5 Reasons why you should get a pet skunk:
• Skunks possess the same disposition as a cat.
• Skunks can be trained to do tricks like other pets.
• Skunks like playing treasure hunt.
• Skunks hunt household pests such as rats.
• Skunks behave like toddlers; taking care of one is training for taking care of a baby.
5 Steps to take care of a pet skunk:
• Have a veterinarian surgically remove the scent gland. Meanwhile, also check for roundworms and obtain the needed vaccinations (neutering may be required as well).
• Prepare a litter box for your pet skunk.
• Remember to wash and declaw your pet skunk regularly.
• Train your skunk using a spray bottle and loud voice; never hit or abuse your pet skunk, they can be quite vindictive when they grow up.
• Move to New Mexico, the closest state to California that legally allows you to own a pet skunk (with a permit).
