Dermestid Beetle questions....
Anyone here use them for deer skulls...??
We did a few years ago and I think only bought $50 or so worth of beetles (colony of 600 maybe), but I've read that you need at least 25,000 to do a deer skull. That gets pricey, but I'd assume after awhile the beetles would increase their number if you care for the colony properly.
I don't remember if we had a very long 'build up' time or not, but we have four skulls to clean.
