How to care for my taxidermy rat?
A happy taxidermied animal thrives in a bell jar or display case!
Caring for a taxidermy animal requires some precautions to maintain its appearance and longevity. Here are a few tips:
Avoid humidity: Keep the taxidermy in a dry place. Moisture can cause mold or deteriorate the materials.
Avoid direct light: Keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent fur and feathers from fading.
Regular cleaning: Use a soft duster or a brush with gentle bristles to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the skin.
Check for insects: Regularly inspect for pests and treat with anti-parasite products monthly if possible.
Limit handling: Frequent handling can cause damage, so avoid unnecessary touches to preserve its condition.
Proper storage: If you need to store it, wrap it in soft fabric and keep it in a place where it won’t be compressed.
These steps will help keep your taxidermy animal in excellent condition for years to come!
