New little Skunky

[hairmetalspider]

Well I got the ultimate (early) Birthday present..my best friend bought me another baby skunk!

(As some of you may know, I live in Wisconsin where it is legal, with a license, to own a domesticated skunk. I have one other skunk named Axl, whom there's photos of somewhere in the forum.)

Anywho, she's an Albino skunk (No stripes!) and her name is Siouxsie (Ala Siouxsie and the Banshees)

Here's some photos, she's just the sweetest little girl ever!

Sweet!

I saw a wild albino coon last year in the woods here where I live. I have been told I'll probably never see another one in the wild like that for the rest of my life.
Seeing your cute little one just caused me to remember that.

Weird, it looks like a ferret. Congrats on the new baby!

Your skunks are rad! I've wanted a pet skunk since like jr. high. If I wasn't already familiar with WI I would want to move there just for the skunks.

How much cooler, in your opinion, is owning a skunk compared to owning a cat?

 

[ChondroGirl]

Congratulations! She is so beautiful! I love her cute little face. How old is she? Do your skunks eat cat food?

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Aww, it's so cute!
hey, you stole my couch

Yeah they're pretty awesome.

I had to have a talk with the cats and explain we can't treat her any different just because she doesn't have stripes.

Honestly, I think my cats are pretty bad*ss, so they're probably of equal 'coolness'. Hehe. They have different personalities, skunks are a bit more wild and into everything while my cats are just spaz's who sleep and poop all day.

A skunk you can watch and be entertained for hours. Literally. I brought home some bark and such for my T's and within 5 minutes it was everywhere but in the bag and Axl (my b&w skunk) had engaged in an hour and a half battle with a chunk of bark.

Thought you might like this link, has a lot of good info on it.

She is 6 weeks old right now. And already scaring the cats.

I had to have a talk with the cats...

Oh dear. How'd that go?.... When I talk to cats, it is usually quite clear who's runnin' the show....

hairmetalspider, did you know that the font you use is rather difficult to read? At least on my screen it is, it is all small and scrunched together. I skip most of your posts just because I can't read them, and I want to read them. Just thought I'd let you know.

Hm. I can read them fine. Dunno what to tell ya?
I'll look into it.

Now that I'm at home looking at my bigger screen, I can read them fine too. Must just be my smaller monitor at work.

I have heard that skunks can make awesome pets, but I heard that you have to have them declawed. Is that true?
I don't know why I would have more of an issue with getting them declawed than descented, tho'. I guess I'm still working off the guilt for having had my own cat declawed. I didn't have much of a choice, but just the same. If I'm going to hell, that is what it will be for.
