@PichuBoy He and his sibling were found when he was only a couple weeks old. When mama didn't return, the person that found them brought them home. The sibling was very sick, and eventually died. I took this one in to raise. He currently is only about 4 or 5 months old, but is a very big boy already! =)
@PichuBoy So far! =) He is cage-trained (for sleeping and when we are not home), so he has done very well to date! When they reach sexual maturity is when they get aggressive. I am hoping to find a vet that will neuter him. If I can't, I will probably build a big pen for him outside. We've successfully released others into the wild, but since he was hand-raised at such a young age, I don't think he would fare well in the wild.
so i take it that a domestic raccoon?

Thanks! =) A lot of people think I'm crazy for keeping him, but I think raccoons are amazing little creatures! And I love him to pieces!!!
