I googled it and I found that most of them are considered pests but can also be useful for preserving bone specimens. I’m considering it as a subject for our synthesis paper.

Dermestes maculatus is usually the best to clean flesh from bones as it is easy to keep colonies in captivity. You can just use Bluebottle maggots – they do a good job at cleaning bones.

How long does it usually take for a taxidermist to get a pheasant (flying positioned) stuffed and back to you?

Haha what does this have to do with Canadian Football?

My grandmother gave me a white Taxidermy baby seal that she acquired in 1943. I haven’t seen or heard of anymore around ever, does anyone know what this is worth to either a collector or dealer?

Depending on condition and quality of the workmanship it could be worth anywhere from $300.00 to $1000.00

I heard ladies can’t resist a guy who has animal heads hanging on their walls.

Oh yeah! The ladies really dig dead animals staring at them when they’re in your house. Especially during a late night thunderstorm!

I heard from a friend that Boone and Crockett buys Taxidermy mounts. If they do then i would like to know how to go about it.

Boone and Crockett Club does not buy trophies nor do they get involved in appraisal or selling of trophies. The club rarely even accepts taxidermy mounts as donations unless they improve the quality of the national collection housed in Cody, Wyoming

i want a little white stuffed Taxidermy mouse and i live in los angeles. No they dont sell em in taxidermy shops. because i want one with a little suit, or something along thosse lines and i would prefer to tell them what i want and then they make it. Even online would be great but i prefer near san pedro california, but anywhere in los angeles is good

If my parents would let me I would make you one and ship it to you. But they won’t let me so I guess you’ll have to taxidermy a mouse. Buy a suit for like a doll or something, modify it. Or You can go to petsmart or petco,nbuy a feeder mouse make sure it’s dead take it to be taxidermied then put the doll clothes on it.

I am very interested in the art of taxidermy, but I am not so interested in the actual killing part of it all. Is there any way that I can purchase skins from companies/people to Taxidermy them? I am not looking to taxidermy other people’s stuff for money. I want to taxidermy things and keep them as art (or perhaps sell them). The type of taxidermy I want to perform in the type where you combine attributes of different animals together (think Jackalope, etc.) Thanks!

Anything can be found on Ebay. Even animal skins.

I’ve been rather unfortunate with pets over the last five years and I’d really like to give it a go.

Slightly off subject, but I thought I’d share anyway:
When I lived in S.A. we used to buy formaldehyde for about .60c and paint it on our nails to make them strong. Years later I returned to the U.K and popped into a chemist to ask for formaldehyde for my nails. Well the chemist kept me waiting and waiting and waiting, suddenly there were 4 police officers in the chemist, he had rang them because you can’t buy it in the U.K. and he thought I wanted it to embalm a dead body!

Removing the fat and flesh from a bear hide is essential. A fleshing machine is a very useful tool in every Taxidermy shop. The host of this video gives a brief demonstration of what a fleshing machine can do and explains what needs to be done after the fleshing and washing of a skin.

From the hobby taxidermist to the full time professional, a fleshing machine is a mandatory investment if you do any type of serious tanning and fleshing of skins, hides and capes. The machine is a real time saver and quickly pays for itself the first year in a busy taxidermy shop or for anyone that tans a lot of skins.

The full use and adjustment of the fleshing machine plus hours of hands on training are included in the taxidermy and tanning courses taught by us.
