I am looking to atempt to mount 2 baby racoons and was wondering if anybody knows where I might find the forms to do that?

By the time you start seeing baby coon's round here the season is closed.

There are a few smaller forms listed here, I don't know how small your "baby"raccoons are.

Janderson 76,

If the raccoons are too small to order a “form” from one of the taxidermy supply companies, just make

your own.  It’s not really that hard to do, either wrap one, or carve one using carving foam. I always thought that was the fun part of taxidermy anyways, learning a new tip, or techniques in mounting something.

thank you for the info i really appreciate the help I've never done anything like this just thought it would be fun to try.

I used to make my own forms for small animals using fine wood excelsior wrapped around wire then wrapped with string. Haven't had time to play with this craft in a while though.

I remember years ago I found a young raccoon that had recently died. I had planned to mount it standing on its hind legs with a toy gun in one hand and a small bag of money in the other. Unfortunately, before I got a chance to do anything with it, the motor went out on my freezer and everything in it spoiled before I knew about it.

wow slay...that had to stink a little..my condolences
