During the mating season, raccoon males restlessly roam their home ranges in search of females within the three- to four-day period when conception is possible. Copulation, which includes foreplay, can last over an hour and is repeated over several nights. Gestation usually lasts up to 63 to 65 days.

Only the female cares for the young. They nurse from her exclusively until they are 6-8 weeks old. At that time they follow the mother when she forages for food and are introduced to solid foods. They continue to nurse to a lesser extent until they are completely weaned by 16 weeks of age. They will remain with the mother until they are 6-12 months old.

They are born in the same way most every mammal is born. After developing in the mother's uterus they are born through the vagina.
