Peaches the Skunk - Lucky Day

Peaches is on a very strict "Skunk Food" only diet. However, if you don't keep and eye on her she will be more then happy to eat any dog or cat food she can get her little paws on! Cat food is very bad for skunks as it is too high in calories and in general just not the right stuff. Skunks don't come across much processed foods in the wild. I prepare Peaches two fresh meal each and every day (Breakfast and Dinner) of about 50% veggies and about 40% simple proteins, 10% other whole foods with 3-5 kernels of dog food for the vitamins and "Missing Link" supplement for cats. Skunks are always looking for a free meal, and have the natural tendency to be portly :o) ... so Diet is everything (except lots and lots of love) when it comes to having a happy and healthy pet skunk.

The topic of what to feed skunks is very controversial, according to Owners of Pet Skunks.[15] Mary Kaye Ashley's book, A Comprehensive Guide to Raising a Pet Skunk, recommends a ratio of 50 percent vegetables, 40 percent Skunkie Delight, and 10 percent other whole foods. Skunkie Delight is a blend of a cooked grain (millet, oats, barley, or brown rice), raw ground turkey, eggs, vegetable oil, and a variety of vitamin and mineral powders.[16] Since it is not available commercially, the owner has to mix it.

Cheers.

I just want to let you know that I've absolutely adored watching Peaches! Thanks so much for posting your video, she is so precious.

I've wanted a pet skunk my entire life, ever since I was small and my great-grandfather kept them as pets in Alberta.

Unfortunately there is a lot of red tape to jump through to get a pet skunk here in British Columbia now, but I know one day I'll have a Peaches of my own. They really are the perfect pet!
