lol you n everyone else who doesnt have a skunk asks this. Skunks who have scent glands can spray and dp smell when they do. Though the law changed in april 07 makin it illegal to have the scent glands removed so if you want a baby, im afraid you will get them entire. Though a lot of people have entire skunks and if brought up around people they tend to get used to things and spray less and less.

Skunks in general have a small to them ive found, though its not an awful smell n i find they do actually smell less than ferrets

We have three intact males who have never sprayed (properly) in the house. George our youngest male is 6 months or so old and has never done a 'full' spray, he's leaked a little occasionaly when he's tried it on with Fred one of our older males and got his butt kicked.

ditto Fixx. Our entire male has never sprayed.

i would say she smells a little less strong than a ferret,there is a wiff in the air but not repulsive.she is still having a bit of foot stomping at my dogs so hoping shes not too stressed.

Nope, perfectly normal, and it will continue, all of ours still stomp the dog/cat/random inanimate things.

Congrats on the new arrival & welcome to the Skunk Club Hubby will soon be considering a second, third or even 4th skunk I bet

As for the stomping.....my 2 stomp at me & the dogs & even run at the dogs while stomping - soooooo funny to see a Great dane running away from a tiny skunk Goli the apricot skunk will even copy me if I tap my feet on the floor - was hoping she might even learn to count using stomps if I stomp twice, she does the same........

Where did you manage to get your new skunkie in the end?
