Racoons live 10-15 years and can be vaccinated against disease.
Racoons are prone to biting,especially if they feel threatened.
If you are considering owning a racoon as a pet remember it would be very hard for the animal to survive in the wild after being domesticated.
I'm assuming you mean good pet? They are expensive to purchase, however they have a fascinating personality. You must child proof your entire house (including upper and lower cabinets). They will get into everything, but they can be litter box trained. They can be very entertaining.

at night unless they have rabies then they come out any time and will attack on sight That is not true, raccoons are mainly active at dusk and dawn, and they can at times be seen during daylight hours, during late morning, early evening.

Are there raccoons in England?
Raccoons are not *native* to England, but they definitely *do* live in the wild there! Brits have been importing them from North America for pets, especially since the 2007 change to the law, which says that that licenses are no longer required. Escaped and abandoned raccoons are now showing up and raiding trash cans, bird nests, and gardens. England is quickly heading the way of Germany - where two raccoons imported in the 1930s have now swelled to close to a million (and the songbird population is suffering. Raccoons do love eggs!)
