Best Answer

Raccoons begin mating @ 1 yr of age. Mating season is generally Feb - June, depending on location. They produce one litter per year; although in rare cases multiple litters have been known. Litters consist of 3-7 kits (baby raccoons); average is 4. Gestation period is 62-65 days and kits eyes open around 3 weeks. Kits are weaned by 3 months and generaly leave their litter by the fall; although they have been known to stay the first winter. Btw they do love Chocolate Chip Cookies and are fairly tame by and large ;)
