    Heather dreamed of having a skunk ever since she was a child. She then got Toccoa from a rescue group. She made sure she got all the right permits to own her. Toccoa adjusted really quickly to her new home, including befriending Nola, her cat sister. She loves stealing food and playing with toys. Together they are a dynamic team that brings so much joy into everyone's lives.

Within a couple of days, he was able to find someone who was skunk savvy, so we had to goodbye. Anyway, Toccoa is so beautiful with that cocoa color. I just Googled skunk colors and was surprised at some of the colors, lavender, and apricot colors that skunks can be.

      @@hrlocke Sometimes, animals do a _ton_ better under human care, both in length, but also quality of life. The skunk seems to be one of those.
      Considering their even temperament and omnivorous diet, they make a good candidate for full-on domestication. Obviously, one of the first things we'd select for is reduced size and potency of the infamous scent glands (since they wouldn't need this living with humans).

    I've had several skunks in mutation colors (descented, of course). They make GREAT pets. I was able to litter-box train them, plus they jumped into bed with me every night. You have to watch their diets, though, otherwise they'll eat themselves sick.

    Skunks are such cute little critters. They're actually very mellow and don't spray unless threatened.
