Aw, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a skunk that up close before. He’s just like a puppysquirrel.

It just goes to show that EVERYBODY loves have their ears and belly scratched – and then they want to go to sleep.
Awwwwwwwww! He does crazy leg like a dog then licks where it’s itchy like a cat!
awwww so adorable <3 I hear they make great pets, too..
Maybe it’s just the pregnancy hormones talking, but that is one of the cutest things I have ever seen in my life. I am on the cusp of tears. I think I might need help.
the little foot! he’s loving some lovin’
I have worked a lot with baby skunks and I can tell you they are the cutest critters in the world. Playful as kittens, fur soft as a mink. Illegal as pets in many states, not good in your house (will tear up plants /carpets looking for food), but they are great rodent control around a farm…
It’s too bad they won’t let you have them as pets, they are soooo cute.
aww so adorable. I love the end so sleepy oh oh so sleepy too much luvin just tired him out aww
Adorable, even the flat top haircut he’s sporting.
lol its a skunk-tamer!!!
*was killed by cuteness overload*

Back in the early 80s, Sis had a pet skunk. He was the sweetest little guy. But miss 1 bath and…. le-pew.
My head asploded of cute.
He is the cutest little guy!! His itchy spots were found and he loved it. Definitely loves his loves!
SQUIRRELPUPPY <3
So totally, awsomely cute!
Naaw how cute that is when he flaps his lil leggie xD
I had a skunk for awhile. My brother found him in the woods behind our house and brought him home. He was just a few weeks old at the time. We had him until he was about 4 months old and then gave him to a wildlife rehab. He’d get so worked when you played with him. He’d stomp his front feet and then “charge”. Cutest thing ever!
What you are describing is a threat display. Cute only if you had his musk glands removed. Otherwise the next posture would (depending on the species of skunk) be glands toward you and fire or handstand and fire. Where upon you spend the next few months learning to breathe skunk stink and speak to your friends, family and employer only through the internet while you hose down your abode every couple of days with tomato juice in a multi-gallon sprayer
Actually, it’s also a play behavior. they run around then stop and stomp their front paws, they turn in almost a U-shape as if they are about to spray, some play hide and chase, all in good fun. It can be confusing for a new skunk owner, standing in one place and stomping is typically a threat, but running toward, or away from, another and stomping is typically play behavior.

Take it from a former skunk rehabber, tomato juice does NOT work. Diluted bleach does. Peroxide (strong conc, not 3%) with baking soda does. Forget trying to salvage your clothes no matter what you use – those must be buried or burned.
A skunk just a few weeks old is blind and hairless and sure doesn’t look like a skunk. Eyes don’t open until they are a month old. Yours must have been older. Also the foot stomping thing is a warning, but baby skunks will do it a lot and rarely actually spray. Especially if you give them food. They LOVE to eat.
Awww! She must have found the good scratchy spot… and then when he got all tietie…. eep! SO cute! *squee*
I keep saying skunks are cute, but no one wants to believe me! Here we have incontrovertible proof!
adore the little darling – all the way from Australia!
so precious… after a bummer of a day, seeing that made it far better!
What a cute little stinker!
Awwww! That was the squee-est thing ever! The little leg going is just sooo cute! Me wants!
so flippin’ cute! and i love that he falls asleep as soon as his tail touches his nose. I want a skunk now.
Aw, reminds me of when I volunteered at a wildlife center and one of the few species I wasn’t allowed to handle was the skunks because, in my state, skunks carry rabies and, as a volunteer, I wasn’t vaccinated. I still feel like my life is not *quite* complete as a result of that deprivation. On the other hand, when one of the paid, vaccinated staff tormented me by cuddling a little skunk in front of me, there was a bit of payback from Mother Nature. The baby had just reached the point of maturity where it could spray. Which it did on the person tormenting me.
awwwww! lookit him liddle leg go!
While I have heard that skunks are generally very sweet and friendly pets, they are unfortunately weasels which means: smart, curious and mischievous. Not a good combination of traits unless you can keep an eye on them every moment that they are awake and uncaged
