lou - there is a scented skunk living up here in lincs (not with me) as a house pet these days.. i got sent a pic lately of her snoozing by the fire with her other skunk (who is descented) tis very sweet

pretty sure you have talked to the owner via LF before..

found out another thing recently from a mate in belgium, apparently its against the law to keep skunks as pets over there?

yeah I talk to her via email now and again, bumped into her via LF , I'm still looking for more "intact" skunk owners to natter to though its handy to learn others experiences

and I never knew that about belgium oh well, some states in america are the same so its not surprising other countrys make them illegal

did she tell you about the fur difference?

she thinks her scented one, has an almost... like greasier coat.. compared to the de scented one..

have you found any difference between fred and the girls in that department? or is it not comparable as they are 07 born, wheras he has a more mature coat? i've noticed snuff and teyahs coat has changed as they have matured

fred has the better coat out of the three tbh, he also has a better coat than mary jane and stompy had and my friends skunk down the road (whos the same age 06) coat, could be diet related but he definitely isnt greasy thats for sure. I dont know if the presence of the anal glands would effect the coat with greasiness but i only have fred to go by with intact glands,
