The animals I use died a natural, acidental or inevitable dead. Some were pets some were pests or food/feed waste or byproducts from eg. fisheries or egg industries. Long story short, the animals and animal parts I use in my art would otherwise be wasted. This is the only form of ethical taxidermy that I find truly ethical.

I am pretty well aware of most rules and regulations (including Australia) and as a licenced taxidermist I can legally ship almost all items everywhere.
Please note that regulations are guiding when it comes to contents and labelling of the parcel. Parcels are labelled exacty for what is inside and packaging complies with rules (so no fancy wrapping or confetti, safety first). The obvious paperwork will be included (this includes ao the invoice, also when the gift option is selected). It remains the responsibility of the buyer to be sure that any item purchased is accepted by your country.

Taxidermy: should be kept dry, away from direct sunlight and heat. For pelt cleaning we recommend a brushing from time to time to keep it in perfect shape.
Mummified animals: are coated with resin, waterbased coat or only treated against insects. Just dust them, never use water or solvents.
It is advised for all taxidermy, bones, mummified items or other dry animal containing materials to routinely (eg yearly) do a preventive anti-insect treatment.

Our products are for display only. We are not responsible for any misuse, damage, or injuries resulting from improper use. Keep out of reach of children, animals, and irresponsible individuals.

Most specimen come with liquid but some larger ones have to be drained due to shipping restrictions that apply for alcohol. Diaphonised specimen always come fully filled.
It is always stated clearly in the listing if a specimen comes without liquid inside. Refilling is easy and detailed refilling and care instructions are included and if any questions arise or remain you can always drop me a note.

Keep all specimens away from naked flames, extreme temperatures and out of direct sunlight.
ALWAYS wear gloves and eye protection when changing fluids and/or handling specimen outside of the container. Work in a well ventilated area and be aware that ethanol is highly flammable

Once your item has shipped, we are not responsible for any delays incurred by the postal service/shipping provider and/or customs.

Please be aware that we are not responsible for stolen packages. If mail theft is a known problem in your area, please select a secure shipping address when purchasing.

Only if you have purchased the tracked and insured shipping option and tracking information for your package confirms the package has been "delivered" but you have not received it, please contact us to arrange a refund. In order to qualify for this refund, you will need to file a missing mail report with the shipping provider , as well as a police report. Proof of BOTH reports must be provided to us before a refund is issued.

Despite their appeal these are NOT TOYS, my work is for DISPLAY ONLY and not intended for children or pets or anyone who might use it any other way then as a display item. Please keep my work out of the reach of children, pets, drunk or intoxicated people etc.

Donating deseased animals: Please contact me prior shipping any deseased animals to verify if I can accept the animals. I have a limited space in my freezer and need to document the species, origin and cause of death due to ethical and regulatory reasons.
