We'll hopefully get them back in together later, but if they do it again one lucky lady gets to spend the night in the bedroom with us!!

Thanks!

hey hazel its probably due to food even though its not feeding time they'll need bulking up for winter and then again they were probably squabling over nothing at all (they are skunks after all lol)
as there outside probably best to give them a bit more than you would normaly in winter this year to bulk them up when it gets chilly

They're getting tonnes of food!!

EmmaJ very kindly sent us a video of her skunks playing, and it looked pretty rough, so I'm guessing that's what it was really.

We heard the same noise today and checked them but they weren't even near each other, so might be something else, or just making a noise for nothing! Or just skunky temper!!

Oreo got to stay inside last night. We don't want them to be chilly. New house with heated area coming soon.
