Default coupla pics..

first off, this is whiff.. the new girly who arrived with a whopping prolapse..





she has decided pacer is her boyfriend and spends a lot of time letting herself in and out of his pen.. the odd thing is, although the door is done so he can get out if he wants to, he rarely, if ever, does.. unless i take him out that is..

and this new addition is Pip.. Pip i took on as an unhandled parent reared 16 week old fully loaded.. after spraying me about 10 times the first night, and savaging my arm (thank god for padded coats) and my feet (thank god for leather boots) he spent the next 4 hours with his butt prolapsing too.. which is how i know that a) scented skunks still prolapse, and b.) that scented prolapsed skunks can still spray!

i think i got hit another 20 times? though by the end of it there was not a lot coming out anymore thankfully, poor mite..

since then he has not sprayed me once, i think he figures there is no point, and is now really quite friendly.. he has buddied up with the meerkats, of all things.. and with Whiff.. has worked out how to let himself in and out of his pen - he lets himself back in at dinner time as he knows thats where he is fed!!! he is very agile, and i find him all over the place, lol.. he spends a lot of time stood on his back legs somewhere near my feet when i am there, he has learnt that being cute normally brings a reward of a veggie or two.. all in all, very happy with his progress so far, he is calming down beautifully

i must admit when you are sat up at 4am covered in orange skunk jizz, eyes streaming, having your arm savaged and having, yet again, to spend several hours covered in sugar with your finger up a skunks butt.. you do think..

so.. why do i do this??

lol

Absolutely gorgeous Skunks. It was bad enough getting scented once never mind 20 times.
Altough I would presume after the first couple it couldn't get any worse ( I hope ).

Best Wishes

umm.. no.. the more he sprayed the less came out lol... bless him.. i think my nose got used to it after a while.. although i am told the coat he got still smells now.. i cannot smell it anymore.. but people around me can i am told!!!!!

Whiff, yes... i hit her hard with worming and she has not done it since then... i forgot how many times it came out in the end.. it was a bit in and out for the first few weeks tho. she is also 4 weeks into the new diet now, and so getting used to that too...

interestingly... the first time she met pacer, he shagged her furry butt all round the pen.. and she stood for it it happily too...!

We have done everything possible to get the stink out of our clothes even the baking and washing up liquid cure. Does not work.
I just hang em on the front door now when the family want to come. Haven't seen them for a while . In fact haven't had any visitors for a while .
