Answer 1

you should first check the legality of skunks in your area before going to the trouble of locating a breeder.

Then, be sure you can find a vet that will vaccinate your skunk and treat it if it becomes ill.

Acquiring a skunk if they are illegal in your area can lead to serious consequences (such as confiscation and possibly euthanasia of your skunk).

And even if it is just for vaccinations, your skunk will need veterinary care, and you will be stuck if you can't find anyone to treat your pet when needed.

Make sure you understand their needs, personality, dietary requirements, and vaccination requirements BEFORE getting a skunk to make sure its something you can actually handle so he doesn't end up an abandoned statistic.

once you take on a domesticated pet skunk, you can't release it back into the wild as it will die.

Answer 2

You may want to check the laws in your state first. Many states outlaw having pet skunks. Mostly for rabies reasons.
