I really can't keep this in any longer....my baby skunk was born on the 16th May, so as long as everything goes ok I can have him anytime after the 27th June! Sooooo excited, I have brought him an igloo bed, a really fluffy baby blanket, a newborn giraffe teddy with a rattle (yes I know but they like to play with things that make a noise!) & a giraffe blankie thing! Some nail clippers, because their nails/claws grow really fast a baby rabbit brush so its nice & soft. Oh & some baby rabbit shampoo lol! So yeah I'm kinda excited.
