I would just like to say, as i see alot of "I always wanted a Pet Skunk" Comments, they take alot of special care, and dont make great pets for everyone! They are also Illegal to own in many areas. Skunks are very curious and stubborn. To me, they seemed like a large version of a ferret, in their energy, and their curiosity! They will try to get into anything! Baby proofing a house is not enough, it must Be Skunk proof!
