I just found an intact mouse in my friend’s backyard. Most likely from her cat. Like any sane person, I want to collect its bones. I live in an apartment on the campus of my university. It doesn’t seem like oxidizing it is an option because I have nowhere to put it where the smell wouldn’t bother anyone. While obviously it will smell one way or another, are flesh-eating beetles a good option? Ideally, I would want this process to be done with as fast as possible. I have no intention to use the beetles after this. What are their life spans? I don’t want to release them after I am done with them.
