No… it’s all good. Keep in mind you are washing the hair mostly, and outer surface of the hide just gets wet for a short time ..If we leave the tanned skin in water for long period of times , then you could be concerned. But shampooing and rinsing is all good.
I Loved watching both part one and part two of these videos, well done. I am also a Fox Taxidermist :) , (Australia).
Thanks for watching. Greetings from Canada.

As a song by Walker Hayes says, “Taxidermy, now that’s art.” At least yours certainly is.
Were could I get black clay like that you used around the eyes and mouth. Thank you.
It’s not clay… it’s a two part epoxy putty. You can get them from Art suppliers. Mine is called Aves epoxy.
Excellent work as always ! Do you remove the ear cartilage ?
Thanks Robert. No I leave them in on animals like fox , lynx , bobcats and such. They are pretty thin that won’t cause any problems.
your stuff is always so nice but the nose on the fox is hard for me to look at .,sorry
Thanks for your opinion
