You've gotten lots of good advice already. My only question is, "Is it cute?" :)

As counterpoint to skunk stew, let me offer you Skunk Haven: http://www.skunkhaven.net/

Yes, some people actually keep skunks as pets! When they are de-scented they are no stinkier then ferrets. OK, yeah, so that's pretty stinky. :) And, no, I'm not suggesting you keep a wild skunk as a pet. I'm not that evil. (plus that would be illegal)
