I come into contact with baby skunks on a daily basis at a park which I visit. They are approximatey 6-8 weeks old and are quite adorable. I have noticed that even when I am within a couple of feet of them, they make no defensive gestures as do adult skunks I have encountered in the past. There is no foot stamping or tail raising--they simply run away when I get too close. So----not wanting an unpleasant surprise---I would really like to know at what age they are armed and ready. Thanks.
