I searched for this but I may also have an answer. Domestic feline kitten replacement formula is used to help lost baby squirrels survive. Perhaps that may also work for a baby skunk? Cow's milk can give the baby animals diarrhea, in which case they will dehydrated. Posted by autoguy.

Baby skunks wil generaly drink their mothers milk which wood be like a cat or a ferrets since they are so closely related. Once they get weaned off milk they will eat crickets, snakes, birds, eggs, insects, fish if they can get them, and basically anything else they can catch that's edible.
An infant skunk can be fed on puppy milk replacer with a little Grape Juice and vegi oil added. The grape juice is for vitamin C. Never use kitten milk replacer because it will kill the skunk within a week or so. As the skunk kit grows, add moisted dog food. Switch to cooked, diced veggies and chicken (no bones) when the kit is ready.

Wild skunks, along with many other skunks, eat a variety of things. The main things eaten by a skunk are bees, earthworms, and other insects. Frogs, lizards, birds and their eggs. Also mice or rats along with many other rodents. They also eat honey! I think that is pretty coolio!

If you determine that the skunk is orphaned, it will have littermates that also need help so continue to check the area frequently for up to a week. If no others are found it is vital to the skunk's proper socialization and release to be raised with other skunks, a single skunk has little chance of a successful release. Contact vets or local humane societies to try and find a buddy. If this is impossible, handling of the skunk should be minimal, give toys to stimulate, keep confined (i.e. in a cage), and do not treat as a pet. It is illegal to keep as a pet plus it wouldn't make a good pet, as it's a wild animal.

Skunks are omnivorous meaning they eat both plant and animal products. Some things they may eat are earth worms, small rodents, or frogs.
