Caught an albino shrew today, been catching a lot of short tailed shrews this year. Tried to show the pink eye.

I bet he'd be worth a few bucks to a taxidermist. Interesting looking little thing.

Cool

Very nice.

Very neat. Post your pics on Jacks Shrew thread too- he will love seeing this one. He just featured shrews on his Photo Phriday thread.

That really neat

Good idea Sharon, I never miss a photo Friday!!!!

Get it stuffed.

Shrews are the hardest thing to prepare because the internal digestion system rots from the inside out and the hair sluffs off if there was any pressure on the internal organs.
Freeze drying is the best bet

N 50, imagine how easy a flea would be to see on this one !

Very cool

That's about as cool as it gets. Good catch and good photos, Line Jumper. Thanks. Thanks too, to Sharon, for the heads up

Jack

Line Jumper. With over 80000 caught shrews of 9 species, I've never caught an albino. Way to go!!!

Jack

Wow that really puts it in perspective, thanks for the reply Jack!! I was hoping you would see it.

better gut it they slip very very easy

I put it in the freezer 4 hours ago, too late to gut.

Freeze dry Taxidermy Then

Fascinating!
Interesting little scamp

actually the short tail shrews usually do not carry many fleas...self groomers ?< dont know>
Winter weasels you can see them as they show through the thin skin and the hair is shorter.
