In some states it is legal to own a skunk as a pet. You can purchase a skunk from a breeder if it is legal to own them in your area. You may want to look for ones that have their scent glands removed.

Yes! I saw two at a pet store. They removed the stink glands, and the skunks are very tame and friendly.

I have had two friends with skunks as pets and they tell me they are very much like a cat.

There are de-smelled tame Skunks

Apparently they make good pets.

Do not go out and catch one to be a pet, this is very dangerous!
