2. The skunk

Are you looking for an exotic pet that is easier to care for compared to others? Skunks just fit the bill! We know that these animals might strike fear in most people because of their smelly reputation, but when in captivity, most of them are de-scented. Skunks are one of those cuddly and smart animals one can have in their home.

They have sympathy for human companionship, especially if you prefer to adopt just one. What could be funnier than playing hide and seek with it when you come home after a long day?

Some things might be kept in mind before you consider adopting a skunk: they are illegal in most states, and you will need to find a vet that has exotic animal experience. Make sure you also have enough space in the house for it to roam free.
