Yes, they can, but it probably won't constitute a complete diet in the long term. Skunks are omnivores so while they do eat plant materials such as berries, nuts, roots, mosses, fungi, leaves, and grasses, they usually also need some animal protein in their diet to stay healthy. Rabbits are herbivores. The epithet "rabbit food" used to refer to salads and other low-calorie, vegetarian fare is a rather apt description of the type of food rabbits eat. Rabbit's metabolisms are adapted to convert plant materials to what they need but skunks metabolisms are not adapted the same way so lack of animal materials may leave them malnourished.
