I have been given this poor decrepid Victorian squirrel to attempt to restore it..... Might need a miracle for this guy.

Name suggestions please
I'm thinking "crusty"

Some more photos from the Guild of Taxidermists conference.

And probably much more to come! I know this isn't a taxidermy account, but this is a form of wildlife art and I am a taxidermist soooo

I've seen people getting those messages and similar ones and wondering if they're legit.

They're not, they're scam. Never give out your account infos, they will steal your account.

Oni @onidraws.bsky.social · Aug 21

Ho look, a scam!

Hello, are you busy at the moment?

Hello yes I am busy, what do you want to talk about?
17:42

Hey! Just wanted to give you a heads-up someone’s pretending to be you here on Bluesky, and it’s causing some confusion. I’ve got proof to show you so you know what’s really going on.
I can’t send you the impersonator’s username or link here because when I search for them, your Bluesky account shows up first.
If you don’t mind, please add me on Discord: "doodledupe200" and I’ll share everything with you there. It’s easier to explain that way!
Thanks a lot! 🙌
18:11

you can share everything here, I don't give my discord

I can't send screenshots here :/

That's a shame :/
Goodbye then 👋
