How to Find a Stuffed Taxidermy Squirrel

A stuffed taxidermy squirrel can be a whimsical way to add some fun to your home.  Strategically placed, the squirrel can be a conversation piece as well as a design element that provides years of enjoyment.  Fortunately, there are several ways to find the ideal squirrel without spending a lot of itme or effort.

• Contact local taxidermists.  One of the best ways to find a stuffed taxidermy squirrel quickly and easily is to visit local taxidermy shops that sell a range of carefully preserved animals.  There is a good chance that at least one taxidermist will have a squirrel or two on hand, allowing you the chance to determine if they have what you have in mind for your home. 


• Check with local and state associations.  If there is not a taxidermist nearby, consider contacting associations of taxidermists in your region.  There is a good chance you’ll find at least one taxidermy shop within a reasonable driving distance of your home.  Often, associations have listings that include telephone numbers and email addresses that you can use to initiate communication with shops in the area, and possibly find out who has what you are looking for.


• Go to yard and estate sales.  All sorts of treasures are found at these types of events, including animals preserved by means of taxidermy.  With a little luck, you may come across a perfectly preserved squirrel that is just right for your home.


• Pay a visit to some online auction sites.  When local and regional resources prove to be less than helpful in your search for the ideal stuffed taxidermy squirrel, try some auction sites.  Focus attention on auctions that provide details about the squirrel as well as some images.  This approach can allow you to shop for a squirrel at your convenience and even have it delivered directly to your door.
