Do People Really Keep Pet Skunks?
Pet skunks are among the more exotic mammals kept for pets, but they in fact make very loving, devoted, and playful additions to the family. Most people who are curious about pet skunks are naturally interested in the odor issue, as skunks are infamous for smelling very strong. Skunks which are kept as pets have their scent glands surgically removed to eliminate the problem, usually at a young age. After surgical alteration and being spayed or neutered, a skunk can be a fun member of the family.
