Are these worth anything extra? Or just skin them?

I just skin and ship those, but we can't really sell to taxidermists like in the USA so maybe check taxidermy.net

Just happy to be here.

Taxi Got to be worth more than $2-3

Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I would dry and freeze whole. Usually get $50 -75 for platinum or pibalds. Not sure about the two half sized ones.
Sometimes when you locate a pocket of weird ones you’ll catch more in future years. 3 in one day is pretty nuts.

Two of them look like kits to me.

I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

1 of the smaller ones might go medium. The other is a kit.

Caught 2 of them on the same house and the other on a feed bed close by.

The bellies are very white.

Trap them out.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Hey.....if they're even a little bit white, they're ALL white!!! That's how it works with the natives around here.

Life ain't supposed to be easy.

They look like possum! I'd buy the big one from you, just because I don't have any off colored ones on my wall yet. Joel

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Cleaned out all the white rats, so now its just half white ones???

Pretty cool with the pink feet and partial pink tails! I have to imagine they would go well to a taxidermist.
