Skunks as pets?
Ok after doing a lil browsing ive seen that people keep skunks as pets.
How much do they cost to buy and do you have to de-scent them after you buy them? If so how much does that cost on the top. What sort of keepings do you recommend or do you keep them like cats/dogs and what do they eat. Sorry for asking so much but its really got me interested.

hiya skunks can cost between £400 - £800 depending on what colour and what teh seller feels right to sell it at, unfortunatly its now illegal to have skunks descented. so you would have to have a fully loaded skunk, some people keep fully loadeds in their house but most dont as they tend to smell a bit more from what i have been told.
they eat a variety of vegetables and some fruit along with cottage cheese, cooked chicken, pasta and a few other things (best to reasearch lots, as differnt people say different things) most people keep them indoors as a house pet sort of like a cat/dog but they will get into anything and pretty much trash the place but thats what makes them so fun  there are some people that keep them, outside in enclosures although im not sure on what dimensions you would need but im sure there are people that can add to this and give their view on keeping skunks also you could ask nerys or rory on here as they will probably be able to find you one. if you are serious about getting one just research as much as possible on everything about them stu

It is an EU law, it's not allowed on the continent either. But even if it was you couldn't bring the skunk back legally anyway, they're not covered under the pets passport scheme so even if YOU took it over there you still wouldn't be able to bring it back legally, unless of course you wanted to quarantine it!
