Thread: Anyone do their own Taxidermy?

Any of you fulahs doin ya own taxidermy?? i see the nz prices are fairly high , but once you compare to aud , it works out slightly higher on average but it also seems ther is only a handful of reputable taxi's in most areas?

Victoria is going into lockdown stage 3 and 4 again, ive been busy during lock down, may show and tell in due time.

keen to see or hear of ya attempts!?

I have done a few euro mounts but that's about it, not a lot to it but they look pretty good

haha, yehhh, not quite just the euro-ing

some i did

Ive tried a couple with zero experience under my belt, and as you would expect the results are terrible. Completely ruined this awesome piebald(?) rabbit skin, but at least it is an object of comedy. My pet birds like to cuddle up to it and chew on the hide.

I think the best one I have ever done was on my pet mouse Charlie and he still looks like somewhat of an abomination with one of his front teeth missing and a bruised section of tail. He is a christmas tree topper on occasion.

Theres always some sick bastard looking for that stuff , so il ask on behalf of my mate ....how much $ do you want for Charlie or better yet both of them ?.... im thinking talking piece for the man cave , what say you a box of beer ?

Haha sorry mate, Charlie and the drugged up bunny are sentimental household items and don't have a price tag. I actually remember seeing someone's terrible taxidermy job on a ferret in a second hand store, it was hilarious. I regret not buying it now.
