We were able to find some animal traps and caught all 3. They’ve been eating and seem to be doing okay. They are on their way to the rehab center! ❤️
A momma skunk has been coming and going for a while. We tried to deter (humanely) for a little while but now there are babies. However for the past 2-3 nights mom has not come back (video camera is out. It may have been low battery one night but it has been working the past two nights, has picked up on baby movement, but has not caught the mom coming at all). Called a local wildlife rehabilitation and they recommended waiting one more day if they don’t seem stressed. The rehab is about an hour away so we would have to trap and drive them there. Game and fish just referred to the wildlife rehab.
Any advice? Some water has been left out for them. Should we try any food? Wait longer? We are trying to find some traps but if so is there a safe way to trap and drive them without getting sprayed?
