Editor's Note: I'm suddenly now "mommy" to 3 wild orphaned baby skunks
  that live under the wood pile by my front door.  (A car killed the real
  skunk mom.)  They're silly cute beasties; little 5 inch long bodies
  with 4 more inches of tail.  And quite wild.  At night, which is when
  they're active, you have to find them in the dark, leave some cat food
  near them -- and then you quickly/quietly flee!  Don't do it that way
  and the neighbor's cats scarf a free meal while the babies go hungry.

  I've never raised skunks before, so I'm sort of winging it.  All I know
  these 3 pups aren't going to die.  Not on my watch.  When you least
  expect it, God plays a practical joke on you.  I'm a "skunk mommy" now.
