Whys the poor thing in a cage? They shouldnt be pets ours has an eye missing so she cant go back into the wild, but she has free roam of the house garage neighborhood yard etc... She doesnt go far usually never even leaves garage.
@Punkherper Well, it's too late now considering she's more than likely habituated to people and that would be the death of her, but a missing eye would not get in the way too much.
I have raccoon feeders on my property and I feed them Ole Roy hard dog food. Plus they get cornbread and treats such as mellows. I've been feeding them for 7 years. None of have rabies. None are mean. I hand them food and they take it ever so gentle. They don't appear to wonder far from their home hear. They usually have 3 babies each at birth time. Once the babies are old enough, they show them the feeders and soon introduce them to me.
Contrary to the sickening dribble, coonies are fabulous, My family and I have lived with and loved raccoons for longer than most of the people commenting here have been alive. They live very well in the company of humans who understand and respect them. The pen this one is in is fine, the coonie looks healthy and is trying to be sqee cute so someone will take him out and cuddle him..
@GrackleMomma yeah,i mean,whats the dif. between a raccoon and a cat or dog?its just an animal like anything else.besides,a dog or cat can get the same illnesses if they don't have there shots.
racoons are the best animals ever. they are so hated becuase they raid you garbage cans and seem violent. but really, they only are trying to survive in this world.
Actually, raccoons can be quite vicious. Watch Billy the Exterminator. (He saves the raccoons and releases them to the wild, no worries. o.o) and it's so common for them to carry rabies and other diseases. I do agree with you though, I wish they weren't so hated. :c If people learned to leave them alone and properly put away their garbage in a way the 'coons couldn't get at them, there wouldn't be a raccoon problem.
You nee a raccoon sized box, a stick, some rope, some food and a forest.
Go into the the forest with your supplies, support the raccoon sized box up with the stick (open side of the box pointing downwards). Tie the food to the top of the stick using the rope. Make sure the rope is taut enough so that any moving of the food would cause the stick to move and subsequently the box to fall. Then wait.
Okay. Yeah, I was wrong when I said that. Raccoons are normally shy around people. However a lot of them are curious. I guess raccoons will only attack if they feel threatened or if they have rabies. Still though, these animals have a special place in my heart.
@marenonline he was probably rehabing the raccoon and nursing it until it was old enough to be released :] if its released at a really young age its likely it will die.

So sad ... Why does this lovely raccoon has to be behind steel mesh ?
marenonline 3 years ago 20
Because raccoons can be dangerous. Can't underestimate what they're capable of once they reach their maturity.
MDthornton83 3 years ago
@MDthornton83 :
Thankyou for your comment.
However, I disagree with you.
It's not in the nature of raccoon to be agressive.
Sure, they will defend what they consider to be important. This has nothing to do with reaching "maturity" as you call it.

@MDthorton83:
You're totally right where you guess is that raccoons will only attack when threatened or cornered in any way, and/or carry disease such as rabies.
The curiosity of raccoons is not in any way like 'Curiosity killed the cat'.

You morons, this raccoon isn't expressing love or giving him a massage - he is looking for the food and wondering why there isn't any in his hand.
