Oh right, sorry I didn't know this had previously been discussed! Just the way you wrote that post talking about how the fox is killed, then mentioned the other week like it had just happened

As an OT question, does anyone know a good way to bleach skulls without using peroxide? Rather bizarrely my OH is attempting to do this with some fox skulls at the mo and he keeps asking me about it, like I have ever felt the need to bleach bones in the past

well i put on that i went hunting, and forgot to mention drag so everyone jumped on me i used to go before the ban, and i go out drag hunting now.

have no idea about bleaching skulls

drag hunting sounds like something I would enjoy

its good fun

Do you dislike cats? orcas? as a general group because they seem to take pleasure in killing?

I think I know the answer already.

my cat always kills for enjoyment, very rarely does she eat what she kills.

Because they're not cute, fluffy and dog like in their appearance.

Try google

I'm sure the palaeontologist I know would have an answer...He's still...somewhere (lol) and won't be in the country for a couple weeks yet.

Wouldn't he be fossils not actual bones???

The recommended way to do it (i'm sure google would say the same) is 4% hydrogen peroxide, and he keeps pestering me to get some from the vet path labs i used to work in, but I can't be bothered, so was wondering if anyone had ever done it successfully another way (seems there are similar "hunting" type people on this thread


Anyway, back to fox hunting!

Depends how old the bones are and their state of preservation I presume.

He teaches anatomy and evolutionary biology, along with other things that make me think he'd have an answer, if there is one.

In other words, I don't think he just plays with dinosaurs and sabre toothed cats lol.

I'm going to have to ask him now, coz now I'm curious as to the answer.

What does your OH do that requires skull cleaning?


I've taken it further OT, oops.
