Rats on stretchers

[-Trap_addicT-]

I've got a hundred+ rats all fleshed, on stretchers, dried and ready for sale. The trouble is I've ran out of room and don't know where to store them. Is there a certain temperature, amount of light, amount of time the finished product needs to be/can be stored at? I've heard that keeping them too warm will cause Mildew and other forms of fungus/rot, but also that being stored in a freezer can effect their weight. They need to be stored roughly 4 months. Any ideas or opinions from experience helps, thank you.

I bundle and hang in the fur shed. Dry and cool is good but I worry more about mice getting in them so I hang them.

It's ok for them them to touch each other? Thanks for the help!

Yep.

how long do they have to stay on stretchers?

Untill good and dry. Feel the lips, if they are hard they can come off the board.

oh good - was worried I was going to have to buy 100 boards 

on a side note, watched a youtube vid a guy was using real estate signs for boards, looked slick!
plastic corrugated cardboard type stuff.

I haven't started my season yet, but in a day or two I'll get going.

I have some of that corrugated plastic and do not think it would be suitable. For one thing it is too flimsy. The other thing, it is rough on the edges and I don't see how you would slip a rat off a board once dry.
