Best nost informative video and kit i have seen yet. My 1st time wanting to try taxidermy to see if i like it and work on squirrel first, got a trophy squirrel in the woods right now i wanna use for food/mount and i cant wait to see how i do
Thank you for this video! We killed the squirrel this evening. We didn't know if we should skin the squirrel right away or not. After watching this video, we know to measure it and put it in the freezer, then order the kit and go from there. Thanks again. We'll be visiting your website to order the kit right now.
So today walking home from school and in front of my driveway i found a squirrel that was ran over. The body is noce and the only plwce that was ran over ove the head. Its a very fluffy squirrel so i messeged my dad and asked him if i could attempt to skin it and possibly mount it. He told me to do some research and i want to purchase your guys kit. Thanks for all the info

Come on, I know this was made as a comedy skit. Listen to them, assemble frozen dead squirrel with their kit for family fun. I can not stop laughing. Do not worry, the frozen dead squirrel will stay preserved for fun in the future.
This man is a genius, and an artist. Quit calling him. Practice practice practice, the worst case, you have some good meat and at the very least a hide.
I measured and skinned it without any trouble only thing i had trouble with was the fleshing with the butter knife. I couldnt get it going got frustrated after about an hour so i just stuck it in the freezer ill try again soon
Bought a mounting kit, the manikin was broken, their solution was for ME to fix it. They ship knowing things will break. What a company!!

I'm gonna have to take a trip from Lafayette to Sandy Hollow and get a few of the blaze face squirrels to mount.
I am from Nottingham in the UK Just wondering how much it is the postage
Love the video's Very informative👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
How much is the kit
How do u do the feet do u leave the bones in or cut them out
how do I get one and you should do a video on a kitt from start to finish with a squirrel
To get the kit go into the link in their description and they posted a video on how to do it start to finish

How'd it come out?
There's no squirrel in my kit. LOL
Do you all have a website? Or how can I contact you all to see about ordering one of your kits once I get better at skinning?
Oh.... Found the website in the description, but it doesn't "link" when I tap it.

here is some info if you need it, & you can delete my comment after you get it
TLDR = if you find a baby squirrel warm it up, so you can return it
to its mom & or safely rehydrate it, so you can safely give it formula
baby squirrels can't stay warm, drink, eat, or eliminate without help till 90 days old
mom will not reject a baby for your scent BUT MOM WILL REJECT A COLD BABY,
so
bring it inside to warm it up to human body temperature & Reunite it with mom if you can, ,
look up "Reuniting tree squirrel babies with their mom" mary cc squirrels reunite
if this fails seek out a wildlife rehabilitator for help & if all of that also fails use
its weight in grams divided by 20 to set how many cc's to feed it every 2 hours &
to prevent aspiration pneumonia feed it via 1 - 3 CC oral syringe feeder lying tummy down please , look up
2018/09/11 example video , "Thirsty baby squirrel!" Jasmin121176 , & rehydrate it for a day using Pedialyte ,
they NEED mom or formula to supply adequate nutrition till they reject it at 10 weeks old
a FAST growing baby squirrel needs wildlife grade formulas used in a zoo like "fox valley day one "
or DIY 24 hour perishable 3 parts goats milk, 1 part yogurt 1 part heavy whipping cream
or a very few puppy formulas will work , (Goat's Milk Esbilac? ) but NOT just "Esbilac "
a squirrels weight in grams is 20 times the safe stomach capacity in ml & cc's per feeding so
find its weight in grams divide it by 20 , & thats the number of ML/CC's to feed each meal this
"5 percent rule" stomach capacity to weight ratio quantity as each meal only works if you use a metric gram scale
at 6 weeks of age let it practice gnawing solids like; fruits, monkey chow, & dry Puppy science diet.
at 8 week of age test if a baby squirrel can drink water from a shallow container AND crack a nut
look up 1X1X2 foot nesting box & 4X4X7 foot pre-release cage so you can slowly free it,
because after 6 months of age squirrels become unpleasantly wild
There is some good information on the Internet, but other sites
give advice that will kill the animals & some do this on purpose
Cow’s milk, goat’s milk, human baby formulas, & "most" other pet products lack nutritional value,
are less digestible & boiling or scalding them wont fix it over the long term of 2 months
these eventually WILL cause failure to thrive, MDB , & death due to malnutrition
squirrels don't get & or survive rabies long enough to give it & head trauma mimics rabies
baby squirrels can be fearless & very sociable, so, its only an orphan if it pursues or climbs you,
or a pet BUT stop ANY pets from touching it since digestive & oral bacteria can kill it

What a stupid comment 🤦
Do you have any squirrel skin for sale I need one for a competition

I measured and skinned it without any trouble only thing i had trouble with was the fleshing with the butter knife. I couldnt get it going got frustrated after about an hour so i just stuck it in the freezer ill try again soon
You could try a not sharp pocket knife I find that works so much better and easier

Wished I'd stumbled upon this video months ago! I made a wet specimen of a squirrel my lovely rasist neighbors threw on my front door
