rachaelc Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hey guys and girls. Im looking for some specimens for taxidermy purposes - most things would be very much appreciated; game animals - birds, rabbits, ducks etc. crows/rooks/ and other 'pests' foxes .....that kind of stuff. I dont think id be able to take anything larger than fox/badger size as it wont fit in my freezer! I can travel to collect within around 1 hour radius of West Midlands/Birmingham. I also go to Nottingham quite alot, so if you are in any of those places i can collect from you. If not then i will pay for postage costs. Im thinking of between £5 and £15 depending what animals (plus postage if necessary) As i dont intend to waste much of the animal, im not too fussed if it has a hole in it. If its blown to pieces then its not really much use though. I generally get animals from frozen reptile food stores (so mostly rats and mice, occasional bird), and i think it might be nice to work with something that was once wild. thanks in advance Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Odd this... I was just driving back from walking the dog, thinking that I should get him done when he's gone. If you're still on here in 7 years, expect a PM :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
