putting up

If the furs good definitely, rats are easy to skin, flesh and put up. Only take a few minutes.

Only problem is with the price on rats only a couple $ (1.12 avg at local sale) almost seems a waste of time unless putting up super high numbers, then has to be in the hundreds. Make more per animal than make for the fur

They are easy fur to deal with. A couple of bucks is more than you had before.
