Striped skunk at
GarLyn Zoo. Yes, the skunk at the zoo are descented meaning they can no
longer spray. This is important for any captive skunk. As you know this
is the skunks defense against trouble or danger and what a defense it
is. Skunks have a bad reputation of carrying disease but skunks have
been in captivity for years and unlike the wild skunks they are
basically clear of disease and make an interesting pet. They can be
house broke and trained to use a litter pan like a cat does.
Here at GarLyn Zoo the skunks are raised in more of a wild environment and
not handled a lot. They are fed a variety of vegetables, carrots, sweet
potatoes, dog and cat food.
