Striped From Birth. A skunk mother gives birth to a litter of two to 10 babies, or kits. Each kit weighs between 32 and 35 grams. They are born without coats, but their striped patterns are present in their skin pigmentation. By their eighth day, the kits are able to release musk from their scent glands, at 3 weeks of age, their eyes open. Kits nurse from their mothers until weaning occurs at 8 weeks of age.
Pups open their eyes at around 10 days but it can be longer. Usually if they aren't open by 12 days I take a cotton ball, dip it in warm water and gently wash their eyes. Sometimes they have some after birth left in them or they've gotten milk in them and they're stuck. Don't try to pry them open. They'll open in their own good time.
