Skunks are not commonly kept as house pets, primarily due to legal restrictions and their specialized care needs. In some areas where it is legal, domesticated skunks can be kept as pets, but they require proper handling, socialization, and diet. Though skunks can be affectionate and playful, their strong odor and specific care requirements make them less popular than traditional pets. Overall, the number of skunks kept as pets is relatively small compared to more conventional pets like dogs and cats.
