New Skunk Owner (Please advise)

[felix93]

Well almost...

Right I have done all my research, got most of the stuff I need to get before the baby arrives. Talked to the breeder for zillions times, probably he is so sick of my text by now. And I have read most of the skunk threads on here and some caresheets and websites on the net. So I am kinda well prepared.

But I want to know is what really to expect? All of those members who keep skunks and the breeder said they don't spray unless they are stressed or scared. And with me having so many cats and dogs and other pets, how can I limit that down when he arrives please? I am going to put him in one of the room and let him settle first before letting him run around the house freely. I read in one of the website, saying that honey can calm them down, is that true?

I don't know why I am so worried because I have so many different type of animals as pets, and have all sort in my life since I was a kid. I suppose it's because friends / family don't really agree with what I am going to have a skunk. And they think I am mental and I heard only negative comment from them but only got positive comment from members who have skunks on the board and the breeder.

all skunks seem to be obsessed by feet and anything associated with feet and yes emma dice scratches in my shoes until she starts vrunning round the bedroom with them or tipping them over to see if there is anything scrummy ive stood in like chicken shit or mud then she proceeds to scratch it all off for me, which is cool if only she would sweep up the crap she takes off them instead of leaving it for me to stand in........barefooted cos i have no shoes in sight.........bless
