Can't take the bunnies home away from them.
When we had raccoons in our corn field, we had someone set a live trap containing ears of fresh sweet corn as bait. We didn't catch the raccoons, but we did catch a skunk. No one wanted to release it from the trap, so I opened up the trap myself to let the skunk go. He seemed very drowsy and walked away slowly without any problem. Skunks are really quite sweet so long as you don't menace them. You might find a local wildlife conservancy group who can trap the skunk for you. You could also trap it yourself. I put out a live trap (from a farm supply store) in my back yard to try to catch rabbits that were bothering my garden, and I caught squirrels, an opossum, a cardinal, and a blue jay. No rabbits, though. I released them all.
