What I was wondering is what you would recommend using to reattach them, if anything at all. <br /><br />Thanks, SierraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023165488300476594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555266887965093019.post-62791152510314284412016-02-01T14:05:28.632-05:002016-02-01T14:05:28.632-05:00Kayla DeRamus - Everything you see here on my blog...Kayla DeRamus - Everything you see here on my blog is how I process cat skeletons.

I plan on getting into bone stuff at some point in the future because it's really interesting but I rarely find dead stuff so I don't really know where to start. That being said, when my cat dies, I want to be able to keep her skeleton to remember her by sorta? I hope that makes sense. What options would I have for defleshing her? I don't know if carrion insects really live around here, and while I'm not super squeamish cutting up my cat would be sorta weird and also messy as I don't exactly know how I would go about that. Any help is much appreciated!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127945612907088852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555266887965093019.post-23195918726628574482015-12-14T05:55:41.075-05:002015-12-14T05:55:41.075-05:00Thousand thanks Jana, I really appreciate your tim...Thousand thanks Jana, I really appreciate your time :)Cookernupastormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682623845957898657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555266887965093019.post-48128257115800158082015-12-13T21:51:06.987-05:002015-12-13T21:51:06.987-05:00Hi Elisabeth!

If you were to use hydrogen peroxide, yes, it would likely remove the color inside and out. I honestly don't know what else you could do than using a different antler… or experimenting with different sealants although I suspect it may not work as the peroxide can still get to it from the inside. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I tried searching your blog but after coming up empty handed, was wondering if I might get on your advice on something.<br /><br />I've cut one of the antlers I found this autumn into small discs, but found that while the bone inside was in great condition, the colour is quite dark. Do you have any ideas how I could efficiently whiten the stained-looking middle part of the antler discs, while still leaving the beautiful dark brown of the outer side untouched? If I do the usual soak I will lose the beautiful dark brown of the edges, so I was wondering if there is maybe some substance I can use to protect the edges.<br /><br />I fully understand if you don't have time to get back to me, you must be very busy. I thought I would leave a comment just in case, since you seem very knowledgable about this subject :) Have a great day!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029003195318291071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555266887965093019.post-61260192283135663422015-12-13T02:27:24.855-05:002015-12-13T02:27:24.855-05:00Hi, I honestly very rarely work with any raw anima...Hi, I honestly very rarely work with any raw animal heads that have horns. I also rarely polish them. I highly suggest taking a look at what people say about those things at taxidermy.net<br /><br />If they are not raw the horn sheaths may be even harder to remove. I will say I advise again maceration to remove them as it can destroy the quality of the horn sheath. Also keep in mind that you will not be able to remove the horn sheaths from all animals.<br /><br />Look up "sweating" off animal horns and maybe that will help.

What do I need to do to remove and preserve the horns? I also have some ram skulls but understand these are processed differently? I am a beginner and experimenting with different techniques but don't want to take chances on these beautiful specimens. Any information you could provide on horns for various animals would be greatly appreciated. Cookernupastormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682623845957898657noreply@blogger.com
