Little skunks love to play.
They enjoy it when you get on the floor with them. They love to stomp their little front legs at you, and then they scoot back wards. You do the same with your hands, stomp, stomp, and rake back. He will repeat the process, sometimes circling around and repeating it. They love to play with toys.
