I've Adopted a Skunk

Not Pepe le Pew?

Wild animals not in distress do not need people to feed them.

Good for you, OP! This is from PETA:

A skunk is one of the most peace-loving, non-aggressive animals you could ever meet. Skunks are also extremely nearsighted. They will only “shoot” their defensive spray when frightened, and they give you plenty of time to back off by stamping their front feet as a warning. Only as a last resort will a skunk turn and fire the foul-smelling spray from his or her anal glands. This spray is the only defense that skunks have. They can bite, but that isn’t much of a defense against a large predator.

Dollface alert!

Do they hiss and flounce like eldergays?

Stop feeding it now.

Stink butt alert!

Next thing you know OP will be fingering Pierre.

Does it wear a caftan?

Just FYI, you have to assume that every skunk carries the rabies virus; just sayin’

Or vice versa.

[quote] This evening I made him a plate of egg, parsnips, bananas and freeze dried grub worms.

Geez OP, will you soon escalate to beef Wellington followed by baked Alaska? Did you offer the skunk a choice of wines?

Name him Darryl, after the backyard squirrel.

Dollface thread.

They are know to be great pets somewhat like cats. They can get excited and spray out of lust.

Sounds cute at this new stage… but if it goes on thru the coming seasons and this skunk teaches its babies to eat this way, you might end up with a problem.

Here's a guide on what you can and cannot feed Pierre.

OP, if he's getting this tame... a photo will be easy, just sayin

I think a lot of us here would like a pic

How aromatic, OP! 🦨

sir, this is a wendy's

I used to live in a rural area and had skunks, possums, raccoons, deer, and turkeys in my yard

Here he is with this evenings smorgasbord.

Opossums cannot contract rabies and will rid your yard of ticks.

He really is a beautiful animal, OP! It’s great that he is learning to trust you.

I hate groomers.

There is an old lady in my neighborhood who has put out so much food for the deer in my area that she has caused an Ecological Chernobyl.

R22 /OP You came through with not just a pic but a video!

That was fast!

You are feeding it for your needs and pleasure but the food is not helpful.

I guess here we have another tell me you're white without telling me you're white thread.

Pierre is so cute! Pretty soon he's going to tell all his friends.🦨🦨🦨🦨🦨

What's your address?

OP feeding wild animals is never a good idea but if you insist on doing so, feed him on the ground or on a piece of cardboard that you can dispose of along with a rubber glove to pick it up. By handling a food dish you are exposing yourself and anyone else in your household to parasites and disease, including rabies.

But googoo gaga he's so cute. I lurv ❤️ my new BFF.

Thanks for the tip r32. It's just an old plant saucer but yes I should not be handling it after use.

Are you trying to fuck the skunk?

I wish I had anal glands and could stink spray people on command. It would come in handy at the airport.

Skunks love tiramisu and pasta carbonara but not if it's overcooked

People with anal glands tend to take the bus in my experience

Riding the bus if for poors R38. And Retard Rosie.

"Adopting" wild animals not needing intervention is naive, harmful, and rather pathetic.

Stop it.

I have it covered.

DL hates skunk nepo babies.

R37 = Hannibal Lecter

Closer, closer, just a little closer...

Why is this post now greyed out and crossed out? (I have my settings at asbestos eyeballs)

Not greyed out for me and I'm not on the asbestos eyeballs setting. Muriel must be hitting the sauce early this morning.

Greyed out for me too

Not greyed out for me, and I have my settings at Asbestos Eyeballs.

The loopy anti-skunk contingent on DL never sleeps!

Greyed out for me now. Muriel woke up and stumbled to the kitchen.

Greyed out for me as well.

I thought Pierre was the Christmas Moose? Anyone remember him? A lovely poster who died 2-3 years ago.

Not greyed out for me!

It’s black and white for you, OP at R51.

Greyed out for me too now. Asbestos eyeballs

Does this mean I won't be able to post a video of tonight's feeding later?

Maybe graying it out is an ironic statement on the subject of the thread, an homage.

Fun Fact: Female skunks are does, male skunks are bucks, and young skunks are kits, the stinking little squirts. (Nailed once only, but dealt with numerous dogs that tried to pounce the tang beast. Most LOVE it, except in the eyes and mouth. Second favorite to rolling on something hot with dead.

You can always start a new thread, OP/OP parodist) , if you want to post another thread. They usually don't chase unless they're one of the True DL Horrors.

R24 Why?

This has shades of Greg. Didn't Greg also have some groundhog family in his yard that he ended up relocating?

His Bengal cats probably chased them off.
