Biology and Behavior. Striped skunks mate in February and early March. Females give birth in May, often in woodchuck burrows, to an average litter of six. It is not unusual to see a female skunk with a line of little black and white copies following her across a damp pasture or lawn on an early July morning.
Striped skunks nest in burrows; males will usually den alone, while several females will share a multichambered den. Theyâll often use an old burrow dug by a woodchuck or fox, or build one in an old log or under a building. Gaps in a homeâs foundation, as well as underneath wood or scrap piles, are also potential homes.
