Default Tatty the skunk

I have'nt been on here for ages with one thing another and I'm asking for some help advice from the skunk coomunity again.

Tatty is really good, some time ago she had her bloods checked and they all came back normal she still has some weight to loos but other that that she's great. That is with the with the exception that she doesn't like where we've moved to.

Unfortunately we moved into a ground floor flat so that I can carry on my studies. Tatty loathes it with an absolute vengeance. I'm working on moving into a house but was wondering if their is any one that would want to take on a fully grown mature skunk who knows her own mind as a foster until we're sorted. I don't expect it to be free bored and lodgings but someone with skunk experience.


If you can help please contact me either via RFUK or email address emmaclairemay@btinternet.com

Thanks Em

Glad she's doing well. What do you mean by she hates the flat? Could be she needs more time to settle. Can take mths for them to settle in.

Hi Leggy, we have several moves unfortunatly within a short space of time. The frist move Tatty ate painkillers, the 2nd she seemed really settled and happy as did we all, but circumstances ment that we had to move again. This move she is unsettled, not her normal happy littleself, she is having to be cadge far more than I like as she is pooping every where but her litter tray and the fact that my youngest has managed to break his leg and is non weight bearning at the moment. On top of this I have no garden to allow her to exercise.

The move was necassary but I'm not doiung right at this time for Tatty ans to me thats just plain wrong

She lives with a dog Rose the little cav, she rules the house and always has done. Cat's are funny with her very interested till she turns round stamps her feet the huffs at them, she has never lived with cats tho, other small mammals not sure I would trust a skunk but I wouldn't know their are other on here with far greater knowledge than me

She is 3yrs this summer bred from Seb Miler, Spayed, chipped, decentred, wormed, vaccinated.

Tatty rules me by getting directly under my feet till I giver her what she wants, normally food. If I have no shoes on while trying to feed her she will remind me to be quicker by kissing my toes with her teeth. She has never hurt me but has made me jump I have incredibly ticklish feet. That said she is extremely affectionate, very loving and a very important member of this family which is why I'm trying to do the very best for her.

Length of time worse case scenario could be a year, best case 6 months again this is why I'm looking for a foster home this is not the kind of set up she is used to and I do feel that I'm being cruel to her


Please don't that this has been an easy decion cos it aint but do feel that she deservs more that I can giver at this present time

Nerys perhaps or Lou and Ray? The Reptile Taxi girls have skunkies too?

I am pretty certain someone here would jump at the chance but those are 3 of the people who would be my first port of call personally

Would also love to, Plus have no plans for any hols after this week and have experience with skunks, although would need to speak to other people in the house first.
