Finally! Wild caught pink skunks brooding/nesting behavior! Look at that belly!

[Seancj]

I purchased these wild caught pink skunks about 9 months ago. They didnt come in as a pair, but very quickly paired and bonded in my Magnifica garden, designed a long time in advance with them in mind.
I've been hoping they would become a breeding pair.
I was very excited to see this behavior today, on my birthday none the less! I thought her belly was looking a bit more rotund the last few days, and she's been nipping at my hand during maintenance.
I can't get too close to the tank with the phone out, as it spooks them, but more videos to come. Maybe I'll get lucky enough to catch the egg laying and fertilization.

Wow! You gave them the anemone castle of Versailles to do nature’s business and have their cake too. They better do it or else off with their heads !!! Just kidding
