An alternate method of descenting skunks

WG Eastland


ABSTRACT

Striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis) scent glands were ligated closed with waxed dental floss to allow them to be handled during toxicological studies without fear of scenting. This descenting technique was more rapid and less traumatic than scent gland removal. Thirty-four skunks were kept for less than or equal to 127 days and did not display behavioral or physical abnormalities due to this procedure.
