alanmin4304 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have a friend who is an artist and wants to clean up skeletons of small animals and fish using flesh eating beetles (Dermestes maculatus). I was told they would be present on the pigs ears etc in the pet food department but have been looking for a while and no luck. Does anyone have any or know where I might get enough to start a colony. Happy to pay a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markvs Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Try local renderer. Canterbury meat products, or I think there is another one, whose name escapes me. You will have to make sure that they are aware of the end use, as they may be touchy about allowing outsiders in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
