How long is too long to soak a small mammal skull in peroxide. I have accidentally forgot teeth in for 2 weeks, but not the skull. Wondering if it will eventually break down!

Depending on the strength of the peroxide it really shouldn't do much harm..
Then again I work with 12% peroxide and I know the guys here work on higher strengths so I'm not completely sure.

I don't think it will hurt it at all,I was doing a littler experimenting and put a raw mouse skull in some straight BO, it was in there for probably two months with no damage.At least no immediate damage, no idea if there will be long term effects.

I have found that real long soaks in high strength stuff has damaged tooth enamel on some animals. Soaking for a week should be fine and you shouldn't need more time than that anyway.
