BOTTOMLINE is that civey cats or skunks have "aromatic" glands. Pray they don't get into a hissy fit, and fog you my friend!!!....

Really I never knew that in all the years we have raised skunks.

I know the secret word so they don't spray.

Yes we have them removed. They naturally have a musk smell to them but not the odor of the spray.

I remember seeing on your website that you raise skunks, Spectrum Ranch. Please, please post some pictures!!

I would love to see more of your domestic skunks. Do they make good pets?

Here in Missouri we call that a spotted skunk.They are on the endangered species list here and illegal to hunt or trap them.

Well if they are endangered you can have them all. We have a lot of them around here and they are quite common. Most people have never seen them but I have trapped quite a few. We call them Civet cats too.
They have tons of them on Santa Rosa Island too where I used to guide hunters. They were like pets living in the ranch house. They never sprayed and came out after dinner and searched under the table for scraps. It usually scared the new guys half to out of there wits.
