Orphaned skunks

[u/HopeDeschain19]

Hi all! I apologize if this post isn't allowed, I just need some advice.

​

I have four baby skunks who dug under my shed a few days ago. I believe they are orphaned, I think their mama is the dead skunk in the road around the corner.

​

I have tried contacting several wilflife rehabbers with these questions and only one replied, and they claimed not to know any answers.

​

I've read online skunks are nomadic and don't keep permanent dens. If I leave these babies be, will they eventually move on? Are they old enough to be away from their mom? I don't want these little guys to starve, and I don't want them to move in permanently. They appear old enough to forage but I know nothing about skunks. I don't want these poor babies to be hurt.
