A SKUNK!

One of our customers at work keeps this as a pet and brought him in for us to cuddle!

His name is Stinky and he is very tame and friendly, it is the first time i've seen a skunk up close and i want one now! We got to let a few locusts loose in the shop for him to chase around

I have to say, it made my day much more interesting and i just thought i'd share it with you lot!

I suppose they are treated with the same ignorant bias that our snakes are given. It is still a cute beastie.

Yes he was lovely! The owner didnt have a harness for him yet so she was just carrying him around in her arms, he was very laid back, and we were all passing him around as well and petting him and he was quite happy to have cuddles from everyone. When i was holding him he had his head resting on my shoulder and seemed perfectly relaxed!

She has two small children as well who are quite rough with him and pick him up and mess him around like children do, and he was perfectly fine with them

Wow! That is amazing. :) I have to agree with you...I'd definitely love to have one just like that if it was as easy going as that one. ;) Thank you so much for sharing your awesome pictures.
