I've had a lot of luck letting the flesh rot off. Definitely not a pleasant experience (I wouldn't be able to do it this way if I didn't have an old chicken coop so it's isolated smell and scavenger wise) but the bones turn out beautifully with a rinse and a light peroxide wash. Again, not pleasant, but after the carcass or limb has been sitting in a bucket of water for 2-3 months it's a piece of cake

I think you would get a kick out of some of it.
Maybe I can fit in some of the tame stuff :p

So you just throw hole thing in water pull it out and wash it? Do they stay intact like the bugs do? I heard of taking them apart then soaking them

I'm not sure I'd call it intact. All the pieces are there! By the time I rinse/wash it's a pretty foul cocktail, but all the gooey/fleshy parts come off with very little effort, and no damage to the skeleton. I don't have any experience with beetles, just didn't have the resources (or bug friendly house) to do it in but I think it would be kind of fun to have a different kind of functional pet
And it is absolutely an art!

So you would glue the bones together or the wire and glue method? Sorry lots of questions just trying to start getting into skeleton articulation. I'm watching aferica on discovery and wow I want a rino skull and as I type this I feel as tho saying that makes me weird haha
