Mr. Bumble, a pet skunk has been put on a crash diet after ballooning to double his size due to enjoying two bacon sandwiches a day.
Mr Bumble tips the scales at nearly 15lbs - twice his recommended weight. The North American skunk is being cared for at the Tropiquaria Zoo at Washford Cross where they are working on brining Mr. Bumble down to 7lbs.
The park pwner Chris Moiser said,
“He’s a very sociable little creature and loves all the attention being lavished on him here.
‘He’s on a vegetarian diet at the moment. It’s very much like a human weight watching issue with plenty of exercise.”
