Pet Skunk for sale

Pet Skunk for sale. The Pet skunks are what an owner makes of them. Usually a skunk is settled into habits and has developed its own specific personality by the time it is 9 to 10 months old. Very well cared for skunks will be much more tolerant of owners, other pets, and strangers as well.

Skunks are wonderful when properly cared for and trained. We often get to see how poor diet, mistreatment, or general lack of knowledge and understanding affects a skunk. We rarely get the show quality, best temperament, lap-baby type skunks in as rescues. We’d like to show the bad side to let you be a better informed consumer and a better pet skunk owner. If you get a skunk you may have NONE of the problems, then again you may see all this and more.

Skunks tend to be very sweet, playful, and loving creatures. They generally get a bad rap from the public, but only because they associate them with their distinctive odor. Our skunks are all descented before we place them in their new homes. They are definitely their own creatures and hard to compare, but I like to say they are playful like a ferret, and lazy like a cat. They love being outside, going for walks, and digging in the dirt as well!

Skunk-Proof Your Home!

Put baby latches on kitchen/bathroom cupboards and drawers. Make sure there are no escape holes. Make sure that they can’t get behind the refrigerator, washer, dryer or stove. Some larger skunks can even open refrigerator doors.

Put trash cans away behind locked doors or up on stands or counters.

Skunks have been known to tear screens from doors and windows and pry off drier vents and get out. Never leave a skunk in a room with an open window.

If you’re looking for an indoor pet, I would say skunks make the best ones in comparison to fox, groundhogs, or raccoons. They are generally low maintenance, social, and considerably less destructive.
