For Canadians here is what you need


In Canada pet skunks must be purchased from a USDA-certified breeder in the United States. An import permit is required from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to bring the skunk into the country. The skunk must be spayed or neutered, and receive a microchip implant or tattoo. A vet check fee must also be paid. Black-and-white skunks are illegal in Canada. Pet skunks kept for any reason are banned in the Canadian province of Ontario, as of 1999. A brief attempt to lobby the provincial government to allow for captive-bred skunks to be excluded from the regulation, which pertained to wildlife native to Ontario being kept in captivity, was unsuccessful.

New neighbors moved in back in Purchase and started to do most of their drinking in the backyard, friendly and quiet I could care less & I had an open invite to stop in any time and I did fairly often. They drank a bunch and were always out there late, late enough that the skunks and racoons would come through the yard looking for open garbage pails.

That's when they decided it'd be a good idea to feed them, they had every skunk, racoon, squirrel, and bird hand fed in a matter of months, like the Beverly Hillbillies they called them 'the critters' of course. I do remember the name of the 3 skunks that frequented the yard for the shell-on peanuts they bought for them, Petula, Charlie, & Petcha. I forget whether Petcha was the offspring of the Petula/Charlie or if it was a matter of looks, looking like a bit of both. They never once got sprayed or bit by any of the critters which amazed me but why bite the hand that feeds ya I guess.


EDIT:
Do yourself a favor & buy a carbon air scrubber, they work brilliantly and
you could buy several scrubbers and a vortex fan for that money.......

One time i was so drunk laying in the drive way and next thing i know i hear something under my car and then some skunk walked like three feet away right past me, it was pretty cool actually, i was so gone i didnt care if it sprayed me so i kept smoking and drinking as it walked by and my movements didnt faze it in the least.

I don't know about training them to shoot a pistol but they already know how to throw a mean turd!

I want to see a chimp shoot a gun, that would be the coolest and cutest thing, unless of coarse it goes postal "no pun intended towards you postal people that bring me my seeds"

there was a skunk at the end of the vid nokuy.....
and i think some other critters (didnt really care to watch it though lol)

personally
i love the critters
even though the woodchucks try and eat my garden
and same with rabbits and deer
i love them
and the opossums come up onto the deck and look for food, sometimes those suckers get huge! at least 30-40lbs...twice the size of a standard housecat easily...they look kinda mean but they are pretty timid usually...they also like pancakes....

I know of at least one person who has a pet skunk that is Not descented....works fine.


Just don't freak him out...

 

[longearedfriend]

me and my dad always wanted to get one but, they don't do the operation here anymore

I knew someone who had one, and since he was gone out of the house for a long time, the skunk started turning mean, he would scratch and bite, and make agressive noises, he took the appartment/house to himself

but other then that, before it went bonkers, the skunk would come and sleep with him and his gf in their bed, and would come and curl up next to their neck

they are really smart animals, sort of like a supercat someone said

like a little of a cat and dog mix, but more on the cat side

 

[genkisan]

Actually, skunk are cousins to badgers, weasels, ferrets and mink.

 

[longearedfriend]

thanks for the info, I know they are not in the same family but a skunk can act a bit like a cat\dog

for one they are very intelligent, they are trainable, you can teach them tricks, they can use a litter box, they can be very curious, some of them like to cuddle, some of them really like to be petted

Taking care of a pet skunk is not too different from taking care of a cat. Skunks can be trained to use a litter box like cats do, but respond better to a naturally based cedar or pine cat litter than the clay types. Your pet skunk can eat chicken, tuna, or dog food as part of it's diet. You should supplement with a wide variety of fresh foods such as meat, fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

What about a pet raccoon? When I was vacationing in Washington on the colombia river I swear those coons came right up to me and they were taking bread from my hands... such awesome creatures, they were big too.

racoons are a handfull. they get into everything and get meaner as they get older.

 

[walt cunningham]

another plus, if you weed aint got no smell, the skunk and spray it, equaling instant dank

one of my crazier friends "adopted" a baby that had been abandoned. way cool animal for about a year, but after that things got crazy. by year 4 even my buddies dogs were fucking terrified of the thing and anyone who went to his house knew better than to put anything you cared about where the raccoon could grab it. little pric had a thing for car keys, and getting anything back from that fucker could cost you. thing lived almost 8 years and its attitude got shittier buy the day. even my friend ,who is the ultimate animal lover would never do that again.

 

[devilgoob]

now that Ive found out skunk-owning is possible.....! I might!

It would also be pink and I would claim it was supernatural to the policemen who would invariably drop all their weapons and yield to my skunk's every whim.

 

[pow monster]

yesss

 

[BudGood]

Illegal in most states, including mine. Sounds like it'd be a cool pet!

Man, a raccoon is a HORRIBLE idea for a pet. They look all cuddley and cute and shit, until they scratch half your face off. And they like to burrow...... bye bye bed and furniture, unless you're giving him his own room.... And they become undoubtedly attatched to ONE person, and one person only. So if one of you want one... hope you NEVER plan on going out of town, because he'll probably fuck your petsitter up.

I can only imagine the car keys thing..... They love taking shiney shit, and that has to be a bitch to try to retrieve it....

Another horrible pet are those (sp?) Capuchin Monkeys.... They look like such a cool ass pet, but they're wild man. I had a friend who had one, he'd leave the room, and the monkey would shake the hell out of the cage until he came back... He and his girl trying to watch a movie in the other room, cage rattling wildy...

I'll stick to my dog... Even though having like 14 flying squirrels might be cool... I'd keep putting them in high places all day while smoking some OG, have em gliding all around the house..... that shit would be crazy...

We had a pet skunk for almost 10 years before she finally passed on. Vet de-skunked her in the parking lot (didn't kill ALL the smell just 99% of it), no clue if this was overly harmful to the skunk or not. She didn't seem to mind either way. One thing to be aware, if this is to be an indoor/outdoor pet make sure it's the right skunk you're yelling at for getting into the trash at 3am. A case of mistaken identity ended badly for me one night. Took me a week to get the smell out of my hair. In her defense, the only family member that wanted to hang around me during that week was the skunk.
