Hehehe Rain and I know your pain! have you just got the one? it cost us enough with 2! lol Now we have a 3rd ^^

WOW what are you feeding your skunks if it costs that much? OK I know Kat has 3 now (assuming Number 3 has arrived already ) but I would say I spend no more than £20 on Nizhi.

This includes buying fresh veggies, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, fish etc. I don't eat much meat other than chicken, so a whole chicken can last us 3 days . Yesterday I got lucky with the sprats in the supermarket, half price if I took all they had & there are enough to last several weeks, and were only £1.01

If you are fortunate enough to have a Lidl supermarket near by, their veggies are dirt cheap, or look in the reduced sections for fruit & veg as it will still last for a week on most things - gotta keep on top of this credit crunch

i think my biggest downfall is the pet shop when i take her there she just picks up what she wants and wont let it go and she knows she going to get it

HAHA! bless! i think Punk would be like that. she throws tantrums for food!. Indie, this biggest, eats like a bird, little and often, Rave, scoffed down everything in her bowl last night. we'll have to see how they take to visiting a pet shop.

OMG it only costs me £25-£30 a week to feed 2 skunks plus sugar gliders, apd's and pygmy mice

not trying to worry you but her being fat is a big big problem god forbid should she ever fall ill the vets would find it near impossible treating her so in a sense hannah you could be killing her with love hun

The reason we had so many probs with tatty( skunky that had an overdose) and her treatment was.............she was just too over weight to get iv lines into her they couldnt find her veins because the amount of fat she had

as said not meaning to worry you but seeing it 1st hand i know how dangerous it is for skunks to be overweight

[ichis-mom]

yes dont worry she is on a diet and its going not to bad cos she likes the low fat treats its just the chicken thats the prob so i have had to stop feeding it every day

I have two skunks and their feed bill is circa £20 per week, veg from a farm shop, meat etc from supermarket.
