Had the shock of my life this morning at 7 more little ones crawling about their cage!

Me too.............I have 2 girls & 1 boy

Anyone ever tried their skunks with dandelions as part of their diet?

I dropped some into their enclosure yesterday while giving the dandelions to the Ground Squirrels - 2 of the skunks had a scrap over who got the flowers The winner got the spoils & gobbled it all up very quickly.

Just wondered what other "free food" we could provide for them besides dandelions. Mind you, they only liked the flowers & left the leaves

Must try the lil monsters tonight at feedy time.

Will def try dandelions with mine - they are a diuretic though, so there will be more pee and more water consumed! Rose petals might be eaten. Cow parsely stems are supposed to be like celery, but mine are ignoring celery at the moment...

I'm pretty sure my little Lavender is expecting, so will post if/when there is any news of the baby variety!

My lot loving celery and celeriac at the mo......particularly Ella.
We have three, all living upstairs (almost taken it over, lol!) but the girlies come down regularly during the evening-we have to go up and fetch Ollie, he is still so defensive, poor fella. Bit my toe last night before scarpering past me (I was going to bed).
I take the a stick of celery up each night before going to bed (otherwise they follow me into the loo and into bedroom........or Ella wants to play!!).
