Hello! During May of this year, I found a fox and buried it to wait for it to decompose. I have no prior experience in burying any animals for decomposure so I am completely unaware of what timeframe to expect. I am aware she will not be completely decomposed by now, however if anyone has any experience with foxes it would be great if you shared!
For reference:
she was rather small
buried about 30-50cm underground
in a black bin bag, tore it in a few places to allow decomposers to get in at her
the weather here is very humid and wet
looking to dig her up at a point where there's likely not going to be many flesh bits left or anything- i can wait many years
also if anyone has any tips for cleaning bones they'd be very helpful! my only experience has been cleaning a bit of mud off of bones (and soaks), since i find most of my bones without anything on them where something's picked them clean.
if nothing has stolen parts of her i should end up with the whole skeleton, which would be lovely! mostly excited about the skull :)
