While sitting outside last night, before the moon was up, I
started hearing noises and turned on the flashlight to find
the cutest group of four little skunks I've ever seen. You
know they have virtually no fear of humans until you get
excited and stand up cursing. I got out the "Have a Heart"
trap, put some canned dog food inside and half hoped to
catch them and half hoped I didn't. The trap was empty
this morning.

I'll try again tonight.

I have a co-worker who has a pet skunk that he acquired as a four week old
abandoned baby that he bottle fed. At 3 months he had her de-scented and
spayed. "Lily" lives indoors and is very much like a cat in behavior. She
uses a litterbox, eats mostly cat food and various other foods and
supplements recommended by her vet. She is now about 6 years old and has
made a wonderful pet.
