I love their trilling and it's so sweet that they call for and follow you like you're their mum. Good to know you've released them all back into the wild. You've got a good heart to take care of those babies.
I thought this was somewhere in Ontario by the accent it's amazing how the dialect is so similar to Canadian even exaggerated, Wisconsin dialect is most definitely the most like Canadian. Love the raccoons btw
Aw, I just adore those cute trilling noises they make. What happens to them when they reach adulthood? Will they be released into the wild? I know some animals can but others can't b/c they become too tame.
@saprater25 Yes, they all are released back into the wild. We own a small farm, mostly wooded now. By September, they are starting to get wild and afraid of humans (hard to believe given how they act in the video).
Really adorable <3 you're doing great work. I'm glad there's people like you out there to rehabilitate these little orphans and give them another chance. They're such very intelligent and resourceful animals. I'm glad these babies get to go back to the wild where they belong. <3 Again, great job!
@expressivechild It's Fox Valley milk replacer formula for raccoons, mixed with rice baby cereal and mashed bananas. This get them started on the very idea of eating solid food.
@lovehair13 Yes, I hold an advanced wildlife permit with the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources. I've been doing this for 10 years and have managed a wildlife center. But you're right to ask...
(part 2 ) to leave them on there own , so we decided to leave them be,and let them use the crawl space, ( by the way the crawl space is o the 3 story of my house) it was a few months later , and they all peaced off, and the mother, and another raccon, still was using the crawl space, im not sure is the other raccon, was one of the babys or not , but every time my cat would run into it out side, they wouldnt fight each other, they would sit there, and smell each other, i think they where friends
@KONSMITH Thanks for leaving them alone. They really don't like to be so close to humans, but there really aren't so many nesting spots available since we've moved into their territory. They'll move out once the babies are mobile (as you discovered). Folks pay hundreds of dollars to have them removed by critter control trappers. Save your money and a few lives.
raccons wont attack if you treat them with respect, we had a mother raccon give birth to 4 babys , and it was living in the wall right beside my bed, i was living at my mothers house and could hear scratching , and squeling , so i opend up the crawl space , cuz i thought mabey my cat had given birth or something, and wanted to see if it was kittens, sure enough it was a bunch of baby raccon, the widelife person told us we could throw them out side, or wait til they where big enough to( read p2)
I've had wild raccoons and baby's for years, they are very manageable and can be great if left in the wild and they do not get to a second or third stage of rabies.
You really don't want a raccoon for a pet! They can be pretty mean once they reach mating age. If you really would like to work with baby raccoons like those in the video, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or center and ask to volunteer.
Well I do agree with you well thats what I have heard also I had my raccoon for 3 years and never once attacked me or anyone else but you have to and always remember that these are wild animals, but I have to admit she was one of my most favorite pet I have had well she came and went as she pleased and one day she didnt come no more.
You would enjoy "Raccoons are the Brightest People" by Sterling North (author of Rascal). Lots of stories about raccoons making people their family. They can make amazing pets, but I've also seen them become unmanageable. I was asked this summer to "soft-release" a pet raccoon that had gotten too aggressive.
Anyone who is even considering keeping a raccoon as a pet MUST Google these words: baylisascaris procyonis.
@floydoliver23 Raccoons are wild animals. Everyone raccoon has their own personality. I am also a wildlife rehabber and no, it is not good to keep them as pets. I commend Kosborn for helping these babies out.
you cant buy raccoons, and they wont have them at pet stores lol, usually people have them as pets because they saved them-something happened to their mother
wow, where you got those baby raccoons, i searched all over the webs and pet store, but they dont have them.. i have seen one near the pool at the night once and i fall in love with them and i checked around the vids on youtube, they are cutecutecute lil creature, adorable!! please reply thankyou~~
