   Howdy folks! I'm going to start ordering feeder rats, mice and rabbits to learn taxidermy with. Can anyone suggest a good website to order from that delivers taxidermy quality specimens? Cheers!

   Start at the pet store, you can buy live or frozen mice. Such small animals are more difficult to properly taxidermy because everything is miniaturized. It can be frustrating especially for a beginner. I think squirrels are a good place to start for mammal taxidermy. They are just the right size.

   And pretty durable. I would not start with a rabbit.
