Food?
150 mice, 50 chicks and 25 rats have just been ordered for one little ferret. This should keep him happy for some time to say the least.

The natural 'whole prey food' diet has certainly kicked off with a charm. Not only are almost all his previous stool problems gone, he seems happier, more active and alter. Plus, his coat looks so shiny!

It took some convincing with Gareth, and he's still not sure about it.. but when I fed him his first 'big' prey (small rat) yesterday he was ecstatic. Full of energy before and after, and everything was cleaned up, not a single hair left.





Oscar has a strange obsession for hiking boots


No.. really


Base of boot has been destroyed.. mission accomplished


NOM NOM NOM



And, as of a few days ago, my Taxidermy website is finally up and running;



Please go and check it out, and see if it works alright for you. Let me know if there's thing that bother you and you think need changing.

My sickness is finally flowing away. I still have some dry coughs, but after last night's fever washed over me I do feel a lot better today. Hopefully I can now catch up on commissions again.

And also on the site, a picture of the monster fox;

You need back buttons on each topic (Info for example) that has subtopics and you need to put a copyright text on each page just in case anyone gets "ideas".

Also, title your website in your browser. It only says "Index" on the IE tab.

I would make the buttons move when you go over them with the mouse. And make the gallery section pictures turn color when you go over them. Easthetical purposes of course. It looks better. :)

Why is it a 'monster' fox?

http://users.livejournal.com/_graywolf_/302859.html there's the post relating to the skin

The fox was the size of a small dog, and had a really wide muzzle

Beautiful site! If I may just be so bold as to point to a few things:

General: Personally I'd prefer a different font for all the text. If you want to keep this one, don't use italic (like with the descriptions of the gallery pics for instance). It makes the text so ... grainy and reduces the legibility.

Typos:
* Info/How does it work? "they have to asses how the animal has met it's death". I'd pick 'assess' and 'its'
* FAQ/First question: "From a young age at my birth home in the Netherlands I was collecting everything I could find from". Lose the last from.
* FAQ/First question: "a lot of helps from the federation members" Don't you mean 'help'?
* FAQ/First question: "after a year of experimenting about". I'd lose 'about' if I were you.
* FAQ/First question: "Experience and love for the art of taxidermy grew kept growing from there" Either 'grew' or 'kept growing'. I like the latter better.
* FAQ/First question: "helping novices at the twice annual workshop weekends". I'd say "helping novices at the workshop weekends twice a year."
* FAQ/Expensive items: "It won’t last you as long as a professional mount would". I'd say "It wouldn't last as long as a professional mount."
*Pricelist/Jewelry: "possibilities are nearly endless". I'd swap nearly for virtually.
*Contact/Visiting: "to make an appointment visit the workshop". Appointment TO visit....
*Contact/Visiting: "or to make a appointment" *an* appointment, and add a point after appointment to end the sentence.

*Our email address is graywolf_howl@hotmail.com. A business email at a free provider like hotmail or gmail always has a 'dodgy' taint. Spend a little more on your provider and get a few emails like 'info@taxidermyni.com' and 'sales@...'. This same advice goes for your corset- and craftshops.

Hope this helps! Don't work too hard :)

... the "Mouse Trophy" is hilarious. :D

The thumbnails for the image galleries take sometimes ages to load completely(they stay in a greyed out state or dissappear at the "mouse over", if you click on them, they didn't display the large image in the viewer window).

The size of the muzzle looks very similar to the fox one. Gorgeous dog :)

And no worries :) I know you're busy and all... heck, most of the time I'm up to my neck as well

Only one comment on the site..is it Houwers Taxidermy, or should it be Houwer's Taxidermy ?

Houwers is correct :) Houwers is the complete surname, so otherwise it would be Houwers' or Houwers's

Oscar is so CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!! XD
... and that fox is wonderful; anyway, you should put something to compare the size with. ;)

Sorry for this delay about my comment, I didn't have much time to write anything :P

PS: Did you receive my E-mail? I know you're busy, it's just to know if my program works or not (I had some lil problems lately) XD
