What is the process of taxidermy? Can it work on a hamster?

Altruist asked:

I am so heart broken! My good luck hamster died yesterday. I used to take her everywhere. I put her in the freezer to preserve her. I want to use taxidermy to turn her into a key chain. What is the best way to do this?
Thank you. What is an inexpensive medium I can use to preserve the skin? Would pickle juice work?

How do I preserve a duck’s head? ?

I want to mount the head of the first duck I ever shot, just to have a silly mount. I kind of want to do it myself, because I’m poor and cheap. It’s in my freezer. Can I get a home taxidermy kit or something? How about just somehow removing the flesh and having the skull and bill? (Will the bill rot away, or is it bone? What do I do with the tongue?) Thanks a lot for the help!
