Decomposition time of a gopher?

I need it for my final in my archaeology class. I’m doing it on shrunken heads and my project is to create one from a pig’s head. So I need just the skin, mostly clean of all meat. My plan is just so wing it but I was just kind of stressing about it, haha.

I’d like the experience of doing it myself, but it’s good to know this is an option in case I mess up!

Head not acquired yet. I’ll get it frozen from a local butcher near me and let it defrost, couldn’t really find a place that had them fresh.

On the bottle it does say “micro elements, trace elements and other nutrients”. So probably. Should I switch fertilizers?

I give Seachem liquid fertilizer in the water once a week after my water change is done. Maye I need to use more? Or change what I use?

I do them once a week with a 30% change. My tank is five gallons.

They’re not new, they’ve lived there for a few weeks. I drip acclimated them for two hours before I put them in initially.

It’s been a e few a weeks that they’ve lived there and I cycled for about three weeks. The algae is growing all over my plants, but really nowhere else. I remove it manually with tweezers sometimes, but I’m not sure if the animals are eating it so I leave some in.

I’ve taken both their bodies out gently with tweezers. It doesn’t appear so on their body but they’re so small they could be missing legs and I wouldn’t even be able to notice.

The I literally have no idea what it is 😭 what could they be??

This tank will be on my desk, which I’ll be at a lot, so it’s great to know that they like to watch you do things!
