What do wildlife rehabilitators do with Pompano Beach skunks?

Do you have a Florida skunk that is causing havoc? Wildlife rehabilitation centers might be able to help you. They are determined to stop the critters from being a problem, without killing them. Skunks are wild animals, and they deserve to be protected. It is not as easy to comprehend when they are digging under your foundation or spraying you. Wildlife centers are working tirelessly to return them to their natural habitat.



Trapping them
They will come and trap them in a humane way. They will place cages or exclusion funnels in the area where the Pompano Beach skunks are living. Once all of the skunks have been captured, they will be removed. This enables them to eliminate the problem, without desperate measures being taken.

Rehabilitation
It is important to ascertain whether the Florida skunk is healthy. If they have any medical problems, or if they are hurt, they will be treated at the center. The centers also study skunks to determine which diseases they have. This enables them to prevent it from spreading to other animals or even people.

Releasing them
Once it has been determined that the Pompano Beach skunk is able to be safely released, they will return it to its natural habitat. They will make sure that it is not released back onto your property. If a baby skunk has been rescued and raised by them, they can release it back to our property if you choose.

Orphaned babies
Skunk babies are born in Spring. On occasion, the mother will be killed or trapped and the babies will be orphaned. Wildlife rehabilitation centers will then take the babies and raise them. Once the babies are able to look after themselves they will be released back into the wild.

Injured skunks
If you see an injured Florida skunk on your property, phone a rescue center. They will come and collect the animal and get it the care it needs. They are dedicated to protecting wild animals and will help you determine whether there are baby skunks in the vicinity.

Why phone them?
Wildlife specialists are trained to take care of wild Pompano Beach animals. They know how to remove and release wild animals without getting sprayed. Instead of attempting to remove the offending critter yourself, phone someone who has the necessary expertise. This is especially important if you have found a baby skunk. Do not attempt to feed it or domesticate it.
