I’d never heard of anyone having a skunk as a pet before!

What kind of temperament do they have? Do they like being fussed? Can you train them?

They do look cute, especially if you know they’re not going to smell! 😄

Temperament can vary to be honest. Tinks is curious, but not one to sit still for long. Some will love to curl up with you, others not so much. Once asleep they sleep solidly! Babies are super confident and good with us. Hopefully this will continue in their new homes where I know they’ll be getting lots of fuss.

The baby sounds are awesome. Little clip here of one (excuse child noise in background)

The foot fetish is real











The babies have even taught themselves to use the litter tray

Wow they are cute, love An unusual pet!

Didn’t realise it was a possibility to own a skunk in this country either. First question that popped into my head was how much does a skunk cost?

Thank you. The boys will be leaving this weekend for their fur-ever homes. They’ve grown so quickly and are getting in to everything they can.

I’m still on the look out for Armadillos and a Coati of anyone sees or hears of any for homing/sale.

As for how much… a Skunk only has one ‘s’cent wink

Someone at the beginning. Of this thread remarked about finding a good local rescue/claws clipped and some other Badger related stuff because they were drunk/tired/hadn’t read the opening post… I can’t see the post now so assume they deleted it. If that person is here I’d like to introduce you to the female I’m keeping (on the left)






I’m calling her Badger smile
