Aren’t skunks vegetarians mostly? It’s not like a Dogs and Cats which are basically pure carnivores.
They’re omnivores and opportunists.
Their role in nature is to wander the world looking for lunch. Insects, vegetables, small rodents, etc.
In nature, they expend a lot of energy looking for food. In a domestic home they don’t have that burden so they’ll fatten up fast without a good diet of non-strachy vegetables and lean protein.
Not unlike me and my desk job.....
If you’ve never seen the series “Life of Mammals”, I highly recommend it. In it there’s a short segment about some skunks who live around bat caves and patrol the caves for bats that have fallen to the floor.
