tt,
if real young, milk of course. Our skunks at work ate whatever soft they scavenged from our patio cans.
A skunks jaws are weak as I recall. I think they will dig worms also.

I have had the mother for over a year and she has not gone anywhere near the worms. Sinse i let her stay i do not even have a mouse. But she seems to be gone and just the babies are here. There eyes are open and walking. I might try cat food and milk.

Oddly enough, this past week I got an email where someone had found some baby skunks with the mother dead. Their cat had just finished nursing it's litter and with some coaxing they got the cat to nurse the skunks!

Well not very happy the city send a crew to kill them . I only got three out before they got them. I just cant believe they would go to that much trouble to kill some 4 or 5 week old babies. Anyway I took them out to the woods and gave them some dog food and a couple of large buckets so they had a home to start. Very bad weather here the last couple of weeks . Tornotoes, rain like you would not belive my site is a total mess had to have a bulldozer in to drain my trenches. My indoor site was getting a new roof and they never got it finished before the tornato . So was there yesterday and my bins are falling in on each other just a big mess.
Anyway im not a happy camper this week.
