Check flea markets, second hand stores, antique stores, etc.  Lotsa vintage fur coats end up there since the market for them is pretty poor these days.

I got a buddy that gets scraps (some very large scraps!) from a taxidermist he knows.  JW's gotcha on the right track too.

I'd have told him to skin your knuckles for the fur, Danzn Bar, but we all know you are a knuckledragger and it wears the hair off!

I have seen rabbit hides with the fur at Hobby Lobby.  You might find some at another craft store.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Moscow hide and fur(google it) sells just about anything that comes from an animal but the meat.
Hobby lobby sells rabbit hides for around $8 a hide.
