How do you skeletonize small mammals/rodents to preserve the skeleton?

Asked by rojo (24179points) September 10th, 2013

Just looking for ideas. My grandaughter and I found a dead bat and a dead mole in the swimming pool this morning and since she was willing, in fact asked to hold them, I would to preserve the skeletons for her and see if we can foster an interest in science.
Ants maybe? Boiling? Anyone done this before? Any suggestions?
