Nuts – Raw, salt free and chopped nuts should be given as snacks throughout the day.  They are an important source of Omega’s and good fats.

 

This suggested chart is for babies only!  No fruits or sugary foods are on here until “seizure season” is over.  After the age of approximately 4 months, meals should be cut back to ¾ cup of vegetation a day, split between 3 meals.  At around 6 months of age, depending on the metabolism of the skunk, meals can be cut ½ cup vegetation, split between two meals.

Healthy treats, such as nut pieces should be hidden around the house for fun hunting that keeps them active.

 

Pet Skunk Support Factors are recommended to be the only supplement given.  Do not mix with other supplements!
