"you really held one ? sound cool .
what do they really like to eat ? if you reed the comix the ask if we tast like chikkin xD.
i dont think that skunks eat people ."

 

So far my skunk guest hasn't tried to taste me.

 

I've been trying various foods I have around the house. He (or she, haven't looked that hard under the tail) loves a party mix of cookies (Famous Amos or ginger snaps), Sun Chips and a variety of flavored popcorn. I give them this as a treat since I'm sure it's finding more nutritious things elsewhere. I also give it leftover turkey and chicken and egg. Here's a site describing feeding pet skunks: http://hubpages.com/hub/What-To-Feed-Your-Pet-Skunk

 

BTW, Eugene is not a pet. He come to my porch every night to eat. The thing is I sleep on my porch almost every night (because I like to). Its eating wakes me and I have a one way conversation to help make it comfortable with me near. It comes up to my bed even when I sit up and lean over to hand treats. I hope to actually have it take a cookie from my hand as it gets used to me. It even lets me take flash pictures as it eats so no stress here.
