Can Taxidermy Be Weighted?

I’m not sure what you mean by “weighted.” If you mean can something be added to make the mount heavier, the answer is yes. There are a number of materials that can be used but you need to talk with whoever you are using to mount the rabbit and have them add the material during the mounting process. Anything added after it is mounted would require cutting it open and possibly removing some of the material the taxidermist used for the form. A little better explanation of your question would be helpful.

 

Depends on how long you want to wait?

 

Put lead in it like fishing weights. Are you going to use it as a door stopper?

 

Why do you want to weight it?

 

Sure cut in half, carve out the center, fill with whatever weights you like, glue back and mount.

 

If it were me. I'd cut it in half fill each half with weights and then make book ends. Especially with Easter coming.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you're having your rabbit done as a soft mount rather than a traditional mount. A pouch full of plastic microbeads in the stomach can be added to give the critter some weight.

 

Lost me on this one.

 

Can't be that important, hasn't responded in 10 days.

 

Livy apparently came and went. Created an account, made a post and was never on here again. I'd guess that more important things have come about than a heavy rabbit.
