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

I just picked up these orphaned newborn raccoons from Culver City Animal Control. Mom abandoned them in a warehouse. They will be released back to the wild when they are able. Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates. http://www.animaladvocates.us

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

@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

@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....

@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.

@oxmoroid, I'll try to make the videos longer. Thanks

Just gorgeous.

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.

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. :(
