Owner Kenneth Kirkham said the items were worth about $40,000.
"The owner of the shop did have a few suspects in mind and we're looking into them," said Detective Dennis Nelson of the Orem Police Department.
Nelson said investigators have also contacted the dealers in the state that are licensed to sell exotic animal skins, asking them to watch for anyone trying to sell the items taken from Kirkham's shop.
In the week since the burglary, Nelson said whoever took the items probably hasn't been keeping them in hiding the whole time.
"It wouldn't surprise me if whoever took them has shown them to somebody. They're the kind of things that people show off," Nelson said.
