Can something be done to soften or moisturize old dry fur pelts?

Yes, old dry fur pelts can be softened and moisturized using specialized leather conditioners or oils designed for fur. It's important to test any product on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the fur. Additionally, gently brushing the fur with a soft-bristled brush can help restore some luster and flexibility. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
