My basketball team wishes to have a sleepover, and I keep trying to tell them to come to my house, but they won’t because they find it’s too creepy. I said I would move the Taxidermy ducks and birds out of where we are sleeping (but I can’t move the three deer heads). I also said i would bake pizza and cookies and other treats for them, but they’re still against my house?? What could I say/do to make them want to have the team sleepover at my house?
I’m a girl!!
Also I just told them i have an xbox with dance dance revolution and other games

Tell them you have strippers coming over for the sleep over. lol

Naw IDK, it sounds like they just don’t want to go to your house. If they find it creepy and won’t go even when you keep asking I would just forget about it.

But if you really want them to come over, just ask them what it is thats creepy about your house and then tell them you will fix the problems. Maybe you should do it on thursday when the late night TNT games come because then they will want to come and watch it.

What do I have to do to my fish berfore taking it to the Taxidermy?

Take a good photo of the fish, measure its length and girth then release it back into the water. There are taxidermists who make excellent fiberglass mounts that look better and last longer than skin mounts.



I am so heart broken! My good luck hamster died yesterday. I used to take her everywhere. I put her in the freezer to preserve her. I want to use Taxidermy to turn her into a key chain. What is the best way to do this?
Thank you. What is an inexpensive medium I can use to preserve the skin? Would pickle juice work?

The word taxidermy is derived from the Greek derma. Much like the term epidermis, derma relates to the external layer of skin. Since the process of taxidermy requires removal of the skin from an animal’s shell, later transferring that skin to a precisely crafted replica of the animal’s body, the term makes sense. While the process is sometimes seen as distasteful or even macabre by some people, taxidermy is a form of art, demanding a great deal of knowledge about animals, as well as talent, skill and expertise.

The artisan must remove the skin from the animal’s remains, construct a realistic figure of the animal’s shape, and create lifelike facsimiles of the eyes and any other organs. The figure is often made from polyurethane foam, while glass is typically used to design the eyes. Wax and clay are frequently used to recreate parts such as lips and snouts.

Taxidermy is a method of permanently preserving an animal to display its beauty. While some people have a taxidermist preserve their hunting quarry as a trophy, others may use taxidermy to preserve animals for educational or historical purposes. Taxidermy may be used in the event of the death of a creature on the endangered species list. It may also be used in other cases in which preservation is important, such as if the creature is unique to its species in that it’s the largest, smallest, oldest or otherwise noteworthy.

Taxidermy is also the term used to describe synthetic recreations, which do not contain the skin or any other element of an animal or fish body. For this creative process, quality photographs along with accurate measurements are all that is necessary to create a mount or a lifelike trophy. A catch and release sportsman may use this method to recreate "the big one" without harming the fish

And it works on a hamsters too. Good luck! Eddie

I need to ship some large Taxidermy mounts with horns. Whats the best way to do this? Thanks.

Check around your area for a Freight Dock and see what they will charge to ship it via freight truck. The only downside is whomever your shipping to will have to go to a freight dock in their area to pick it up. But if it’s their taxidermy I’ll bet they won’t mind!

I’m a professional taxidermist. I’ve done a lot of work for museums and some work for country homes (red deer etc.) I also like doing what I can with road kill; sometimes I like to "invent" creatures for my Taxidermy like my Grundlebug: head of a badger, tail of a fox, body of a hair, legs of a pheasant.

Anyway, my best friend lives in Paraguay and his Mum just dies. He wants me to go out there and perform my craft on her so he can have her in the hallway of his house. It’s not illegal over there to preserve humans in this way, and he’s offering to pay my flights and put me up. It would be really good to see him too, but I can’t help but feel slightly creeped out by the prospect of stuffing a dead human. Would you do this? Is it wrong?
OK, some spelling errors: it’s "hare" not "hair" and "his mum just died" not "dies". OK?

NO, that is not right.
