most people use the ferret harnesses figure of 8 ones

pros are you can put them down, cons are they are great at slipping them

you will need to make sure your skunk is vaccinated against parvo and distemper if your planning on taking it out where dogs and cats have been too

Try Buckley House Vets in Hucknall, I heard there is a good good herp vet but I haven't tried it myself. I like to travel and travel for an hour to Loughborough Chinese House Vet. And that's def a very good herp vet there and he is specialised in tortoises, birds and rabbits but he has also treated a few skunks there, mine included.
