Scent marking

[Stacey]

I'm curious. A skunk that leaves a small patch of urine on it's blankets is scent marking right? Doesn't this stop after the skunk has been neutered? If it does then approx how long is it before it usually stop scent marking?

Sometimes it can just be them having a tiddle because they have such a low intake of water, when they go to the toilet, its usually only a very small amount.

Ahh.. well this little guy piddles enough to form a puddle. (He's on a bit of a diet so it's probably the cucumber.) It's jutst when I change the paper in his litter tray he'll go in it and do a ickle patch of wee wee and when you give him a frech clean towel to wrap himself in he does the same.

We only homed the little guy about two weeks ago. He's really timid but is slowly coming around. I just hope this wee business stops as when he's grown in confidence and trusts us I don't want to end up slipping in it. haha.
Emma's going to foster him for us as we've still not found a property yet and hopefully her skunks will help him gain confidence in himself with people. I'd feel really guilty if he decides to leave little pee patches around her house.
