    Default Donate your deceased critter to science.

    No joke.

    It happens to the best of us.

    If, unfortunately, your pet passes on, please consider donating the body to science.

    Place the body in a plastic bag with a small amount of distilled water and place it in the freezer.

    Then, send me a private message. I will send you shipping materials and a return label for free!

    I run a no-kill laboratory at a University, and we really need specimens for DNA sequencing, microbiota analysis, and more. We specialize in amphibian molecular biology research (amount other things) but I do not allow euthanasia of our critters for research.

    Ghoulish, I know, but I prefer to work with those that died of natural causes.

    Note: No axolotls please! We inherited extensive cryogenic samples from a now defunct lab. All other genera and species welcome!
    Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!

    Just amphibians, or other animals?

    Would wild frogs found dead be considered?

    I have some dead critters in the freezer but not with water... would that work? Or do they need to have been placed in water before hand?
