skunks are so adorable 🥰
If I ever owned a skunk as pet, I’d name him Stinkbomb
Dr. K ‘s exotic Pet veterinarian
Cutie
Tucker stole my heart away 😭
Skunks are illegal to own where I live since too many people were keeping them as pets lol.
"Some other stuff" **air quotes**
Would’ve been nice to know if he was potty trained.
non-stinky baby!!!
Not gonna lie, if I had a pet skunk I’d unleash him on small children.
Nice job 👌👌👌
luckily in nature nobody plays freakin’ doctor and gives you " shots" . why this family and this " doctor " think they do something positive ? where this f.. idea become a trend ? really humans lost their minds
Awww. So cute. Especially babies..
Please add malayalam language NG wild
Quite interesting
Well that stinks
Disturbing to see a skunk in private ownership. It’s a wild animal and no pet. Even removing it’s ability to defend itself. The glands should be there. Because those shall not be in a house. Tucker is absolutely more than happy. But again, wild animals in private homes on a permanent basis, not good.
Always wanted one as a pet…
yes
Can he be taken for walks like a dog?
Himb a chubby chubbers.
Being a human being doc is madness… But vets are on another level of mad
He’s gorgeous, but do they have that musky smell like ferrrets?
I want a lil skunk! I’m gonna have to move to Florida it seems they can have all kinds of pets plus the heat would be good for my RA lol
Try those textured bowls that they use for cats. You know those bowls that are specialized for cats to slow their pace when they’re eating.
It’s Chunky Skunky!
“Overweight skunks can have issues with heart disease and arthritis “ just like humans then !!
Cryptocurrency is the best thing that happened to this generation. Many are called but few are chosen. Be wise.
He just a kitty kitty😁😁
What state is this??? Skunks in most states are illegal to keep as pets..
Not my area if expertise but shouldn’t they cut his nails?
I just found a new favorite show, who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by cute animals all day? ❤️

We had a skunk named febreeze. She smelled like the real thing
Hims a chonk ☺🥰 I didn’t know they were so sweat and nice, why do people kill these things. They are legit calm <3
Skunks have some pretty healthy teeth.
2:20 Kinda hard to take animal obesity seriously when you add humorous drum sound when she calls out his weight.
Foraging for food mimics wild behavior while encouraging activity. What did you learn about skunks from this video?
Sorry, but skunks are no pets. The same with racoons, foxes, fawns and such. And they REMOVED his glands?! That is the skunks first line of defens! You wouldn’t pull all of your dogs teeth out, would you? It is sick enought when people declaw their cats, this is sickening. If you want to get in touch with nature go on a hike in the woods, but don’t get an animal that you have to mutilate so you can keep it as a pet! Especially if you don’t know the propper way to care for it and this applies to exotic and non exotic pets.
Yep…just like cats…they gain weight fast…
When did pets get vaccine What
I have always wanted a skunck!!
He sure loved carrots
Normally when a skunk taps its feet and has its tail up, those are normally warning signs that it’s about to spray you. Now since this is a domestic skunk I could see why the body language would be for different things, but seriously never ever go closer to a wild skunk when it’s tapping its feet.
If you choose to care for a pet skunk, please don’t get them descented. Scent gland removal in skunks is unnecessary as they only spray when they think they’re in mortal danger. If you raise them right and make sure to acclimate them to people like you would any other pet, there is no danger of being sprayed.
Skunky (Skunk) !!!!!!
2:01 I bet low key her anxiety level when up a bit (thinking "it better not spray.."😬😰🥴)
I would lol.
I walk my dog very early in the AM and pretend we are hunting to make her happy. She saw a black outline in a field by my house (I thought it was a tire.) So I got low, we were hunting, run up on it. Ye, it was skunk. Skunks are not afraid and move slow. I now smell like Pepe.
Skunks are illegal in Australia.
