Posable arms and legs for silicon puppet

Xoe dyash

I'm wanting to make a doll or puppet from the critters movie.i am making the arms and legs from silicon and was wondering how I put the wire in them. Do I put the wires in the mold while pouring the silicon? Also do I need to cover the wires with anything so they don't have any reactions or problems with the silicon?
