Look What She Is Mothering Now!

 

 

You guessed right! It’s a skunk!

 

 

It’s a five-week-old boy skunk named Keebler 

 

 

Deb – our daughter – took their friends Zachary and David with her for the long drive (several hours) to pick him up.

 

 

He was descented today. I read on the internet that they can “spray” before their eyes are open.

 

 

Did you know there is a milk formula just for baby skunks?

 

 

I am “in love”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He fell asleep just like that.

 

 

Before I knew it, they were on their way home.

Deb said this one will not be released. A skunk raised in a house cannot be put in the wild as they lack a homing instinct, and a descented one cannot protect itself.
