We have this shed in the backyard, not too far from the house and over the years there has been opossum, skunk, etc under there . . .we evicted with have a heart trap, block up where they can get in and forget it . . .so I thought nothing of Rhianna going crazy near the shed this Spring . . .figured it must be another opossum because it didn't smell of skunk at all . . .thought so until last night at dusk . . .
So I'm outside, and hear a rustling sound, look over to where the shed is and bam, a beautiful skunk (really, I mean it, it looked clean, it's white was sparkling white). . .I was like hmmmm, interesting . . .I stood there a little while and bam a second skunk was out . . .
Ok, so now I'm intrigued . . .it wasn't like a mom and babies, they were the same size relatively . . .it started to get darker so I just stood there, listening, they were bunching up some leaves (like squirrels do for their nests) and then BAM, a third skunk was out there . . .
I just stood there in awe . . .really?! Three skunks? I don't know if there were more or are more . . .and I don't know what we are going to do about it . . .like I said, they don't smell and haven't sprayed, but they cannot take up residence there . . .the dogs will go absolutely nuts if they see one . . .I'm not going to be able to tell if they all leave because I only saw 3 . . .so I cannot wait til the 3 leave and then block it up . . .there might be babies or more of them . . .Ugh, what can I do???
