sooo cute. but i think if your serious about wanting one theres always a way around so that you dont get sprayed. like the idea about keeping them outside. but the only problem is fox proofing them if you have those around. although if there fully scented then that shouldnt be a problem.

Well, we've designed our ferret courts, and I think they will have enough room for a skunk to have a part of the court to itself.
It's going to house all our ferrets, with enough room for even more (so the skunk will prob get 1/4 of the total space all to itself). It'll live outdoors, but the courts will be protected from weather, and heated in winter months.
Regardless of if its scented or de-scented the courts will be fox-proofed as we do get them out in the countryside where we live.
The skunk would (as our ferrets do) be able to come inside, but the main sleeping/eating area would be the courts.

Nothing to worry about really, as long as the skunk in question is well socialised you shouldn't have too many issues.

jon, do you want me to come over and sex them at some point? or are you ok to do it once you can get near them again?

prices..

seb miller last year was charging £550 for de-scented babies. there are no prices on his site, but he is still advertising the waiting list for descented babies this year so far. i think the year before he was asking £500.

last year, skunks were on the market from £100 each (for fully scented young ones) up to the maximum of about £800-850. i know of at least 3-4 skunks that sold at that sort of price..

last year, skunks were being sold into retail at around £350 or so each. depending on the retailer, you then saw varying mark ups on them.. i know of a pair sold via retail for £1200, and also several individual animals, again, sold via retail, for around the 650-750 mark.

privately they were going from about £450-650 depending on things like colour and individual seller.

the cheapest ones i have bought have both been got rid of as they were agressive, teyah cost me £300 last feb, and pacer i picked up for £200 last october/november time. Snuff i paid a £400 "dontation" for, back in june 2006.

FYI i do already know of people who will be selling descented skunks this year. i know of at least one vet who has quoted £1000 to do the op however!

i'm not sure how much help thats been really Jon lol.. give us a buzz later if you want, i will be stuck in the car from about 8.30-11.30 or so, and unless pete tong is playing a decent mix, i will be as bored as normal lol.. moby on the sig etc etc etc
