I loved watching this. Did I detect a southern accent? I moved out into the country in the south 2 yrs. ago I love feeding the wild animals and birds. Thank you for sharing this video. It blessed my heart.
Awesome! You people are wonderful with animals that's why animals show up at your house because they sense your love! Great video... was so shocked to see baby raccoons go right up to people like that!!!!!!
TO MARIANNE POOL SHOOTING McGEE - I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF TH-cam RACCOON VIDEOS AND LEARNED THAT THEY ARE INNATELY INTELLIGENT, FRIENDLY, SOCIABLE, FAMILY-ORIENTED, SWEET ANIMALS. EVEN THE WILD ONES ARE EASY TO TAME.
bella didn't want those toothy critters to get anywhere near her nipples and those babies look hungry hopefully you guys are fostering them they can make decent pets
dogs are not running out of fear of the raccoons . they are running because they get hollered at if the humans think they will hurt the baby raccoons . those poor dogs are confused and scared of doing something that will upset the humans .dogs are not comfortable and don't know what to do .they should just put the dogs in the house .
cute when they are young but when they get older they will become aggressive. Similar to when your kids become teens and mature. You need to make a choice Dogs or Racoons, I was part of a animal rescue and had racoons, squirrls, chipmunks, great horn owls, barn owls, and many more that I help rehab back to the wild.
Nah...racoons don't attack humans... They will, however, play hell with your garden and if they get into your house, they'll tear it apart... Especially if there's six or eight family members eating junk food in front of the TV for eight hours every night...which I bet describes this clan pretty closely... Best to leave 'coons out in the wild....they can be pretty destructive...not to mention rabies.. On the other hand, they're hell on snakes...and mice and rats... So pick your poison...
I must say that it's not cool for baby animals to be touched by humans the babies might keep from there moms to stay with the humans.. And they could have many deseces
Apparently mom must've gotten ran over because these youngsters were "rescued" off the local highway. At least that's what it says in the video description up top. Now, at least they have a chance of growing up. Left along the highway they likely wouldn't have lasted a couple of days, at best. They should take them to some type of wild animal rescue organization where they'll likely be relocated back into the wild eventually.
She's right, once they get old enough and hit puberty if they are healthy they become very aggressive and will try to mate with you and frustrated. The problem is now they are imprinted by these humans and won't learn what they need to know to survive in the wild. They might appear to be chasing a dog away now (though I think they maybe are really just trying to find an surrogate mom but the dog is afraid of them) but that's not good if they are ever put back in the woods and think they can chase a hunting dog away cause that won't happen and they will be killed. BTW, my friend is a wild life rehabber and often has baby raccoons and they reach through the cage to touch her lab mix and play with the dog through their cages (they very curious little creatures) and even put their hands in the dog's mouth. It is very cute and all but at a certain age my friend makes sure she separates them from herself and her dog and lets them get wild out in her large backyard cages. She then keeps them fed and watered but interacts as little as possible with them. In fact on their release days, she has to wear heavy leather gloves to catch them, crate them and then take them to a rural site for release. She has been doing this for 20+ years. She has kept raccoons & opossums who are either blind or crippled in some way (as long as they are not in pain) and those animals wind up making decent companions as they seem to know they can't survive without human help. Another rehabber friend also told me the same info regarding raising them and treating them as pets. IF the raccoon is healthy and is not disabled in any way, they will not make a good pet once they hit puberty and she learned that 30 years ago from personal experience with a healthy raccoon that she rehabbed and decided to keep. It did not work out well for the raccoon and she had to find a zoo that could take it as it never learned to survive on its own but was also not happy after hitting puberty and often tried to bite her. Had she not been able to find a zoo or other facility, it would have had to be euthanized. (It is also true of squirrels and opossums.)
PapillonOne if they are fixed, the aggression problem from trying to mate is diminished. I know someone who kept a healthy one and had it fixed and it was a perfect pet throughout its whole life. He kept it because of a huge bobcat problem at the time where everything was getting killed. You can argue Darwinism and let nature take its course, but sometimes if the creature really is happy in its surroundings and isn't causing problems, it doesn't hurt to just keep it
Yes, that is a good point. My rehab friend has kept a little raccoon who has neurological problems and she did have him neutered when it was clear he couldn't be released. Neutering is a great option to reduce problems. Thanks for pointing that out.
My pet raccoon thought he was a cat. He loved to play with them, and he used the litter box just like they did. My dad found him on a HWY out in the middle of no where, his mom and baby siblings were all dead beside him. He had to be bottle fed for a while. He would have been a coyote snack if we released him. He was so young when found that he probably thought we were his family.
These babies are so innocent animals.
Little fluff balls are so cute. Funny Rott running away.

I must say that it's not cool for baby animals to be touched by humans the babies might keep from there moms to stay with the humans.. And they could have many deseces

Deseces
they are not in anyway pets ever.and they wouldn't get away with chasing my dog off
Carol Church you're mean

It's not smart for humans to touch a racoon's baby the mother might rejected them.
NO that is not true. It's an old wives tale and it is also not true of touching baby birds either.
If you read the description it says they were rescued off the highway
That's ignorant, but raccoons will kill your small animals like cats and kittens and that's a fact.
My pet raccoon thought he was a cat. He loved to play with them, and he used the litter box just like they did. My dad found him on a HWY out in the middle of no where, his mom and baby siblings were all dead beside him. He had to be bottle fed for a while. He would have been a coyote snack if we released him.
