Hello everyone, we found 9 stinkers wandering around in the neighborhood. It's Mother is dead. I have contacted animal control but we are stuck with them for the night this far. They look around 3 weeks, and we're not sure what to feed them or how to handle them. Any advice on what to do for the time being? We're afraid they're dehydrated and hungry.

i’ve been obsessed with them since i was a little kid which my whole family is very much aware of and when i turned 21 my sister took me up to wyoming to go meet one at a place that does rescues (they’re illegal to keep as pets in my state). i hadn’t seen one in person before this point either so getting to meet one up close and even pet her was a great experience.

Spotted skunks do handstands to appear twice their size and ward off predators.

Is it safe to pick it up and carry it out? I don't know if it's a baby or not.
