I have been pretty successful with my skunks, except for 1. Dutch, a chocolate and white. He was a brilliant little guy, but arrived with distemper. Sometimes, there is nothing you could have done better for them, nothing you could have foreseen.
Jesus H Christ, that's one filthy looking carpet. Mr Vax says "hello"... It's safe to say that it's not a good idea to eat food that's fallen onto THAT floor!
@jima6636 What happened to him? I'm sorry to ask. Just would like to know if it was preventable or a common sickness they may have. I'd like to care for one one day :)
it's illegal to keep skunks in the uk because of having to remove their anal scent glands. I think he's beautiful but I think it makes you wonder when you have to have something removed surgically from an animal in order for it to be deemed okay to keep as a pet... Just a thought.
@lemonyjayne Is it any different from people cutting the ears and tails of some dogs? Or de-clawing cats? Or what about spaying and neutering? That is a surgical procedure for pets actually required by law in some cities.
@lemonyjayne Its not illegal to keep them in the UK, just to have their scent glands removed. Although its not even necessary to remove their glands, many keepers never have their Skunks glands removed. You won't get sprayed if you have a properly socialised Skunk...
I have skunks at work. There's one I play a feet stamping game with and he stomps back. One night he chased me, the little stinker, and I could just imagine him giggling all the way, lol! He's not afraid to get close to me when searching for food anymore. I don't think I'd pet him, but I do talk to him. He doesn't seem intimidated at all. The little guy figured out my game and that I'm not going to hurt him. lol.
@girlsneutral I fed one a muffin one night. I don't know if it was butchy (my regular feet stamping friend) because it was too dark. I think property management may poison them evey year because I don't see Butchy or his other little friends around any more. :-( If they hibernate, I hope that is what they are doing. I miss Butchy.
@girlsneutral His girlfriend Yvonne was pretty cute too. She had beautiful long white wavy fur. She was trying to climb up this little hill and couldn't make it. I told her "Yvonne! go down a few feet and try the concrete steps." Wouldn't you know it - like she understood what I said (who knows, lol!) she hobbled down a few feet to the stone steps and made her way up the hill. I think she may have been pregnant at the time because she was really waddling, lol! I'd love to have 1 as a pet.
I have an idea for you... add a link to an information website about skunks as pets in the video description. I'll eventuall Google it for myself, but there seem to be a number of negative comments which I suspect are based in ignorance.
when you get their genitals sterilized so to speak in the same process they can go up their ass and remove the glands that are called (believe it or not) stinkers.
why cause some idiot comes to my video and say's my kids are harassing archie? ....naaaa pretty sure they was the clowns that got what they had coming to them......
@jima6636 It's an idiot. You clearly said so yourself. You realize that they are an idiot yet you let them bother you. They're an online loser. Why would you let it get to you? That was my point. Who are you really trying to defend them against? Is it necessary? Not at all.
@ParadoxIcon You dont need to do that really if you pet them from youth. Househeld skunk don't treat humans as dire life-threatening thing.
In UK you can hold only non-descented skunks. In US in some states skunk arent allowed as pets (some stupid belief that the can bear rabies desease unnoticed )
i love it. i have been looking threw all the comments a few people have been quite rude i think. people who make mean comments should be ashamed of themselfs. the skunk is very cute i only have two hamsters 3 fish and a cat. but skunks are very cute never knew you could keep them as pets. but everyone please dont leave mean comments like that. i saw a comment that said your children should go die i thought that was EXTREMLY rude so just stop it.
You could search web also make sure they legal where you live, My skunk sleeps under our bed and you never want to cage a skunk,You want to always show them efection cause they will get mean if not, they have to have interaction with who ever in ur house ..think of it as having a 3yr kid that need a litter box :)
yes they are like having a 2yr old kid ..lol just make sure you do your research on them and make sure they are legal where you live ...if you get one and need any thing hit me up ...dont forget to check out my skunks channel ArchieTheSkunk
I can see why but thats kinda mean. It wouldnt spray unless you really actually tryed to make it very pissed off... then again you probably know more about skunks than me.... hey Im gonna send you a friend invite and an awsome video :D
thanks and no he can not spray he is domesticated skunk ..he has no sprayer basically...he is a very cool pet tho and is alotbigger then that now..he has his on youtube :>)
always wanted 1..was getting close to my B-DAY and happen to see guy in paper who bred them..so was like i want one ..and my wife got 1 for me for a gift...lol
You've gotten a lot of bad comments, that's too bad. It's obvious the skunk is quite content or it would of puffed up, bitten or run away. They really are adorable with a horrible reputation.
thank you thank you ..what a great comment you can see he is very happy and if you see my newest vids of him you can see how huge he is and very happy.....thank you again
you know i was gonna delete this comment but im gonna leave it up to show what kinda person you are...you and everyone who knows you should be ashamed of you
ok first of all i had nothing to do with his scent gland being removed was already done when i got him 2nd of all he has no use for it being in a loving home where he does what he wants eats what he wants sleeps where he wants and is a vey happy skunk....PEACE
I have lost a couple of skunks, one as a baby, and one nearly 9 years old. I still grieve for them. I have 3 right now, that get away with murder. :)
