Skunks are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal material and changing their diet as the seasons change. They eat insects and larvae, earthworms, small rodents, lizards, salamanders, frogs, snakes, birds, moles, and eggs. They also commonly eat berries, roots, leaves, grasses, fungi, and nuts.
In settled areas, skunks also seek human garbage. Less often, skunks may be found acting as scavengers, eating bird and rodent carcasses left by cats or other animals. Pet owners, particularly those of cats, may experience a skunk finding its way into a garage or basement where pet food is kept. Skunks commonly dig holes in lawns in search of grubs and worms.

What herbivores are not consumed by the owl?
Well, when you think about it, more animals are herbivores than what is commonly referred to as plant eaters. For example, horses, elephants, and giraffes eat plants, not just small animals. Of course, herbivores are not the only things owls eat. Skunks, for example, are omnivores and are also the prey of owls. In reality, there are alot of herbivores not consumed by the owl, but, what I get your question was asking, almost small mammals in an owl's territory are eaten by them.
