To Jan Harvey, thanks for your response. Ethan was neutered at 3mos. old. Apparently, wild skunks are often very unpredictable, even when raised in a loving, domestic environment. This is just Ethan's personality. We will always do right by him and he will always stay in our home. And we never let him around anyone but ourselves. Be it a child or adult, if he ever bit anyone but us, it would be the end of him. So we can never be too careful. [Posted in FML issue 1492]
