Hi again everybody. I am back for another round of questions. So here goes...

1. General care of mohair bears - any tips? I haven't been making them for very long, and I just would like to know how to take care of them.

2. Sending bears overseas. I have read things here and there about sending bears overseas with steel pellets inside, and problems with customs. I am making one for a friend in germany at the moment, and haven't decided if I should weight it with anything. For all those who have sent things to germany, are there any issues with sending bears with pellets in them?

3. So far I have tried polyfil and wool noil for stuffing. But I have a beautiful rabbit I wish to try that uses excelsior wood wool. Now I have never tried this before, but I am trying a lot of ways to make bears until I find the best thing for me. Anyone got some tips for use of this as a stuffing material?

Well I can't recall anything else I want to ask, maybe I will add something later if I remember.
