MOUNTING SMALL AND MICRO-MAMMALS IS very demanding. To avoid or at least reduce the shrinkage, especially for the small mammal group, there have been developed some different methods with often good results. But for some taxidermists, the use of pure polyethylene glycol (PEG) is not sufficient, a vacuum pump isn’t at hand, or a freeze dryer isn’t available. The method which I will describe should be usable in nearly every taxidermy studio without the need for expensive equipment.
