Extractions: Pets Hub Pets Forums PDA View Full Version : Anyone own skunks? Im curious about pet skunks. Anyone wanna share the expirience of owning a skunk? dempseykat I had a male skunk many years ago. They are very cute and loveing when they are young (under 6 months) "Thumper" slept with me next to my head and was very loveing, he was great with the kids and had free run of the house. He was very social, got along great with the rest of my critters( he tried to breed with my cocker spanial ) even though they were both fixed. Then one day for no apparent reason he bit me, I meen he chomped down on my arm and I had to forse his teeth off me. I still have a bad scar.We tried everything we could think of to gentle him down again, but he just would,nt. I finaly had to give him to a sanctuary were he lived out his life the way he was supposed to as a wild animal. I have known many people with very nice skunks that they have had for years , no problems.? Go figure :confused: The wild part of him must of came out as he got older. Did he come out of many generations of being pets? They sound like they would make great pets, but maybe they shouldnt be. dempseykat he came from a pet shop, so i asume he was from a breeding farm, did,nt realize that at the time.

Extractions: by Lin Stone And, rehabbers, when they will let you in close, maintain some great places to visit if you truly love wild animals. Saving Wildlife is a dangerous enterprise. A friend of mine from the East stopped to save a German Shepherd he had struck with his car. "That blamed dog fought me all the way to the vet. I finally had to knock it out and tie its head and feet up with my coat. I was bleeding everywhere." Here is a list of great rehabbers you can talk into letting you visit. Bertta M. Snell , a Raptor Rehabber in Barltesville Oklahoma, has this to say about her hobby: "People often perceive rehabilitation as fun and exciting, a chance to see and work with some very beautiful birds up close. The reality is quite different. There are moments to feel good when a bird, that would have died, left on it's own, flies away free and strong. There are unpleasant moments, cleaning maggots out of a smelly decaying gunshot wound. And there are moments for anger when you have to kill a cute soft downy baby that's crying out in pain, with bones that have decalcified to the point that they readily bend in your fingers, because someone stole it from the nest and fed it an inadequate diet."

http://www.hehd.clemson.edu/MSP/wild_animal_training/

Extractions: Wild Animal Training The following precautions are necessary to protect yourself and your family from disease while working with wild mammals: Gloves should be worn and hands washed after glove removal (and frequently throughout the day). Waterless hand cleaner can be used until soap and clean water are available. Many of the zoonoses are spread by fecal-oral contamination (their excreta into your mouth). To prevent this, dont eat, drink, apply lip balm or make-up, or smoke while trapping or handling animals, their bedding, cages, or pens. Always wash your hands prior to eating, drinking, or smoking after handling these things. Avoid exposure to, or handling of, sick, dying, or dead animals. Designated protective clothing and shoes should be worn, and these should be bagged until they can be cleaned or laundered (separately) from other clothes. Zoonotic organisms are potentially hazardous to your family members. A normal, healthy adult may have only mild symptoms when infected with a zoonotic disease, but the same organisms can be fatal to infants, the elderly, and those with a weakened or suppressed immune system, such as the elderly, people without spleens, people taking cortisone and other medications, people on chemotherapy or radiation, those with cancer, diabetes, AIDS or renal failure, etc.

Extractions: T h e V i e w f r o m t h e C o r n e r View from the Corner for Aug 01, 2005 Back to View Index "How to get rid of Skunks" by Troy H. Cheek on Aug 01, 2005 While many people seem to think of skunks as wild animals only found in the depths of the deepest wilderness, they actually have little fear of humans and can be found in many rural or even urban areas. Like around our house. Methods of getting rid of skunks was a topic of discussion at my house recently. We discussed mothballs, but my understanding was that it was a violation of federal law to leave them laying around the house like that. The Internet suggested motion-activated lights, mylar balloons, fox urine, wolf urine, human urine, and boarding up the entrances to any dens they might be using. We ultimately decided to do nothing as the local skunk population appeared to be decreasing rapidly. It seemed that in the last few weeks my immediate family and neighbors had accounted for about a dozen skunk road deaths. The poor things are not quite as stupid as possums when it comes to running out in the road just as a car approaches, but they're pretty close. In fact, I don't remember seeing that many possums on the road lately. Maybe the skunks ate them. A couple of summers back, the question was about raccoons. We were seeing many dead raccoons on the sides of the road and more were being killed trying to enter homes in the area.

Extractions: Links REQUESTED SEASONAL WILD SKUNK INFORMATION Need a rehabber http://wildliferehab.virtualave.net/contact.htm While Skunks As Pets deals with Domestic/Pen-raised skunks, we are frequently contacted by people with wild skunk problems. Here is some information that should be beneficial if you're bothered by unwanted, wild "visitors". Elevate firewood piles. Burn brush piles. Remove rock piles. Garage unused cars. Trim all shrubs underneath to eliminate denning areas. Secure all "under areas" such as decks and crawlspaces under the house. Be sure to use long SCREWS, because skunks are extremely strong and can pull out nails. If using wire mesh, be sure to bury it at least a foot into the soil. Skunks are superior diggers and VERY hardheaded!! Mothballs may be scattered under NON-LIVING SPACES. DO NOT USE UNDER AREAS WHERE PEOPLE OR ANIMALS LIVE. THE FUMES ARE DEADLY!
Rattlesnakes Show Strong Family Bonds, Study Says

Extractions: Site Index Subscribe Shop Search Top 15 Most Popular Stories NEWS SPECIAL SERIES RESOURCES Front Page Rattlesnakes Show Strong Family Bonds, Study Says Female Siblings Clark found female siblings were the most intimate. On average, they rested just 6 centimeters (2.3 inches) apart. Forty-four percent of the time, Clark observed the snakes entwined. By contrast, non-sibling females kept an average distance of 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) and spent just 18 percent of their resting time entwined. Clark's finding is supported by previous studies conducted in the wild, which found timber rattlesnakes that shared the same hibernation den were more closely related to one another than to snakes in neighboring dens. This latest study found that male pairs, both kin and non-kin, never entwined and hardly ever touched in the lab. Clark says this may be because the male timber rattlesnakes were well fed and on a constant light cycle, causing them to be reproductively active year round. When male timber rattlesnakes "are reproductively active, they are more agonistic toward other males," he said. "In the wild, males can sometimes be found aggregating together outside the mating season. So they may also exhibit kin recognition."

Extractions: Regular readers of this little column are probably wondering, "What happened to the humor stuff?" Bear with me. The grins and chuckles shall return next month but this story is one that needs telling and there is a bit of urgency involved. I have had the great good fortune to photograph several fascinating animals at this facility. This is my way of giving something back. "MOM, THERE'S A POSSUM IN MY HAIR." It was Annette's daughter calling from her bedroom. "That's when I knew things were getting out of hand," says Annette King, founder of the Wild Heart Ranch, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center located near Claremore, Oklahoma. She continues: "My entire household was being overrun with animals. Somehow I had to figure a way to add a room to the house and dedicate it solely to caring for the critters." And typically, she did. Upon hearing of her plight, friends, neighbors, and relatives chipped in money, time, and supplies to erect a fully functional clinic. "I couldn't have continued without this room. It's a dream come true, she says". The mission of a wildlife rehabilitator is to care for sick, injured, or orphaned animals, with the goal of releasing them back to the wild as soon as possible. Ones with severe injuries are either kept for use in public awareness programs or humanely euthanized. The rehabber's work is hard, dirty, and demanding. Few have the dedication for such an endeavor. Annette King has it. This is her story.
