Which means they don't die.
Which means you either have to let them out, or kill them. I have no way to kill the skunks without getting close to them. So I let them go, because I'd rather not have a) a guilty conscience or b)smelly dead skunk carcass rotting in a cage that I'd like to use again. As a result of my mercy, they don't leave my property. That's mostly why I was pleased to find a new treat on my lawn over the weekend. Someone (I like to think God) had taken care of what I wouldn't.
I took the liberty of moving the remains into the hole where the groundhogs live. I'm not sure what will happen there. I imagine a scene of shock and horror as the good 'lil hogs return home from a hard day pillaging to find a skunk carcass blocking their front door. At that point, they pack up and leave, never to return.
Or they relocate inside the house, change the locks and leave me to die.
Not this guy though:
He's been relocated to greener pastures elsewhere. Or at least as long as it takes until he finds his way back.

Was this guy captured before or after you put the skunk in their abode?
Maybe they're just onto you and using you as a free ride to new digs. They probably have advertisements up all over groundhog land, extolling the virtues of the Sameltoe Audi vacation ("Free peanut butter, leather seats, bigger fields!"). Perhaps you should relocate them to somewhere less desirable, like a dumpster.
That is really false advertising, as they stay in the cage, in a garbage can, in the trunk. They should demand a refund of their purchase price (which I suppose would involve vomiting up their lettuce bait).
I need one of those water balloon launchers. I could send them into the pond.
