      They like to stay up late like human teenagers too. I have an old barn that raccoons use for their dens and around late June/early July every year I start seeing the baby boys walking back from the woods by themselves after sunrise.

    My mom has raccoon friends too. There’s three babies and a mama, then one that comes by itself, then we have a opossum family as well. They all have names. Despite my mom trying to distance herself, the babies literally love her. They stand at her window banging on it until she comes over to see them. They were stealing from our bird feeder, so we decided to make a feeder for them with raccoon friendly snacks. Occasionally they do get Fruit Loops (which we were told they particularly enjoy, by a wildlife rescue, funny enough lol). It so cute watching them do their rounds around the neighborhood, before stopping at our house to see my mom and sometimes get a little treat out of the feeder, or a drink and swim in the pond. On July 4th all of them sat in our pond eating hotdogs while watching fireworks. It was hilarious.

    So long as he's committed to long term feeding of local wildlife whilst not ideal, it shouldn't prove harmful if he sticks to unprocessed foods. Mostly it's usually best to only intervene with supplimentary feeding during times of food scarcity such as Winter or early Spring for wildlife. Long term supplimentary feeding can lead to disruption in natural foraging skills and overdependence on Human caregivers meaning that if for any reason the human caregiver/s suddenly disappear, overly human dependent wildlife can suffer.

    One late night a few weeks ago 2 baby coons came to me for help while I was on my porch. They were between 3 and 4 weeks old and small enough to hold with one hand comfortably. Damn they were cute. They warmed up to me instantly and by the first day they already started treating me like "new mom". (I gave the mother a chance to get them when I first found them, but it became apparent she was dead.) I've taken care of and raised dozens of types of animals, and dozens of those I found in the wild or it was the other way around like the coons. The coons are definately the sweetest, most trusting, and easiest babies to take care of I've ever seen, which went against the pre-conceptions I had. They're at an age where they are getting more curious now and soon they'll want to explore more. Their favorite activities include grabbing and trying to steal my hand for snuggles and naps, or climbing me and hanging on. Often times perching or lying down on my shoulders or the top of my back.
