Listen now
Description
Gail Buhl is back with Part 2 of her discussion with Ruby Davis, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Director for the Carolina Wildlife Conservation Center. In Part 1, episode 8, Ruby discusses her origin story and the natural history of the striped skunk, a common skunk species in North America.  Here in Part 2, Gail and Ruby do a deep dive into the rehabilitation techniques of young skunks in care. That includes feeding, behavior, husbandry, and even how to avoid getting "sprayed." Ruby includes a spray scrubbing recipe to get the smell out of your skin and clothes in case it does happen.  Next episode, Gail welcomes Amanda Nicholson back to the podcast to discuss having "crucial conversations." A lot of tough conversations come up in the course of wildlife rehabilitation, so you won't want to miss episode 9! Back in season 2, episode 13, Amanda talks with Gail about social media best practices in wildlife rehabilitation.   Special thanks to Partners For Wildlife and The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.
