Default Putting 2 skunks together

We've just started thinking about putting Oreo (20 week skunk) with Hershey (about 2 year skunk) together. Any tips on what is the best way to do this and anything we should look out for? Both females, Hershey has been spayed but Oreo hasn't yet.

Thanks

Forget it!! 2 together for half an hour have trashed the place! Drawers open, clothes out (and probably hidden somewhere!), bin over, rubbish everywhere.

They can stay separate - they are too much for me!!

Thanks Dave.

No. No way. 2 is plenty. We are not getting any more. Our house is too full as it is!

BTW Dave, it's normally Hazel posting on this, not Dan! None of my comments in any way reflect Dan's views on the matter.

Well, we have other stuff in the house too, it's not just the skunks.

We have come to a compromise - they are now together in our spare room, where there is nothing except some ferrets that they can damage (they can't really damage the ferrets - they live in their own cage).

About 10 minutes after I got fed up with Oreo biting my feet when I was trying to tidy up and shoved her in with Hershey I went to check on them. Oreo bit Hershey, so Hershey sat on Oreo. I think they'll be fine in a few days!!
