Baby Skunks Were Rejected By Mother At Birth, But Our Dog Freddie Took Over As Stepmum!

ADVERTISEMENT

Our baby skunks were rejected by their mother at birth. We had no choice but to do our best to keep them alive and hand rear them. They were all under average birth weight and really shouldn’t have made it but they did!

We had to hand feed them every two hours to save their lives, Freddie never left them, she stayed by their side 24/7 and took care of them like her own.

That's really stinkin' adorable! I love the fact that dogs can be so nurturing toward another species, and instinctively know to be gentle.

What do you plan to do with them when they're older? Do you want to get them neutered or?

How did they find these babies in time? Why did the mother skunk reject them?
