Baby Raccoons


Are these little guys too cute for words or what? A few days ago we got in a turkey vulture that was injured. Whenever we get something in that I've not seen before, I grab my camera and get some pictures. I thought, I'd share the picture of the vulture with you, and I will, at another time. But when I went back there to get it's picture, the baby raccoons were in the cage above. Anyone who has ever rehabbed baby raccoons will tell you, they want your attention and they want it now! So I took their picture too, and that is the picture I'm sharing with you today, even though I have quite a few pictures of baby raccoons.

These guys are too funny. We keep the younger ones in large crates in the back. If you are standing too close, they will try to grab your pant leg. As you walk past them you see all these little arms poking through trying to reach everything and anything. It appears as though they are crowded in a small space, but not to worry, the space is huge, they like to crowd together. God forbid, one should get more attention than another!

The guys in the picture are almost ready to release back to nature. Our mommy jobs will be over.

As for the turkey vulture, I'll show you that one a little later. The post also involves an abandoned water park.

The owl and branch in the scrap page below are from my Owls Rule Clipart/Graphic Set which is available at my Etsy Shop, or by instant download at my Website.

  2. They are cute. We had a momma and babies raiding our trash cans one year. We had to trap and relocate 4 coons in total.

  3. How cute! My boyfriend has always wanted to raise a raccoon! He had one growing up and said they are so fun! But they're also curious and a lot of work! They get into everything :)

  4. Oh my gosh, how adorable are those babies! We once trapped a raccoon by accident trying to catch a feral cat. It sat in the cage hiding its head in its lap. It was so cute. We let it go right away.

  6. So cute! We had an albino raccoon for a long time and she would eat from my hand. And she was always grabbing.

  8. They are so cute! I've always thought it was neat the way raccoons wash their food before they eat it. Do these guys do that?

  9. They are cute and I would much rather see them this way than how I normally spot them. They are usually running out in front of me when I'm driving down the road. I've seen a lot of them lately too
