Raccoons

A raccoon is pretty much able to forage on its own at 5-6 months of age but will frequently spend the first winter with the mother and go out on its own the following spring when they are 10-12 months old.

Hi! hehehehe that's a funny question.... um i think they can because racoons are pretty strong and mean.... Have you ir anyone else been mean to the raccoon cause it could just be pissed off about that.

Only when cornered or when they feel threatened will they attack a human. Stay clear of them when eating and don't try to feed them by hand, as they could mistake your finger as food. They actually can be very friendly, but they are wild, so getting close is up to them! If you get to close to one & you feel it is going to attack by the noises it makes, act like a bear, stand tall & stomp your feeet while yelling loudly. This will scare them away. If they get close for attention, this may take alot of months to do, but it should be there choice. It is never recommended anyone get close to one more than you have to so becareful!

If you are referring to a captive baby raccoon orphan, at about 6 weeks of age, soften some puppy chow in water, mix it with the KMR formala and run it through a blender. Feed this for a few days in the nursing bottle. Next try mixing the formula with Puppy Chow in a food dish. Poke the mouth of the baby into the mix until it gets the idea. As the baby learns to eat the solid food, gradually decrease the KMR until they are eating just the Puppy Chow. They shoukd be totally off KMR by 16 weeks, They try adding other foods such as grapes or other fruit.

It must live in a den because everything in there is dark and they need everything to be dark because it's the same color as their fur

tacos... spicy food.... people who attack them... rhinos... dinosaurs.... and reality television

See nurses them, keeps them warm and moves the nest every few days to avoid predators. When they are 6-8 weeks old she will allow them to come with her when she forages for food to learn the skills of searching for food.

That depends upon the laws of the particular state.

Yes, a good quality dry dog food can be fed to raccoons. Avoid giving too much cat food as it is higher in protein and has been known to lead to gout, Also, make sure you are also giving them a variety of fruits, nuts and berries and veggies such as sweetcorn.

A ringtail, sometimes called a ringtail cat, is a small member of the raccoon family (Procypnidae) found in the southwestern United States and Mexico

No. Raccoons are placental mammals, not marsupials, so they do not have pouches.

yes

Baby raccoons are born at about 1/8 of a pound each. that is 2 ounces

It is possible, but in order to survive, the raccoon must have an extremely strong nerveous system. So most babies, or elderly coons, would not survive it. There is no known cure for distemper, so even if a raccoon with distemper was captured, the only thing that could be treated, was the symptoms alone.

Food, territory, but not really much else. Cheetahs are solitary and rarely ever see another ane of their kind. Other cheetahs will attack other cheetahs though. Young lone males are an especial threat to young cheetahs who are usually born in litters of 3-5. A mother will care for her young for 1-2 1/2 yrs.

The young, born in the late winter or early spring, will often spend their first winter with the mother before striking out on their own at about a year of age. Once on their own they will generally stay in the same general area as the mother forming loose communities.

I have been told by my veterinarian that it is illegal to have a pet raccoon in PA. I also live in PA and have a baby raccoon that comes around every night to eat. If it is discovered that you have one, the DEC will come, take the animal and kill it to test for rabies. I think this is a stupid law as it is legal to have a pet skunk in PA but not a pet raccoon.

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Vertebrata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Lagomorpha

Family: Leporidae

Genus and Species:

There are several, but the most common are Sylvilagus (cottontail), Lepus

(jackrabbits, hares), and Oryctolagus (European/common domestic).

Of orse!, its a living breathing mammal with fur!

The largest wild raccoon on record weighed 62.6 lb. That is about triple the average weight for a raccoon.

As long as the dog or cat leaves the raccoon alone, then the raccoon shouldn't harm them. If the raccoon feels threatened, if it is cornered or it is injured and the cat or dog is being intimidating, then the raccoon may feel the need to defend itself which could cause harm to the other animal.

Also, if the raccoon is rabid, it may attack another animal which could prove very harmful to the cat or dog as unless rabies is treated promptly and properly, it is fatal.

Raccoons are opportunistic and will take advantage of any existing shelter. They may use an abandoned animals burrow, a hollow tree, a rock crevice, a cave, a culvert, a storm sewer, an abandoned building or even an attic in an occupied house.

Probably nothing. Raccoons try to avoid human contact and will do everything they can to escape without a confrontation. If you attempt to catch or touch the animal, you are asking for trouble as well as a long series of painful rabies shots.

Raccoons here in Canada are not really good especially if there are two of them. They are destroying houses and putting holes under the house which is bad. That's why The Critter Guy here in Canada, Ontario has services in Raccoons.

Raccoons are nocturnal feeders and will eat about anything, including flowers. They will dig in flower beds for worms and insects. They will also dig through garbage for food and are curious animals.
