Re: unusual pets

Actually, speaking to someone who owns a pair of skunks, their diet is easier to maintain than a sugar gliders.
They need additional calcium and Taurine (about 500mg a day). They require a mixture of meat, fruit and veg as they are omnivores and they need to eat a crunchy food of some kind (either in kibble form or raw vegetables) to maintain healthy teeth.

A basic morning meal for your pet skunk adult can consist of:


¼ to ½ cup thawed frozen vegetables (no asparagus!)
1 tablespoon cooked chicken or turkey
2 teaspoons of cooked rice, oats or cereal

And their evening meal can be:


½ to ¾ cup fresh or cooked veggies
2 tablespoons of cooked chicken or turkey
1 to 2 teaspoons of nuts, cooked grains or bread
1 teaspoon of yogurt
