They eat vegetables, fruit, tuna fish, turkey, chicken, some grain cereals, and eggs. Skunks need these foods for good health. Acutally, if they can get ahold of them, theywill eat lots of things such as chocolate candy and cat food that is not healthy for them. Keep these things out of their reach. And, of course, as will any other animal, no matter what type they are, make sure that your pet skunk has plenty of clean water to drink at all times.
Skunks are just like little kids in that they are curious about anything and everything.
They will get into your pocket book, empty out a bottom kithcen cupboard, or anything else they can get into. For this reason, you will need to lock-up all of your household cleaners and other things that they should not be into. They are not destructive little creatures, just very curious. It would also be a good idea to block off stairways and any other place in your house that your skunk does not need to be into. They can use their little paws like hands and can get into lots of things.
