Newborn baby raccoons, crying, yawning, Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins

[RainyDayGirlx]

Just gorgeous.

[sayehhhhhhssvideos]

the mom came back the same night and took the bigger baby but left behind the smaller one so we waited a day to see if it would comeback and it never did, so we ended up taking the smaller one to a lady who raises raccoons and she took care of her from there.

[g0strydr]

raccoons are so cool. my friend had one as a pet. it was wild when it was young, but he kept feeding it so it stayed. it ended up being a fat little lapdog. one day he let it out and it never came back. :(

[Thedoglovergal]

They sound like birds

[CrocoGamers]

they remind me of playing Tarazan =)

[phabbiola]

aww I want to kiss their bellies!

[SuperLegostarwars8]

were do you if those animals?

[1999lekovic]

@SuperLegostarwars8 where do you what if those animals?

Grammar Problem? F;

[Billmaster20]

COONS!

[lololo728]

ouch, there claws kept on kidding cought in the towel. Wouldn't it rip off the nail :(.. I also didn't realy ilke how she was holding them .. :/

[MonsterFishies]

Putting them on an old cotton t-shirt is better because their little nails won't get caught like on that towel. I applaud how you help these animals. It's so kind. :]

[Ladyj0hnson]

omg too cute!

[monkeystandoff]

looks like toys to me

[pokemantrader]

i dont like how you hold them

[Sum41ayman]

mary cummins hehehehe

[forgetfuldays]

See how your hand is FULLY wrapped around the animal? Not like the baby raccoon you were pressing against the wall in another video of yours.

Such a liar....

[foughtwolf]

@forgetfuldays

Go fuck yourself. God no one cares. This woman devotes so much of her life to dealing with these animals that would otherwise most likely be killed in the wild or simply starve to death.

[katydid26]

Too cute!! I love their little sounds. :)

[amberisthebesttt]

about 1 week ago i found these 2 baby raccoons outside my house, so i put out some applesauce and stuff, because they were climbing up my leg and trying to get in my house. the next day they were still there so i took them to a forest at a park near my house. they came back today. they're cute, but what the hell should i do with them....... should i take them further away?

[threeby8887]

@amberisthebesttt By all means! The further the better. At least 5-10 miles from where you caught them.

The only problem is, relocating these animals is illegal in some states. So you might have to find another way of getting rid of them before they become pests when they grow older.

[amberisthebesttt]

@threeby8887 should i shoot them in the head like you do?

[threeby8887]

@amberisthebesttt It's not always necessary to shoot them, but relocating is illegal in some states. Hopefully it isn't in yours, and if that's the case, relocate the raccoons as far away from your house as you can to decrease the chance that they will come back.

But if you can't legally relocate these animals, shooting them in the head would be the best available option. At least that way, the raccoons die quickly--they don't have to suffer--and they don't get to become a problem later.

[threeby8887]

@amberisthebesttt Actually, I'd much rather trap these animals (if they're on my property) and relocate them into the wilderness. My problem is, the state I live in only allows us to relocate them no more than two miles from where we caught them. And since I live in the middle of a major metropolis, two miles in any direction would still be in an urban/suburban environment, so relocation at two miles would only put these animals in someone else's yard or building.

[amberisthebesttt]

@threeby8887 thanks for the help. i relocated them earlier today to a forest about 10 miles away. i guess i'll see if they find there way back, which is unlikely i would think.

[threeby8887]

@amberisthebesttt Yeah, you should be okay if they're 10 miles away (and didn't see the route you drove).

[threeby8887]

@amberisthebesttt Also, when relocated two miles away, a lot of animals, raccoons among them, can find their way back to your property. And I would not want that happening. So if Animal Control can't or won't deal with these animals, and since I'm legally limited as to how far I can drive with these animals to release them, that leaves me only two choices: either break the law by relocating a lot more than two miles, or kill them. Headshots are the most humane version of that option.

[threeby8887]

So Animal Control can deal with them. If they can't or won't, I would prefer to trap and release them several miles from where I or anyone else lives, but that's illegal in many states. So instead of poisoning them, I would shoot them in the head, preferably at close range. That way they do not have to suffer.

[threeby8887]

Raccoons may be cute, but they are destructive animals that carry diseases, most notably rabies and roundworm.

Nevertheless, I have changed my position on poisoning raccoons and other animals. Namely, I don't want them to ingest the poison, go inside their nest or somewhere else on my property, and die there. Then I'd have to deal with a dead animal stinking up my house or yard.

[Xplorati0N]

Then they grow up to be the rabies infested raccon on Harold and Kumar get the munchies.

[sartanko]

You think you're all manly and tough and shit, then you watch this!

[TheMadBreeze]

Its my gandpa not my father and be lives in arkasas and he only feeds animals that live in his backyard

[TheMadBreeze]

Omg u guys should NEVER poisne racoons. They r cute and if u let em into the forest, my papa haz them in his backyard cuz its like a forest and he feeds them cheep dog food and they love it! And he also feeds turkey and deer and fox and he haz a bat that lives on his porch he LOVES it and so do we there not ever mean but they all learned to be nice to the people that feed em

[threeby8887]

@TheMadBreeze Fine, if your father lives in L.A. and if raccoons ever get onto my property, he can come and pick them up. Otherwise, I'd have to get rid of them myself, because I certainly do not want them getting into my house.

[sayehhhhhhssvideos]

How do you feed these? An exterminator caught them in my attic and the mom is still up there and for now until hes back the babies are with me. i have them in a box with a blanket and a heating pad set on low underneath it. is going to die by tomrrow morning if i dont feed it? because i have no idea what to do please let me know

[MaryCummins]

@sayehhhhhhssvideos Put the babies in a box directly outside your attic. Mom will go to get her babies. Instantly block the entrance to the attic so mom can't go back in there. Mom will then take her babies to a new den one by one. thx

[threeby8887]

@MaryCummins And if ol' mommy ratcoon does try to move back into your attic, call the exterminator or animal control. Or you can put some poison up there for them to get rid of them once and for all.

I understand marshmallows that have been injected with auto antifreeze are supposed to be effective.

[altertheskyy1]

@MaryCummins When a mom leaves behind a batch of babies, does this mean that somehow the mother senses that the babies aren't fit to survive, or that something is biologically wrong with them? Why would an animal abandon it's babies unless it was hurt/died therefore being unable to return and grab them.... It makes no sense to me. Sounds more like something humans would do. Ha....

[MaryCummins]

@altertheskyy1 Mom will only abandon babies if she thinks there is something seriously wrong with them and they will die. Otherwise we only find orphans if mom has died.

[threeby8887]

@sayehhhhhhssvideos Here is an even better idea:

1. Put the baby raccoons into a small steel cage.

2.  Put this cage inside a live trap big enough for a adult raccoon.

3. Fasten the babies' cage to the inside of the larger cage with wire, hooks, clamps, etc.

4. Place the cage outside the attic, and just wait for ol' mommy raccoon to show up.

5. When she is inside the cage-trap, take the whole family into the wilderness, and release them all. :)

[threeby8887]

@sayehhhhhhssvideos This way, the raccoons do not merely move onto another part of your property, or move into someone else's property to cause them problems.

[BruisedASScheeks]

@sayehhhhhhssvideos so how did that work out? i want to know

[ZoldierrZzz]

@sayehhhhhhssvideos

So did the mom get the babies?

[adiuohero888]

ACTION FIGURES

[Coolrx24]

maybe these crying because you picked them up like that! I hope they crap in your hand!

[kendradsarge]

Did these babies survive I had 2 babies their eyes not even open yet we fed them kitten replacer and they ended up not surviving and we would stimulate their butts to poop idk what happened :(

[XsammieeimmasX]
