Skunks

Nature's gentle pest controllers

About Our Skunks

Skunks are some of the most misunderstood animals in North America! Our de-scented, hand-raised skunks are gentle, curious, and surprisingly affectionate. They're members of the weasel family and play an important role in pest control.

With their distinctive black and white stripes, skunks are easily recognizable. In the wild, these colors serve as a warning to predators. But our friendly skunks have been raised around people and love interaction and attention!

Skunks are omnivores that eat insects, grubs, small rodents, fruits, and vegetables. They have excellent hearing and sense of smell, which helps them find food. Watch them use their long claws to dig and explore their environment!
