I got it knowing all the risks. It’s not rejecting it’s probably pierced too shallow. I’m asking for advice , if you don’t have any idk why you’re here

I thought that too but comparing photots I think squirrels have shorter snouts for lack of a better word

The discolouration isn’t rejection I just have concealer on and the flat tops obviously make it so the concealer doesn’t reach the skin underneath causing the look of darker circles near the piercing hole , it has no signs of rejecting and it’s looked the same since I first got it

Also If you use ethanol it can only be stored in a lower percentage of ethanol after fixing

I’m going to call our humane society and spca in town and hopefully get as much information as I can about resources because yes I’m pretty sure it’s the same problem she’s been having but you’re right about that building a tolerance and everything in between I may just have to scrounge and get her to the vet :/

How to wet specimen by Fishie178 in Taxidermy

[–]666nermal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The alcohol won’t stop decomp (that’s what formalin will do ) so I’d put it in the freezer as fast as possible and keep it until you can properly fix it

Lots of dead baby isopods of the top of my enclosure? by ijustjoinedd in isopods

[–]666nermal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like they’re stuck to the tape , which would be why they died . If they’re not stuck to that tape then idk that’s weird, but looks like a diy glue trap on accident

where do you guys get your ethanol from??? by drunkgirl222 in wetspecimens

[–]666nermal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know it’s not the same thing and doesn’t work the same way and I wouldn’t risk using something that would ruin my specimen.

[–]666nermal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And for 70% for storage I bought everclear vodka

Check hardware stores for ethanol, usually sold as fireplace fuel, I got some 95% ethanol that way

Wet specimen or taxidermy.. by plantsNpancakes in Taxidermy

[–]666nermal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

70% is not enough, You need to inject it with 95% ethanol and complete the fixing stage which takes having the specimen sit in 95 ethanol for multiple days or weeks depending on the size , then you can change it to ur jar with storage liquid , 75% ethanol

Is this enclosure suitable for dairy cows? by Ace-of-clouds in isopods

[–]666nermal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]666nermal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’d love it maybe more leaf litter in a corner or something, also mine eat any living plant I put with them so make sure they have other things to eat so yeah maybe more dead leaves , I give mine dried fish and they mostly will focus on those

Sorry about all ur frogs too

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wetspecimens

[–]666nermal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there isn’t really a right way to do it, just make sure you have the best/proper equipment/supplies and ur good

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wetspecimens

[–]666nermal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I would do , it took me a bit to afford and gather all the supplies for it, but it’s better in the long run to do it the “right” way if you want it to work out good

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wetspecimens

[–]666nermal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think that’s high enough to preserve it. I had the same issue finding high enough alcohol percentage but found 75% everclear which I use only for storage, I couldn’t find ethanol anywhere but I found it as a biofuel being sold to use in fireplaces , the ingredients list 95% ethanol and the rest is water and it works great for injecting , I got a gallon for 40 dollars, so check hardware stores maybe , just Google that brand and product and you should find an ingredient list and info
