We clean bones! That might be a skull, a trophy or a whole skeleton. We don’t do traditional taxidermy (where they make your animal look real and alive again) but we are members of the New Zealand Taxidermy Association and have gained awards at their national competitions for our skeletons.

The Fox’s Trousers cleans skulls without boiling, meaning the process takes some time. We believe the product is higher quality cleaned without boiling, making the extra time worth the wait. The above pricing does not include any kind of mounting board or stand. This can be organised as well but should be discussed – please email us thefoxstrousers@gmail.com
