Hey everyone!

Just to let you all know that I am very VERY busy right now, and although I am still working on filling orders, I only have 2-3 hours a day to get things done due to convention prep and other matters. Some process:

- I have completed a bunch of rabbit pelts, they are wet tanned and need re-hydrating/oiling.
- One soft mount rabbit complete, will take photos soon
- Goat pelts tanned, need stretching
- More things being salted, tanned and waiting to be finished
- Many more things to be listed for sale

I am a bit tight on money right now that I need for things such as printing, marketing, FOOD, bills ETC. I am mailing things when I can, the prices have gone up. We are also in the process of clearing out the workroom, so expect more things to go up for sale.

I have a bunch of frozen specimens for sale too, here: [link] (UK only)

Upcoming events:
MAY 2013
11th May:  Manchester meet (selling art)
15th May: Artwork deadline
20th May: Prints deadline
24th - 28th May: My sister's wedding (away from home)
29th - 6th May: Confuzzled 2013 (Convention - dealing art)

Above are my current commitments! I just wanted you guys to understand why I am so busy right now, as I believe communication is paramount!
Depending on my profits from Confuzzled, I may be able to refund some of you if you wish, by then.

Otherwise, I am looking at a June 30th deadline on ALL outstanding taxidermy orders. Anything not completed by then will be refunded in full.
I will be on a semi-hiatus until June 10th to allow me to catch up on everything!

If you need to contact me urgently, please email foxtrailtaxidermy@hotmail.co.uk !

Thanks for your time and co-operation!

FoxTrailTaxidermy's Profile Picture
*FoxTrailTaxidermy
Taxidermist
Artist | Professional | Varied
United Kingdom
I am a self-employed taxidermist living in rural Wales!

My aim is to mount specimens in a unique and life-like way. I take extra care to study live specimens, photographs and remains in order to understand the animal's anatomy and behavior as fully as possible.

I hold art degrees within animation and animal science. I am also experienced in animal husbandry, breeding, exotics, behavior and anatomy/physiology.

I am a registered member of the Guild of Taxidermists.

Services include:

:star: Quality small animal taxidermy
:star: Skin preparation and tanning
:star: Skull cleaning services - coming soon!
:star: Ritual tools for Spiritual use
:star: Exclusive items for sale

All specimens used by Fox Trail Taxidermy are obtained from reputable sources. These include natural deaths, road kill, pest-control, frozen reptile food and decreased breeding stock.

I regret that I have chosen to not mount pets, no exceptions.

Can I ask you a question? How did you get started in taxidermy? Was there anyone who ever doubted you and told you that it was silly to teach yourself?

Could you do a goat fur totem, like the ones with the fur in the vials? If so, how much would it be?

Do you mind if I post the photos you took of the pelts I commissioned? I just want to show what rabbits I will getting. All photo credit to you, of course :)

I've sent you two notes.

One with my address (which was posted 4 days ago and hasn't been touched), and one asking about a refund.
