Does anyone out there feed peanuts to their skunks, just wondering as have never fed them to mine and a couple of sites say they are a no no but most include them as part of a skunk diet.

Skunks and peanuts
Feeding nuts to skunks is one of those controversial things. The main issue I see is the fact that they are so high in fat, however, an occasional one or two (obviously not salted or flavoured) shouldn't hurt. I would wait for a few more responses before going ahead though, as I may be wrong!!! I don't feed nuts to mine just to be safe, although I know Oz has got a few from under the birdtable before!
Nuts....
Well, brazil nuts, Ollie has been eating nuts since he was with last owner...he is over 18 months, now. I believe they are good for oils etc.
However, he gets less with us as he is a little fat!!!! So, one/two every couple of days, if we get them.
He and the others absolutely loves em.:flrt:

Hi Dave,
Do you give the brazils in their shell? I guess the sharp edges could be an issue if they got swallowed. Wondering if a whole walnut in shell might be a good occasional enrichment treat?!
