Busby walks on a leash, ââ¬Åfollows the kids around,ââ¬Â snuggles with his owner at night, and rarely stinks up the house. Itââ¬â¢s an impressive featââ¬âfor a skunk. Heââ¬â¢s one of some 2,000 kept as pets, the Daily Mail reports. ââ¬ÅHeââ¬â¢s incredibly affectionate and sociable,ââ¬Â says his owner. ââ¬ÅBusby made a stink once and it just smelled slightly of garlic. But since weââ¬â¢ve trained him, there have been no problems.ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅHe has a litter tray and uses that like a cat,ââ¬Â she adds. Indeed, ââ¬Åthe dogs make more mess.ââ¬Â Skunks weigh up to 18 pounds, are 15 to 37 inches long, and usually live about 10 yearsââ¬âand they can cost up to $2,500, the Mail notes. Fortunately, ââ¬Åif they are trained properly when they are younger,ââ¬Â says a breeder, ââ¬Åthen there is no need to worry about them spraying.ââ¬Â
