(beginner) Mouse advice?

Hi all,

I have no experience in taxidermy at all beyond some very simple pinned bugs and invertebrates.

I just found this poor little mouse on the ground (dont worry, I did not touch it.)

Could I preserve it in any way that doesnt require borax (not easily available in my country) or intense cutting? I dont mind if its just bones or not.

Additionally, I'll be home in a few hours and Im afraid it's gonna start stinking a lot soon. Would you say I should just toss it for lack of ready supplies and give up??

Thank you so much
