Would love to have a skunk. Had a ferret and he was awesome but a little high strung. I think a skunk would be more my speed these days.

Here we can keep one as a pet or buy one from a breeder.

Thats pretty cool, my only skunk adventure was one night at camp I had to go outside to use the "facilities" A skunk was trying to take off with a game bag of deer meat I had hanging, a little too low, in a spruce tree.

Yelling at it didn't phase it, lol, I finally got on one end with a drag hook and we played tug of war for awhile till it figured I wasnt giving up and waddled off. Never threatened to spray or get nasty, just wanted the meat, lol

Good story- you probably could have distracted him with almost anything edible. The only reason I ended up with one was after its siblings and mother got flooded out and I found a tiny kitten dehydrated and starving. As soon as it was hunting on its own (grubbing) I let it go in the back pasture next to an old pump house if could hide under if it wanted.

It make a funny little half purring / half cooing sound when it knew you had brought something to eat making me think they must have a good nose b/c they don't see too far.

Did Petunia hold still for you while you de-scented her?

Why are you feeding it a booger?Give it a hot dog or something.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

"Mindy" was not overly picky but because she was so poor when I found her, I often shared breakfast with her. She loved raw bacon or lapping up the bowl I had beaten some eggs in.

It timed out nicely- after she started putting weight on and her coat improved- my part of Texas had a great year for big grasshoppers and a giant cricket bloom so I sealed the gap between the trailer door and its floor and she learned to be a good little bug catcher. A baby skunk pouncing on a grasshopped w/ on back leg missing is one of the cutest things I have ever seen. Once I had her hunting she was re-wilded in short order.
