- Different cool facts about baby raccoons. From birth until they move out on their own! Listen to baby raccoon sounds!
#babyraccoons #babyraccoonsounds #raccoonsounds
I looked up what raccoon babies sound like because I live in a huge house and I seen there is a raccoon getting in and out of the top of my house, and now I can hear these poor raccoons up my chimney crying! So I got a man to come and help them
It is always best to have a pro come and get them out safely.
Ive been feeding a female Raccoon now since November of last year. Im pretty comfortable with her and she's pretty comfortable with me. She generally comes everynight but that slacked off end of Nov and December but saw that in winter they sleep alot. When she started coming around again on a regular basis she was MUCH skinnier and figured out she was bigger before because she was pregnant. She comes up on my porch and eats and will eat out of my hand. Loves Honey Roasted peanuts more than anything else. She feels even comfortable enough around me to actually take a nap a few times after eating night rather than going straight back to her babies because im sure they wear her out. Started buying cat food for her now because healthier im sure than junk food but i always give her few goodies too every night (loves her Cheese Puffs and Peanutbutter crackers 😁) the other night she brought her 2 barbies with her and have to say they are cute little things. I can tell the mother isn't worried about them being close to me or me harming them, again ive fed her now going on 9 months but they are still little skittish and only came the one night. Waiting for her to bring them EVERY night which im sure will be sooner than later.
And yes I KKOW ive checked off EVERY SINGLE THING that they say you should NOT DO WITH RACCOONS and oh well, never been much of a "rule follower" anyway.
She does keep the babies close when she is on the porch eating usually right over the fence i can here the two of them talking and climbing on trees. So far they have only come over the fenc3 once while moma was eating and didn't get to close but the mother was clearly not worried about them being around me. They were just too nervous to come to close but sure they will soon over the next week or two.
I have to say she's a good mother and listens for them the whole time shes eating. One night before she had the babies following her around another adult raccoon climbed the fence and just watched her eat and just stood on the fence and was not very close. I don't leave the food out and when she comes up beside me on the porch and eats, soon as she's done eating i take up ALL of the food and clean the porch because NOT feeding any others except her and her babies. Once she saw him/her (other raccoon) perched on the fence watching her eat she slowly got up, climbed over the fence (in a different spot of the fence of where the other raccoon was at) and she charged him hard and I heard some fighting and growling. Hoping it was "my raccoon" that won the fight, i sat there quietly waiting to see if she came back and hoping she was not hurt. Finally she came back over the fence and started eating again and i was relieved. Dont know what the other raccoon looked like after the fight but she (my raccoon) had a nasty scar on her face and luckily it did not get her eye because the cut/bite was close to her eye. She has since totally heeled up and is fine now. Did some research and saw that some mother Raccoons won't tolerate other raccoons coming around their area if there is not alot of food around or when they have babies around in fear that other Raccoons could hurt or kill her babies and she did just that. Haven't seen any other raccoons other than her and her 2 babies ever since
It’s 11pm on a Monday and I’m so glad Im here watching this video. 10/10
Thank for watching!
Excellent video.
I've been having raccoons visit more often lately and I'm looking forward to them bringing their kits around May or June. They have sweet voices.
Noisy also. Makes it easy to find out if the raccoon in your attic has babies.

Greetings
Fortunately we have a flat roof, no siding and no basement. They really can't cause us any harm.
@@makeracistsafraidagain in that case...enjoy!
You can have all mine lol
Thanks for the video! Left my windows open all night to cool the house down and was repeatedly woken up by what I thought was bird sound. At 6AM I noticed the sound ceased, and to my surprise I saw a raccoon with a baby in its mouth climb down from one of our tallest trees!
Look around your soffits on your house to make sure she didn't move them in your attic. 😁
God i love baby raccoons
Super cute
Oh man I love raccoons. I found a baby male cowering on a little ditch bank. His mother got hit by a car. I was catching scarlet king snakes up in Davie Fla. About 1981 when I found him. I took him home, raised him up to an adult. He took off and was gone for months then later brought his mate and pups back to my house.
They can be a hand full if you keep them after adulthood.
@@TheTrapperGuy Oh man they are a full time job. Tear everything up. They are pranksters too.
@@timothybarken8023 I have had friends who raised them. I know. Lol
My first one when he was still small disappeared and I couldn't find him anywhere. After about 30 min.of searching I opened the refrigerator to find he had gotten closed inside of it and he had annihilated avocados,lettuce and other goodies
@@timothybarken8023 lol
The way he’s holding that raccoon by the scruff and the raccoon is just hanging there like “what do I do now?”
😂
I heard don’t feed the Cooners?!!! Well I break that rule every night!! Currently have three adults and four babies!!
Generally not a good idea....but I'm not the boss of anyone. Lol
I was out riding my fourwheeler a little bit ago and came across 3 babys in middle of trail. I shut my machine off and waited a little bit to see if mom was around. After waiting 45 min an no mom I walked up to them and well I brought them home. My wife and I both hold them and are feeding them baby cereal. They are very nice and like to be held and very vocal. Guessing from your video their about 8 weeks old.
I wouldn't keep them too long. They can become a handful.
Yup, that is how our chubby Los Angeles CA raccoons are like.
Lots to eat there I bet!
Awwww. You should keep one.
A sidekick!
Already at a rehabber. Besides...I thought you were my sidekick. :)
I have one.. but she’s the hero, and I’m the sidekick. She wears a pink tutu to fight crime.
For the first time in over 30 , we have five raccoon kits playing in our backyard. They were just out there a few minutes ago, and it's 10:30pm. This morning they were out there at 5 am. They stalk each other, roll around and chirp.
Cool!
The raccooons in my area attaceked my dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shes was small but she died it was cray cray fly high 2017-2021🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
the saen tgubg hapened to mym dogo he's dead now.
@@raccoonstore m sorry fo ryou dog raccoon loss too
Hi Trapper guy. We live in North Port florida. We had a mother come in the spring and bring her two babies. Now the babies are grown and they're on their own. And Mom has returned with four babies. And she was here about 2 months and we were feeding them and everything was cool. But then the weather got cold and they disappeared. We're worried what do you think happened to Mom and the babies
Impossible to say but not necessarily anything bad. They are wild animals and anything could have pushed them somewhere else. Another food source, better shelter and danger from predators and even fighting among themselves. I do have to caution against feeding them. Bad things sometime happens to both you human...and raccoons. 😁
Very interesting to hear about kids staying with mom for up to a year if there's enough food available, because for the past 2 years I've had a mom bring her kids from that year (born in april/may) and she always separated from the kids around august/september. Even though I always provided plenty of food for everyone.
As I said at end of video there are many factors (environmental, location, early breeding, etc.) that figure into the times which can vary significantly.
I enjoyed your video, thank you for making it. The cigar bit was cute. I just saw a local raccoon come out from under our shed yesterday pre-dusk, which I found to be so interesting I kept watching her from the garage. She tentatively did three laps around the perimeter of the shed before I saw two heads poke out! I’m editing the longer video right now but I think I just posted one last night as a morsel, please check it out and give me your thoughts if you would. Anyway, after the labs the heads kept poking out, and she kept ushering them back underneath the shed. Eventually I think five kits came out? I’m wondering if it was their first time out because I’ve never seen one of our local raccoons at that time of evening, very strange. I also benefited from seeing what type of gloves you wear, I’m gonna go pick up a pair today. May I ask when it is that they are making the chattering that is so vocal? Maybe it’s all the birds we have in my area-literally up against an entrance to a slough-or The difficulty sound would have carrying from where I imagine the babies were, but I would Love to be able to identify them, and in general be more knowledgeable.
I will check your video out. It was probably one of their first times out. Mom will teach them to come out after dark when there are less people and pets outdoors. I have numerous types of gloves and the ones in the video are auto mechanic glove. They are not made for animals or are they bite proof. Any type of bite-proof glove is going to be bought at an animal control supply house and be expensive. I sometimes handle baby raccoons without protection because I have decades of experience with them and also have been pre-vaccinated for rabies. I certainly wouldn't try and grab your raccoon babies. Once babies are big enough to use their legs and get around...they can be very vicious to anything but other siblings and Mom.
If they are coming out already they can still make that sound...but don't use it as much. It is kind of an infant fussing whine. I will check out your vid. Thanks for watching!
Just found a baby raccon this morning, trying to find a wildlife rehabilitation center to take him. Im guessing 1-2 weeks of age.
Quick question though at this age can they be infected with rabies from mom cleaning them and if so what might be some of the signs?
Yes they can be infected. They don't have to show signs to have it. Always take precautions and try not to handle it with your hands. Also hand sanitizer is your friend. I handle them bare handed sometimes...but I have been rabies pre-vaccinated....and also use sanitizer.
It’s still winter here in Jersey, end of February. There’s a litter of raccoons in our back yard behind the neighbors shed. Our room faces the backyard, and we can no longer have the window cracked open because those babies have SOME LUNGS! They’re keeping up this neighborhood for sure. Is it common for them to have a litter around late winter and not around spring?
I'm from Florida so I can't say for sure how it is up there...but I would have to say no it isn't common up there. Most raccoons have litters in late spring...even here. In Central Florida though, I have seen raccoon litters at all times of the year.
Live in L,A. Ca. Been seeing them and hearing them in our area a lot more often.
They do well in big cities. Lots of food!
so dam cute an animal.
Super cute...but get into lots of trouble. Lol
My sister's pupdog is a cute but mixed-up mongrel - mostly Shih tzu, along w poodle and something else. Looks almost exactly like the purebred Shih tzu nutball dogs my parents had. For a couple of days the little dog had been having some sort of gastric distress, whimpering, whining and Trembling, and approaching us for comfort, which seems to be domesticated dog signals of certain kinds of pain. All the vets were closed or booked solid, and by the next morning she has been fine, chasing her ball, racing around like a maniac, frolicking and scampering and frisking all day with no problem. GREAT!
Tonight, after my 86-year-old sister retired with her pupdog for the evening. I kept hearing WHINING and Whimpering. But each time I checked, her dog was asleep. After a while, she and the dog got up for a late snack.
Without her hearing aids my sis couldn't hear the Whining! I thought I must be going NUTZ!
She and her dog went back to bed.
Finally, I realized the sounds are coming from the attic. Must be a Raccoon Kit all by itself, because there are no other sounds. Really upsetting. Tomorrow (Sunday) I'm going to try to find some animal rescue group.
I put some cream and rice in a saucer in the storage space that connects thru to the attic. Don't Tell her. I'll get someone out to rescue the critter.
Most times mom doesn't make any noise so hopefully you got someone who knows what they are doing.
Iove their little alien feet.
Super cute
Developers leveled a forest behind a trailer park and many of us now have raccoons under our homes, not to mention the snakes, owls and who knows what else. There's no housing shortage there are always empty homes people think they are too good to live in a "used" home.
I ain't fancy!
When you find one that is about four weeks. Are they usually very aggressive?
Hey this was cool subscribed and by the way I believe I may have baby raccoons 🦝 sounds coming from vent early in the morning’s hours. Honestly don’t know how they ended up in there lol it’s been excessive heat warning these couple of days maybe there way cooling off! Question How can i deal with this situation ?!
Google raccoon removal and get a local pro out to help you. There are a zillion things that can go wrong trying to do it yourself...and most of them will make it more expensive for you to deal with later.
@@TheTrapperGuy Thank you very much believe or not this will be the second time removing raccoons 🦝 I had a pro take care of the job. Actually was quick lol
@@CJMusashi87 It can be quick and easy...but can also be a pain in the but even for a pro. You never know with raccoons. lol
Hey trapper guy!
I am looking for some tips on feeding them.
If they have teeth do I need to still give them a bottle or can fruits and veggies be ok?
I am not a rehabilitator so it would be better to check with a licensed rehabilitator or reputable rescue TH-cam channel for care questions.
I taught a raccoon how to talk like a parrot. They are super smart.
🤣
Omg I got a mama racoon and babies in between my insulation of my trailer floor and floor boards. Should I leave them alone? Or get them out of there?
I know this sounds like something a professional trapper would say...but I would hire a professional to move them and then seal it up. You can wait for them to grow up and leave (if they decide to) and then seal it up...but you risk them doing a ton of damage.
I see you moved on from collecting rocks mr Hank Schrader
They're Minerals!
Great video man!
Thank you!
I just heard a noise I wasn't familiar with coming from the woods behind my house and a baby raccoon just comes running straight at me screaming for it's momma so I crouched down so I didn't look as big and it ran right up to my hand and I guess realized I wasn't it's momma so it hissed and ran up the side of my old overgrown chicken coop. Kinda worried something either flushed it out of it's nest or something got it's mom. This little raccoon was running furiously around my yard (after dark) just out in the open screeching. Is it normal for them to freak out like that when they first start coming out of their nest. He looked like he was fully developed and he was fast but still pretty small. Maybe 2-3 months?
Not normal at all. luckily you didnt get bit.
Question, where do caramel and ginger looking raccoons come from? Are they on the wild?
Raccoons can get different color variations. I have seen a black and white one. Those are called leucistic.
We live in a fairly big home in michigan, and we moved here about 2 years ago; we noticed our first winter that a raccoon was getting into the eaves on one part of the house through a torn piece of wood/ eaves. Well we were renting then, but we bought the house and we thought the raccoons were gone and then they returned. Now, it's January in the lower eastern part of Michigan and it's been very mild weather and just now, in my basement, I heard all kinds of crazy scratching coming from inside the ductwork. I thought something was in the actual furnace metal ducts, but now we realize that the noise is coming from the pipe connected to our water heater... and it is definitely the sound of a scared, crying baby racoon! We don't know what to do!
The best thing to do is call a local professional. There are a myriad of things that can go terribly wrong by me trying to give advice online. Google NWCOA. That is a national association of wildlife control operators like me. They have a find a local trapper page.
Just found 2 baby racoons. Watched your video to try to determine age. They came out at dusk down by my chicken coop where there are food scraps in an outer area. Easily caught and put in a dog crate. Didn't see an adult. Really don't want them staying by my chicken coop...can you please tell me if I can release these two elsewhere. Would they be able to survive?? TIA
Without seeing them I couldn't say...but if came out at dusk and found food...then I would say they could survive.
I want one
Not a great pet. Lol
Found a baby raccoon. Thinking maybe 4-6 weeks. Its very wobbly. Could this be distemper?
They are fairly wobbly at that age. They usually get more mobile after 6 weeks on average. If it is truly orphaned it is best to call a rescue.
@@TheTrapperGuy I have....was just wondering about the wobbliness. Thank you!!
@@sha-aronadventures5937 Your welcome!
A week ago I found a mom and a kit dead in my front yard. Today I have two live kits. I think a different mom. I'm worried rabies is going around or someone is poisoning adults. Anyhow it's three hours now and no mom... I think they are maybe 3 weeks old. What to do?
You should find a licensed rehabber in your area. Call local vets if you can't google them, they usually know where rehabbers are. Do not handle the kits and wash your hands very well after touching anything that touched them.
Igot baby raccoons and one passed away and I don’t know what I did wrong
I am not a rehabber...so you should find a licensed one for advice. Sorry.
Can baby raccoon at 3 weeks have distemper?
A raccoon at any age can get distemper. There is no way to know if it has it without a vet looking at it.
UM I might need you! Im near Bay Pines and idk if raccoons or rats in my attic. Just started this week.
Gimme a call and i can set up an inspection.
I have a wild one living in my attic that had babies. Shes been up there awhile and friend's with this street cat. I call him Bonnie and Clyde.The mom comes down the tree and let's us feed and water her. She will only drink water from a Chinese takeout dinner container.
If you don't mind the damage that might be done in your attic...enjoy!
@@TheTrapperGuy well we thought we heard babies few times through the vent. The way to go up is like a locked door in one the bedroom ceiling. It's like a 🪜 that unfolds. So scary to try and go up where babies might be there and don't want to frighten them by trying to feed a different way. They get in and out some other way. I'll hear a big thump around 8, or 2 & 3 am. I'll turn the porch light on and there is one of them beside the 🌳 they climb it to get back up and take turns. I keep the water thing on sidewalk. We took a peep through the bedroom way one time and only seen two sets of glowing eyes we took a picture of it. There's a cat that's a neighbors cat that sets on outside the fence when one of them about to come down. It sets there and looks up near that tree, and you know it's about time for one of them to walk down. We turn porch light and set out food and fresh water. We don't mind winter's getting close they they will be warm. It's like a odd couple thing between animals the cat and both male and female raccoon loves each other lol. My son has worshiped raccoons since he was able to walk and talk ,and now he's young adult now and really enjoys to make sure they have fresh water and food out every night. I've thought about recording it so people can see this bizarre friendship. I haven't got a chance to figure out youtube yet mostly busy. Hopefully I can before winter hits. Its so mind blowing. James the raccoon Whisperer would probably love to see it I'd say.
@@melvinreed5378 You can hire a trapper to get them out of the attic and still keep them on your property.
@@TheTrapperGuy thank-you 🧡 I'll definitely keep this in mind and let my son know today. Most friendly little guy's I try and talk to them like I would dog and I think it makes them feel safe, while we feed them.
I rescued a baby raccoon today and the mom is dead :"( there bones of her so we are trying to feed it milk
You're so lucky. I want a raccoon so bad
Get goats milk or kitten formula
They're fun but alot of work I have one now .. they're alot like monkeys
I would keep a baby and spoil it🥰
😀
I have raccoons that attack one a other in my backyard over the cat food but they are nice they act like they want you to pet them they rub against your leg scares the shit out of me but it's only one that fight and it's huge so I think it's a male but there's like 10 of them and I can't get rid of them or relocate them and it drives me nuts
Don't leave out cat food 24/7. Try to put out cat food at a time when you don't see the raccoons, only leave it down for an hour and pick up bowls and bring inside after. Cats will get used to the routine. Hopefully the raccoons don't.
@@TheTrapperGuy then what are my cats supposed to eat
@@usa4ever2 the food you put down for an hour.
I found one that need our help but he's got teeth barley eats anny solids but loves milk anny tips?
Get it to a licensed or experienced rehabber.
Do raccoons use the same den over and over. ?
If it remains viable and safe they will.
@@TheTrapperGuy Thank you for your response.
@@richardguzzetta9924 your welcome!
I want to raise a raccoon... how do I get one?
I can't help you there. I'm the guy you will suggest you don't raise one. They don't make good pets.
hi could you tame a raccoon and give rabbies shots and have them live with you as a pet
Generally raccoons don't make good pets. They will always be a wild animal.
@@TheTrapperGuy but i seen on fb that there are people that have them like pets i would guess that they raised them scince they were baby s
@@markaguzmanartist630 people do have them as pets but in general they do not make good pets. Most wild animals have much more special needs and precautions to take than a domesticated cat or dog.
bring them back to momma
Momma got run over by a car. I brought them to a rescue.
@@TheTrapperGuy oki. ❤️ r.i.p. momma
I found a baby abandoned. Can I bring him to you
I'm not a rescue.
which one is cuter a hyena or raccoon cub?
Gonna go with raccoon cub. Lol
