Species-Specific Management (SSM) HOME SSM Home Birds Mammals ... Glossary Striped Skunk The striped skunk ( Mephitis mephitis ) is an animal familiar to most people in Virginia. The skunk is beneficial to farmers, gardeners, and landowners because they feed on field mice, other small mammals, and insects that can be pests. In the northern United States, they are an important furbearer. The skunk has some negative values, too. Their smell is unpleasant, and they are a carrier of rabies. (Local information on rabies: click on Office of Epidemiology .) Also, skunks are known to raid poultry farms to eat the eggs. They will damage corn as well. Despite these negative values, the skunk can be beneficial. If desired, their numbers can be increased by the following: Denning sites and food abundance are the most limiting factors on skunk populations. If these two factors are managed then a skunk population will increase in numbers. Skunks use underground dens made by themselves or they use abandoned woodchuck holes. They have been found to prefer hilly or rolling lands for their den sites. They usually den on slopes of 5 to 10 percent. These areas provide good water drainage. Good vegetative cover is needed around the entrance to the den. Most den entrances have been found underneath fences where plenty of vegetation is found. Also, these sites lessen the chances of the den being destroyed by machinery. The manager needs to provide fencerows within the area to be managed, and the fencerows should be placed on slopes on the contour. These will provide plenty of den sites for the skunks.

Living With Skunks "I never met a skunk I didn't like" Anonymous Photo by Art Wolfe Skunks are members of the weasel family (Mustelidae). There are four species of skunk in North America: striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), hooded skunks (M. macroura), spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius), and scarce hognosed skunks (Conepatus mesoleucus). The striped and spotted skunks are common in San Diego County's rural and urban areas; the striped skunk is larger and more common than the spotted skunk. Although their markings vary, these bushy- tailed creatures are always back and white and absolutely unmistakable. Striped skunks measure 20 to 30 inches long (including the wide, bushy tail) and weigh 6 to 10 pounds (about the size of a house cat) and have two wide, white stripes on their backs that meet on the head. Spotted skunks are about half that size with white spots instead of stripes. Skunks have small heads and eyes, pointed snouts, and short legs that make them seem to waddle. Their strong forefeet and long nails make them excellent diggers. They tend to be slow-moving animals, never in much of a hurry, and are generally poor climbers. A litter of from one to seven young, averaging five, is born from late April to early June.

The Lab Believe It or Not Trippin'' Behind the Holiday ... Art Attack Striped Skunk Wild Things - Skunks and Skunk Spray Skunks are well known for their nasty smelling spray. They're small furry animals about the size of a cat that belong to the weasel and ferret family. Skunks easily adapt to most living conditions so you'll see them sniffing grass in the country or waddling behind some garbage cans in the city Spotted Skunks? Not all skunks have a white stripe down their back. There are four different kinds of skunks that live in North America and Europe. There's the Spotted, Hognosed, Hooded and the Striped skunks. The Striped skunk (the most common) and the Spotted are named after the look of their fur. The Hooded skunk has so much hair around its neck that it looks like it's wearing a hood. The Hognosed has a nose that looks like a hog's nose. The Myth Behind Spraying It's a Spotted Spunk myth that skunks spray all the time. They give lots of warning before they spray and even then, they only spray in life threatening situations. A skunk may never spray during its lifetime. Here's how you can tell if a skunk might spray. Most skunks give a warning by stomping their front feet, raising their tail and walking stiff-legged. Spotted skunks even try to bluff by doing a handstand on their front legs and lifting their tail but they don't spray. If a skunk does spray, they aim it at the face and it causes intense irritation and temporary blindness if it gets in the eyes. Bad Rep For Skunks Skunks have a bad rep for carrying rabies. Some people think that when these animals are seen during the day, they must be rabid. They could be out during the day for several reasons including their home was destroyed, they're desperate for food, they want to mate or are looking for their mother. Like most animals, skunks die from rabies and have as much chance of carrying it as other wild animals.

Family - Pets - Racoons and Skunks Return to Pets Main Page The best advice provided by professional animal "rehabilitators" about taking racoons or skunks as pets is "don't". Dogs and cats have been domesticated for centuries. A baby racoon raised as a pet, no matter how cute it is, is still basically a wild animal and will retain some wild animal traits despite your best efforts. It takes an almost saintly patience to keep a racoon as a pet. You should also be aware that many, if not most, states have laws prohibiting the keeping of wild animals as pets.

15. Do Skunks Make Good Pets? wild skunks don't make as good a pet as the domestic penraised skunk, which aremore loving and devoted to their caretaker as they have been bred in captivity http://members.aol.com/skunks10/myhomepage/pets.htm

DO SKUNKS MAKE GOOD PETS? F or most people the answer is NO, because skunks require a tremendous amount of attention and care, are usually destructive, and are illegal in most states. They are also escape artists, and cannot survive without their defense mechanism. They are, without a doubt, demanding little "stinkers", capable of turning your life upside down, and have special diet, training and health problems. Wildlife rehabilitators occasionally get unreleasable wild and domestic skunks, most being descented. These usually make good educational animals. I don't advocate skunks as pets and talk hundreds of people a year out of the decision to have a wild pet skunk, but our organization doesn't discriminate and there is much to learn about the wild skunk by studying the domestics. Wild skunks are, and always will be, wild animals. They are afraid of strangers and new situations, and need a spacious environment that is interesting to them. They are independent and will not accept punishment from humans or respond to voice control as dogs do. In fact, they will not respond to humans at all unless they want to. You have to make a lifetime commitment to this animal, since they may not make an easily-handled animal for the next caretaker. Unless prospective caretakers learn all these things, and are committed to providing what a skunk needs, their lack of knowledge or concern causes untold suffering to the animals involved. They live out their lives alone in a cage. Or, when new caretakers discover what they have and decide they cannot handle it, they give up the animals.

TO PREVIOUS PAGE living with skunks Skunks are excellent "mousers", and may even be better at it then cats. They eat many mice, rats, other small rodents, grubs, and a variety of insects. They will also take the eggs and young of ground nesting birds. There are many instances of skunks living in close contact with humans under sheds, decks, houses, and even in garages, without ever spraying their human hosts.

What to do if you find a skunk Skunks Photo by Art Wolfe Skunks are a member of the Mustelidae - the weasel family - and like most of the other members have as their defense the ability to squirt out a strong smelling spray of oily droplets. Their main diet is insects, grubs, beetles, carrion and sometimes fruit and berries. Like many other mammals they have discovered that human beings unwittingly (and usually unwillingly) provide a great variety of foods (cat food, dogfood and table scraps) along with warm snug housing (crawl spaces under hot tubs, decks, houses and basements). When spring arrives along with the brood of cute, bouncing but stinky babies, trouble follows as the calls come in to wildlife rehabilitators and agencies for the removal of the cute but now nuisance animals. The following information may help people deal with some skunk-related problems. Human health and safety - local and state laws Anyone attempting to help an orphaned, sick or injured skunk should be aware of the following facts:

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". Make the area as inhospitable to skunks as possible. Remove all animal foods, such as dog and cat food or farm animal feed. Move and elevate the garbage cans as much as is feasible. A garbage can is to a skunk, what a refrigerator is to us! Place stereo speakers directly on a bare floor such as kitchen or bathroom. Play the loudest, thumpingest, bassline music (?) that you can find. (We suggest that you warn your neighbors first!) Skunks do not like loud noises or vibrations and will usually beat a hasty retreat!!! 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!
