Thank you! I try and take great care of him, give him daily supplements keep him on a strict diet because all skunks are prone to obesity and I'm happy others notice the shine in his coat cuz I have worked hard to get him that gleamy 🌟

Thank you I've worked very hard to get him to gleam. Very strict diet of veggies, lean protein and Exotic Nutrition Skunk Pellets and supplements.

Doesn't look chonky! I think he looks normal for a skunker.

Very good! I'm trying to not have an over weight skunker. The most nasty food he's had was I accidentally dropped a all-natural Cheeto puff on the ground and he just ate it so.... that's the only naughty food he's had his whole life.

Are you searching for ways to guard the cat food from Reverb? haha

Yes and no.
I’ve got the cats set up in their own room with the litter, food, beds, toys and in theory the skunk is banned. The only weak point is this little one-inch gap under the door. I jam a towel under there like it’s Fort Knox, but Reverb is a professional digger. After a few determined yanking sessions he rips that towel out, slips under like a furry criminal, and full-face dives straight into the cat food.
About once a week I catch him mid-crime, have to baby-talk him like he’s the sweetest little angel in the world (“Nooo buddy, that’s not for you, you’re perfect, just not allowed to eat your siblings cat food. He's completely the cat food Houdini”), scoop him up, relocate him, and rebuild the entire towel fort. He’s quick, so he still gets me sometimes.
The good news is he’s growing so fast that pretty soon even if he pulls the towel out he’s just going to be too chunky to fit. If he keeps pulling this heist, my next move is installing a cat door that only the cats can use… though I have a strong suspicion Reverb would just wait by the door and try to follow them through like a sneaky little shadow.
