are the antlers real, if so have they been naturally shed ?

The antlers are, according to the description, "Authentic Antler Reproduction". They are very life-like in their appearance but obviously man made. We love them in the dining room.

No. I have one in our collection that has been through three children that have nibbled a bit and she has not lost any fur. Even in the washing machine.

They have a slight matalic oder if any at all. We have used them in an area with a large black bear population and haven't been visited by any.

Yes, the bow strings are from real horse hair. If you want to be 100% certain, you can go to their website by typing in "Kennedy Violins" on google and contact them to ask if they are real or not, but in most case, especially if the violin itself is not a VSO (Violin Shape Object), then the bow should be real as well.

I'd say they are the same as any natural chew item. A bit more when it's damp. BUT, my dog was alarmed by the scent, likely because he had never encountered anything that smelled like this before. He is normally crazy for traditional rawhide. But Elk was a new scent for him. I wouldn't avoid this product because of it's natural scent . . . and I would call it that, a scent as opposed to an ordor . . . and keeping in mind that a dog's sense of smell is so much more keen than ours as humans. As a person, you would definitely have to pick it up and sniff it in order to smell it. Hope this helps!

In don't think they're natural. They are very thin the clips are not sewed in well. The hair basically looks oily can't do anything to it the length is 22 inches its about 6 pieces. Not worth your money.

No it is simply an antler. It's a good quality. I will definately recommend.

My dog has been working on hers about 2 months and it's lost maybe an inch in length (started about 8 inches). She's a German Shepher/Husky mix, so she has a fairly strong jaw, but she's 4 years old, so she's also not chewing as frequently as a dog under 1 year might. My boss buys elk antlers for her rottweilers and they typically last those very strong (but older) dogs several months. If you're looking to get an antler, elk is definitely the species you want as they are the most dense and last the longest. White tail antlers don't tend to be much cheaper but are much softer and don't last nearly as long I've found from experience.

Nope, its a whole antler :) it takes my 100lb doberman months (like 5!!!) to get thru these things!

No, but I can't see them ever wearing out. Keep them clean with the brush provided and maybe add a drop of lightweight oil once in a while and they should last for years.

Seem's real. Bones, claws etc... Came off of an organic being for sure. Rabbit? One hopes. Hate to think I have a groundhog foot in my pocket!

No, they are thick and the leather is really dry. I have had to old it several times.

They are meant to look slightly dramatic, but still natural. They are real hair, so they feel natural and move like their natural. But they are pretty long. I trim a pair to wear during the day, but leave them as is if I wear a pair at night.

Yes it's true but beware they're thin and shed easily. Good for the price though. Need both packs to look full in my opinion.

Yes, they are. From the company's website: http://www.naturesplus.com/products/productdetail.php?productNumber=3421&criteria;=keywordSearchResults

Unfortunately, they are indeed made from some type of fur, and it could very well be rabbit. When I purchased them, I thought they were made of yarn, but then when I received them, this was not the case.

yes, but to be honest I was disappointed with this brand antler. Price is nice but quality is poor, I honestly questioned if it's authentic, my dog had lots of stomach issue with this particular brand, but he also has sensitive gut.
