He will probably keep thinking the same thing after he opens his eyes, so you better not leave the poor animal without protection against enemies - if you are planning on letting it go in the future.
Yes, that's what I was thinking. Personally, I'd do some calling and try to find out what to do -- instead of keeping it as a pet, because it is a wild animal. However, if you do plan on keeping it for very long...definitely don't just let it go, it will obviously die.

That thing's awesome. Get your information on, and figure out the best course of action from there. Find out if it's even legal to own one of these guys where you're at, and from that point figure out how to best proceed with either caring for it or finding a good way to find it a home.

Are you sure you didn't just find a skunk that was wondering while it's mom was getting it food?

You Know You are Owned by a Skunk if....

All the bottom shelves of your bookcases are emplty.

Every wastebasket in the house is up on a chair or table, out of danger.

All your house plants are set up on a table, are hangers or those which are on the floor have a fence around them.

All your bedroom and kitchen drawers and kitchen cabinets have baby locks on them.

You're on a first name basis with the Produce Manager at several grocery stores.

The people at the PlexiGlass place know you on site.

You have bite holes in the bottoms of most of your pants worn at feeding time

When you can't find your silky unders
cuz the skunks have dragged them into their beds!!

When you have a ratty blanket and comforter,
because the skunk kids NEEDED the expensive duvet!

When asked if your home decor is traditional or modern,
you say it is mephitis proof.

When out with Friends and they start showing their kids pictures,
you whip out pictures of your fur baby.

Pets Mart employees ask how your fur baby is doing
and shows you the new toys they have that the skunk might like.

Your house is covered with pictures of skunks, instead of grandkids.

You sleep in the best position for your skunks comfort.

You no longer need an alarm clock to get up for work.

You have mastered the language of stomps, rubs, nips and head butts
by responding appropriately. (ie: supply the correct food requested,
emptying the litterbox, lifting onto the bed, couch etc., butt scratches,
move over...)


You do your grocery shopping based on your skunks supply of food,
not your own.

When searching for a new house, your purchasing needs
are based on your skunks comfort and care.

Your Vet is on speed dial and on a first name basis with you.

You wake up unable to breathe
because your skunk(s) are sleeping on your face.


When you take the kids out, you get stared at and answer all the questions.
Such as "does it stink" is it "deskunked"

You warn visiting phone or cable installers, not for their protection,
but to make sure they don't startle poor Mister Poofy Butt.
"Watch out for the moving lump under the bedcover

...someone delele this plz...... oppsidently double posted

Pet raccoon? That'd be kinda cool, methinks. I'd think it'd be similar to owning a ferret...

well i know here in tn you haft to be a regerstierd to own a raccoon. Maybe it applys to skunks as well? Surely since its mothers abndandon it for unknown reasons they wouldn't say no you can't have it. Thats condeming it to death unless the zoo takes it.

Ok its mother was caught in a trap, taken to the dump, and shot. Baby skunks with their eyes still closed to not just wander away from their mothers and out into the middle of a thunderstorm.

It´s illegal in Texas and New York - the place where we found the skunk and the place where I live - to keep a skunk. Any skunk. And it´s illegal everywhere I think to keep a wild skunk. We´re probably going to have to release them into the wild if they survive long enough to be released.

But I´ll post some more nekkid skunk pixx in a couple days.
