[@OutdoorExperiences]

Interested in a dermestid beetle enclosure for skull taxidermy to make some money? We sell them! Located in Minnesota we find the freezer, clean, install, and test run the enclosures for weeks to make sure they are ready to plug in at your location and work. We can also sell them with or without beetles in them it is up to you! Email us for details! Shipping is not available but could deliver if within a reasonable distance! If you want to see some of our work check out our enclosure videos! Great way to get into taxidermy!

Both muskrats and beavers are quite selectively adapted to their habitat as their habitat (Plant Associations) are broadly crucial Families of Native Flora vegetative propagation as well as their diet. Cattails, Sedges, Rushes, Equisetums, and other nutrient fixers, as in gross primary production relates to the yearly nature of it's Seasons, these two Keystone Species of freshwater habitats definitively have selected niches that do compliment each other well, (mutualistic), may need communal nests to survive winter nights, and other items I have observed. Spring's productivity is food stuffs, nesting materials, bulbs, slowing water flow, creating canal, creating deeper near shore depths, their activities also benefit fish for spawning beds using their remains from underwater food caches, fallen trees, channel diversity, as they like deeper water for escape routes.

[@ronward3949]

Mutual and sympatric when territories and as territories often border each other both of these Riparian/Wetland, marsh, bog, and other freshwater ecosystems as a driving force of sedmitation, nutrient functioning, egg laying of Insects, cover for insects and downed Vegetative materials being browsed and selected for to retain and detain water flow as nutrientws move downstream enabling saturation zones debris and flood materials to also usr for shelter, cover, egg laying, metamorphosis of Insects and crayfish all vital filter feeders and sediment depositions.

Thanks for the comment

[@Austin.Kilgore]

Raccoons??? They hunt muskrats? I’ve always thought of Raccoon as more of scavengers or only hunts animals that are easier prey, such as chickens.

[@OutdoorExperiences]

True they are, but if your muskrats dispatched in a trap or caught in one they will help themselves

[@curtis9262]

Muskrat..more like MUSTrat ammiright 😅😅😅😅

[@curtis9262]

Cuz they smell 😂😂😂

[@Maeeeeeeeee]

Why would I trap something that I know lives in my neighborhood and are why people visit?

[@OutdoorExperiences]

Then don't trap them

[@lesliehilesgardener6959]

Killing is not what I would want to do....I do like pelts

[@OutdoorExperiences]

Understandable it isn't for everyone, just like butchers and farmers as well
