sorry posted in jons name not mine so deleted it...
7 out of the 10 we bred havnt sprayed up to this day and they are, oldest, 7 1/2 months old... mine has sprayed once, this was when she was very poorly at emmas house and was literally on edge, so if i was her i think i would have too... this was the only time it has ever happend, again she is nearly 8 months old now... she has been through alot and even with jons finger up her bum she still didnt even flinch. there is NO way to bring up bomb proof babies... at the end of the day they still have the ability to spray and if they feel the need to they will use it... ours were handled from 2weeks old, or of similar age (once their eyes were open) always by many different people to get used to not just me or one other person... and at 4weeks old became very socialsed, and we around people all the time... if you are bringing skunks up in a quite environment when they are of an age to be handled, they are not going to get used to any unusual noises or anything else, just quietness and peace... so you are more likely to have skunks that will spray from time to time. babies can spray before their eyes are open and before they can even walk and this is from 7days old... yes, it doesnt stink as bad as when they are older but it still has a great smell to it that lingers for about 2 days! so if mum, another kit, or someone putting mums food in/cleaning out spooks them then they will spray, mainly because they cant see whats going on around them so are much more succeptable to noise. at least 50% of all babies 7days to 2 1/2 weeks old WILL spray... its a natural instinct for them and its as if they have to 'test' it.
