Many of them leave at the age of 5-6 months but some may stay with the mother through the first winter and leave when nearly a year old.

How long will a raccoon and her kits stay under your deck?

The mother raccoon will raise her babies alone since the male raccoons are aggressive toward their young . Baby raccoons can not walk until they reach eight weeks of age and they are entirely dependent on their mother for food . Once the young become mobile they will then begin to explore at night alongside their mother . They are weaned at 16 weeks and generally find their own dens the following spring around age one . Raccoon kits stay with their mothers for up to a year, during which time they are taught different survival skills .
