Stop using all these terms. I don't understand them.

So the black bits on the back is high silver? Mack has 3 dots on his back, and 2 1/2 dots on his tum. The peeing bit has a white dot. (don't tell me there is another term for that too. ) So even if you put all the black and white skunks together, I can find Mack straight away.

lol yips

a normal black an white skunk is black allover apart from the white stripes

if they have white in other places then they are swirl, white under the arms is chip and just small amounts of black on the back is high white/silver , if there is no black on the back at all then they are a silver back

Morning Em,

Another eventful night for me last night. Mack worked out how to climb up my bed and the little sod decided to just stay there and go to sleep. My house rabbit was mad because Mack slept on his spot. I think the time I can put Mack back to his crate will soon be gone. Every bed time, the job for me is harder.

Was watching some You Tube skunk videos last night, some were pretty funny and love it.

Angel sounds very sweet.

But no, Mack can't stay in the bed. Hubby is away and will be back on Friday, he would go mad if he knows Mack is going to sleep with us too. There isn't enough room in the bed already with the cats and the rabbit.

I am really hoping to find a friend for Mack next year because he is so playful, even my kitten is fed up playing with him now. Skunks must have lots of energy.

Want to ask a question. Which sex of skunk is better if I have already got a boy? I don't want to breed from them as they will be neutered (sprayed if it's a girl) once they reach their adulthood. Will 2 boys usually get on as I love boys in general, whether it's little humans or animals. I always go for boys first. And do they smell different? I mean I know they are all individual and smell differently anyway, but do girls smell stronger? 'cos I read some members said their girls really have the strong smell compared with their boys.
