:confused: Penelope my pet skunk is 9 months old we are gettin a new baby in june, will they get along together?? Or will she try to kill it? How do I introduce the baby to her? The baby will be from the same parents just a year younger so actually they will be sisters. We decided to get the 2nd one because Penelope seemed lonely at times.

You never quite know what an older skunk will do to a new baby. Though I rarely have heard of anything awful happening, nor have ever experienced it myself. The first several introductions should be well supervised. First of all, showing equal love of course, let the older skunk become familiar with the scent of the young skunk. Preferably using two people one to grab each skunk; introduce them on floor level. This is where you should be as well. Don't show fear or anticipation. See what the reaction is going to be. If all goes well, let each additional visit go a little longer. You should become familiar with their reactions. Chances are, everything will go fine. Let the little one get some experience and size before leaving them alone together. Penelope will enjoy her new companion I am sure. Please let me know how it goes.
