Do raccoons look for food in the winter?
Raccoons spend most of the winter hunkered down in their dens, but they can't rest all the time. Instead, they'll emerge every few weeks to forage for food and drink water. Raccoons are opportunistic foragers, especially in winter. They want food that's easy to find, and lots of it. It's also common that raccoons will find food in areas like your house so if ever that happens, you can call The Critter Guy for immediate help in removing these raccoons.
