I have a couple of squirrel hides in the freezer. I want to use them to tie flys. Is borax ok as a preservative or should I tan them?

I've stretched them, worked any fat off them, then salted the crap out of them before and it worked just fine. after a few weeks i cleaned the salt off, applied new and let it sit again. Don't remember exactly how long but i still have them and use them for fly tying.
