Calling someone a "rat" is generally seen as a bad thing but is it really? Rats are complex, loving and intelligent creatures that have a case of bad reputation. Without companionship rats tend to become lonely and depressed. They are even known to take care of injured and sick rats in their group. Rats also have an excellent memory and once they learn a navigation route, they won't forget it. Most people we know can ever remember what they had for lunch. As for the myth that rats are filthy, they are actually extremely clean animals, spending several hours every day grooming themselves and their group members. They are less likely than cats or dogs to catch and transmit parasites and viruses (minus that whole black death fiasco but we now know it was the fault of the fleas. Not the rats).

All skulls and bones vary slightly in size and shape. You will receive a high quality specimen of the selected item but not the exact one pictured.

All orders ship same or next business day with exception to oversized items. Those items will be identified in the description (Items such as large taxidermy, skulls or exceedingly heavy minerals).

If the subtotal of your order is over $98 the shipping is free (the discount is applied automatically to the cart at checkout)

If there is an issue with your order or something arrives damaged, we will refund or replace the item.

Oversized items are only available for pick-up or if you arrange the shipping yourself. This will be indicated in the item description. However, we do have a very reliable and affordable option for shipping. For more information, please click here. We can also work with a shipping provider of your choosing.
