Welcome
Welcome to a new UK website about domesticated Skunks.
This website is to help and support UK skunk owners with the health, care and behaviour of their pet skunks.
I don’t pretend to know everything about skunks, but I have over 7 years’ experience with numerous Skunks. I also keep in constant contact with Skunk Breeders, and keep up to date with developments in Skunk Care. If you can't find what you are looking for on this website then feel free to e-mail me and I will do what I can to help and support you.
I am always interested in your feedback, whether it is negative or positive.
If you have any information or content that you feel could be added to the site then please get in touch.
This site is best view with an up to date Web Browser that is CSS3.0 Compliant.
Important
Under the Animal welfare act, It is now illegal to descent skunks in the UK and is considered unethical. So most skunks that are now sold will have their scent glands fully intact.
Having a fully scented skunk is not usually a problem if it has been well socialised as a baby. Skunks will only spray if frightened or threatened, but still this may put some skunk owners off and this must also be taken into consideration before buying a skunk .
