Told hubby it just seems like we cant get a break here, but thinking about it we did.

Yes, glad he is safe and overall okay!

Yeah they are. It was pretty little though which worries me that it's a juvie, and the parents are still around....

And litters are usually 4-6.
So there can be 5 more skunk puppies out there.
Same happens with possum younguns'...you get one a day in the trap for 6 days in a row !

Jack in a skunk fight may be next !

Hopefully not!!!

Oh good to know !
Maybe good for Einstein's feet as well !

Oh...FWJ and others:
The bleach solution, made up & poured 100% in a spray bottle is excellent for disenfection of counter tops, sinks, toilets, shower, plastic shower curtain, drawers & shelves in the refrigerator, incubators & brooders, as well as any other surface that needs disenfection, such as bowls the chickens ate out of, plastic water fonts, plastic feeders, and so on.
Spray it on whites to spot bleach, such as a really dirty pair of white socks, in a load of whites you do not want to add alot of bleach to.
I also use it for cleaning table eggs.
In 2 large margarine tubs, add 120 degree water, and a dash of the solution.
Now add eggs to one.
Wash each egg with sponge & then put in the 2nd tub to rinse, all total 30 seconds in the water then place in colander to dry, and then in cartons to refrigerator.
Saves me tons of $ on cleaning products.

Great....

Keep your gun cocked !
beware the younguns are most likely just "kicked out of the nest" and maybe hangin together...like under your house, barn, horse trailer or somewhere else close by.
I think teresa is the skunk expert here !!!

Hopefully not!!!

Cheaper than porcupine fights !
Seriously, the only thing we have not seen here is our Bob cat that comes around every 30 days...maybe someone got him ?

CL that's a great idea! I need me a spray bottle, I'm gonna use that from now on! I don't do a whole lot of disinfecting usually, just because IMO we better get sick sometimes to help our immune systems stay strong, but I'll use that in the bathroom and to wash eggs for sure! You should check out Norwex or E-Cloths. They are microfiber cloths infused with silver; I use them for days on end with no stink because after the cloth is rinsed in hot water and hung to dry overnight, it neutralizes the bacteria it picked up all day. LOVE me some E-cloths! I use them to clean all over the house
