They were out of luck on the beer thing, as I don't often drink that. They did find a nice load of vegetables that were somehow left right within their reach.
They can't let out the 'gas' (it's a liquid, actually, an oily mix of sulphur compounds. These were de-scented at the farm when they were about 4 weeks old. These are domestic skunks, rather than wild skunks.
I have skunks as pets because I'm allergic to cats, and dogs, and birds, and I'm well past the phase where tropical fish amused me. That, and I'm probably crazy.
They chew with their mouths open too! Such manners! They're so smart and so much fun, but you have to skunk-proof your home to try to keep them out of trouble. Only had one who climbed, and that one is Professor Moriarty.
Domestic skunks have to have a diet that is mostly vegetables, because they're not as their wild cousins. They are omnivores, after al. For protein sources they get almonds and or other nuts, tofu (they love tofu), cheese, cooked chicken and cooked turkey, and once a week, an egg, either scrambled or hard boiled.
That is way too funny how he opened the door from underneath. I just found your videos. This is the first one I've seen of yours-I watched it twice.
Going to favorite it too. :-)
I've always wanted a skunk for a pet. We had some beautiful pure white ones in our yard a few years ago. Until then I never knew they came in different colors and patterns.
A lot of skunk owners have mentioned that the skunks they got if not froma breeder were rejects from a fur farm. I guess its nice to be a reject at something. =)
Check your local laws to see if its legal where you are. =)
