If legal in your state, how would one raise wild caught skunks without spraying with day to day care. Believe Hough fur company is doing this.

skunks actually make great pets similar too cats in general skunks don't spray unless provoked bumped into lots out turkey hunting or coon hunting even just walking home from the bar on garbage night can be interesting but most just raise there tails and walk away like any critter though as long as they have food and water they would be happy and get use to you being around

It’s not as tough as you would think it is, we can have them in SD (1) do an internet search the dos and don’ts are listed certain foods are not good for them. You need to start with a fist size one once they recognize your voice and that foods involved with your voice they have no thought of spraying. Wear gloves until you’re sure they bonded to you so food and petting are the golden ticket there.

At first this is no joke (with all the jokers on here) the fist sized ones can be snatched up by their tails without spraying it’s their body weight vs under developed sack muscles they can’t deploy. Descending them is easy but some of the Vets here in SD will do it.

Theres an exotic animal farm here that sells domesticated skunks in several colors they have a connection in WI some zoo connections there. It’s called Spectrum Ranch the guys name is Randy. If you have any questions just ask I raised Abby for 7 years she was a treat to have around.

Little begger.

Thanks Lawdog. I know of a retired pediatrist here in WI that had pet skunk, kept in house, only time it sprayed was when strange dogs came into yard !
