The Latest in Popular Pets - Skunks

The Latest in Popular Pets - Skunks

What is the latest in popular pets? Pet skunks or the striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis). They are raised domestically, have their stinkers removed and they can be potty trained. They have pleasant personalities, they are quiet; as in they don’t bark at the neighbors. They are cuddly and soft. Baby skunks are adorable!

But, with all exotic pets they have a downside and you need to be aware of potential problems as with any exotic pet. They may or may not come when called. They may or may not want to be cuddled. They may or may not walk on a leash. The skunk can be destructive, in terms of scratching the carpet, bed, sofa, or other possessions you may not want destroyed. They may or may not become house trained.
