Someone told me that he has a friend who owns a skunk as a pet (deglanded, obviously). This has me intrigued - do you know of anyone who has a skunk pet or have one yourself? Does the deglanding have any negative side effects?

Like ferrets, descenting minimizes odour but does not get rid of it. There's no harmful side effects.

They are fairly good pets, sort of like a lazier ferret. Friendly but independent. Their only really bad behavior is they will dig and tear at your flooring, panels, etc and try going in dark places they shouldn't (like behind a stove). Also illegal, even with a wildlife hobby permit, in a lot of cities.
