Do raccoon hibernate?

Raccoons don't hibernate.Do raccoon hibernate?
Raccoons do not hibernate. They go through a period of decreased activity in the winter, which is referred to as torpor, but it is not technically hibernation. Raccoons do not exhibit the marked physiological changes 鈥?reduced temperature, reduced rate of respiration and heart beat, insensibility to pain 鈥?that characterize true hibernation.Do raccoon hibernate?
yes, they hibernate just like bears do.

  • What smell can repel raccoons?

    What smell can repel raccoons?What smell can repel raccoons?
    I once threw moth balls at a group of racoons in our back yard and they left. Not sure if it was because of the smell or because they were afraid of me hitting them with little white smelly pellets, but it worked.





    However, I have also heard about urine from predators, such as a fox, wolf, or bear. But kind of hard to go ask a bear to pee in a cup...What smell can repel raccoons?
    Hot sauce.
    Dead things. Raccoons would often get into my grandfather's sweet corn patch and the only repellent that worked as far as smell goes is using the bodies of coons he had trapped as deterrents.





    As a non-violent, no-kill method, he also would put a radio out in the field. It didn't have to be on very loud, but it did the trick, at least for awhile til they got used to it.
    Moth balls work GREAT!!!!
    50/50 dilution of chlorox and water...poured on the ground around structures that you don't want them on. We had them climbing up the poles that support our deck, so that they could get to the suet feeders...and it worked like charm. note* of course...don't apply it on anything that a bleach application could harm... :-)
    Ammonia





    I used a pressure sprayer filled with ammonia to clear them out from under my house and then I sealed up the entry place.
    My great grandmother always said that she would heavily sprinkle powdered red pepper or cayunne pepper around the edge of her garden a few times during the growing season.
    The sweet smell of freshly spent shotgun shell casings.
    Do you really want a foul odor around your house? The only one I can think of is skunk.





    Best bet is to get a couple good dogs.

    Tanning raccoon hides?? or raw hide?????

    im assuming you want a hair on hide? flesh it then salt it,go to vandykes.com and get a tanning kitTanning raccoon hides?? or raw hide?????
    he first and most important step in tanning your raccoon hide is to remove the fat, membranous tissue and any remaining flesh from the skin. This is done by laying the hide on some type of raised surface such as a sawhorse and scraping the flesh side with a long bladed knife. It is important that your knife be sharp and that every last bit of tissue is removed from the skin. If any tissue is left on the hide, it will not tan in those areas. If you plan to tan the hide with the hair on, skip steps 2%26amp;3 and proceed with step 4. If you plan to remove the hair and tan the hide into a ';buckskin';, go to step 2.


    Step 2


    To remove the hair from the hide and make a buckskin, do the following:


    In a large plastic garbage can mix: 1 gallon of hardwood ashes


    2 pounds of household (slaked) lime


    5 gallons of warm water


    Stir the above mixture until it is dissolved. Completely immerse the coon skin in the mixture. Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times a day until the hair comes off easily. This will take 2 to 3 days. If the hide is left in the mixture too long, it will begin to deteriorate. After you remove the hide,


    proceed to step 3.


    Step 3


    Rinse the hide with water. Place the hide on a raised surface with the hair side up. Use the back of a knife blade to scrape off the hair. Rinse the dehaired skin several times with clean water. Soak the hide for 24 hours in the garbage can in a mixture of 10 gallons water and 2 quarts vinegar. Stir this mixture with the hide in it every few hours. At the end of this 24 hour period, empty the garbage can and fill it with clean water. Soak the hide in the clean water overnight. Go to step 4


    Step 4


    In a small plastic bucket, dissolve 1 pound of alum in one gallon of warm water. In the garbage can, dissolve 2 1/2 pounds of salt in 4 gallons of water. Pour the solution from the small bucket into the garbage can and mix thoroughly. Immerse the skin and soak for 6 to 8 days. Stir the mixture 2 times each day to make sure that all parts of the hide are exposed to the mixture. After the soaking period, remove the skin and drain it thoroughly. Rinse the skin with running water for approximately 15 minutes. Go to step 5


    Step 5


    Tack the wet hide to a flat surface such as a sheet of plywood. If you have opted to leave the hair on the hide, tack the skin on the surface with the flesh side facing out. Keep the skin out of the sun but allow it to partially dry. When the skin is almost dry, rub it with a light coating of warm neat's-foot oil. Remove it from the board and repeat the process on the other side. Remove excess oil from the hide with an absorbant cloth. Proceed to step 6


    Step 6


    Dampen the skin with a moist cloth. DO NOT get the hide too wet! Rub the skin over a dull edge such as a saw horse until it is supple and soft like a chamois cloth. As the softening progresses SPARINGLY apply some warm neat's-foot oil to the hide. If you are working with a hide with the hair still on, only work on the flesh side. Proceed to step 7


    Step 7


    After the hide has been softened, rub some fine grit sandpaper over every square inch of exposed skin to smooth the surface. Only do the flesh side of hides with the hair still on. When the hide takes on a smooth appearance, it is ready to be used as a rug, wall hanging, or sewn into some other type of useful item.

    Dead raccoon.. Afraid I might be infected.?

    It was squished in half, I pulled over and got out and picked him up and laid him in the woods. I'm afraid that I might have caught something from him. My hands have terrible terrible red itchy bumps on them, When I woke up today I felt as if i was going to puke. I get alot of vertigo when walking and also my face is very pale. What could it be?





    I'm too poor to go to the doctors, even though obama said he was going to fix healthcare.Dead raccoon.. Afraid I might be infected.?
    I would be mildly concerned about the red bumps on your hands. If they don't clear up in a day or two, I would advise finding a clinic where you can go see a nurse (much more affordable and some clinics are free!).





    Your other symptoms sound more psychological. I think you may be upset over the raccoon and stressing yourself out over it. And stress leads to feelings like nausea and vertigo.





    Take deep breaths and try to be calm.Dead raccoon.. Afraid I might be infected.?
    It sounds like you have caught something.





    You Americans with your crazy healthcare system! I'm really sorry for you; it sounds like an awful situation to be in. Please, please, please try to go to doctor, do whatever you can even if you can't afford it - it's your health we're talking about - there's nothing more important. Pay later. I wouldn't blame obama either - he's only been in the job a few months and the system has been screwed for a long, long time. I doubt if anyone can 'fix it' in one or two terms, but it can for sure be improved.
    Why in the world would you go pick up a dead raccoon with your bare hands? Common sense says not to do that! lol


    You should have called the city. They remove road kill. It isn't your job.


    Obama just got into office, give the poor guy a chance to make some changes! Bush left him a HUGE mess to clean up!





    Go to the ER if you can't afford the doctor's fee at the time of your visit. The ER doesn't require a payment up front. Make payments on it later.
    Go to the doctor anyway. You could have any number of diseases.
    Maybe you got rabies or something. Are there any free clinics in your area?

    Raccoon question???????????

    have to do this 3 page report on raccoons and we have questions one of the questions is that if they kept in captivity but i cant find if there is a zoo that keeps raccoons or if its illegal to keep them either in a zoo or as a pet can some of you guys help me look this question is worth 40 points so i really don't want to screw p.s.ill give 10points for best answerRaccoon question???????????
    Racoons can be found in zoos AND in peoples homes kept as pets. they are only aloud to be kept while they are cubs because eventually when they become adults they will begin to become very vicious like they would in the wild. My friend had a baby raccoon not too long ago but he only got to keep it for so long before it became to vicious to control. they are not supposed to be kept if you have other pets in the house becuase it could attack the other animals if its strong enough.





    not many zoos have them because they can be found in forests or even back yards. but the ones that DO have them usually breed them so they can sell them as pets for pretty high prices.





    hope this helps!!!Raccoon question???????????
    I don't think its illegal if that helps. If it were illegal to have a raccoon, some people wouldn't be able to have previously wild rabbits. Though... I wouldn't want a pet raccoon :( It could have rabies..

    What are animals with a similar-ish diet to raccoons?

    What are animals with a similar-ish diet to raccoons? Foxes, coyotes, skunks, hedgehogs, porcupines...?What are animals with a similar-ish diet to raccoons?
    Almost all wild animals in similar environments eat more or less the same. It's not like they decide where they want to eat day to day. They use their environment to their advantage for locating food, which is why they are so commonly seen in urban settings. There, they have better access to a wider variety of food than if they were living in a rural/wooded environment. A raccoon living in the woods would have a significantly differing diet than one living in a town or suburb.


    Seeing as raccoons are omnivorous with carnivorous tendencies, they tend to eat mostly other living things, primarily grubs and insects. They will also eat small mammals such as mice, rats, and squirrels. Their diet consists of about 35% vegetation.


    Other animals will have similar diets, but with different ratios. For example, coyotes and foxes are more carnivorous, and are better hunters. Skunks are also more carnivorous, but have a more passive way of foraging, being as their eyesight is poor at best. They also have a much better form of defense, so they don't always have to be so alert. As for porcupines, hedgehogs, etc. They are more herbivorous, so they have much lower ratios of meats in their diets.


    All in all, most mammals can have similar diets to raccoons, but it all depends on their environment, and where they live. It also depends on what foods are available, other species sharing the plane, and the climate. Basically, there are too many variables to give a definite answer. It isn't dependent on the animals in question, but their settings.What are animals with a similar-ish diet to raccoons?
    Raccoons are omnivores, which means they'll eat anything. Opossums and bears are good examples of omnivores.





    People aren't animals, but they're omnivores too.
    Cats, any scavengerish animal pretty much, has the same diet as a cat I would say. If they got into your trash can they would eat the same things.
    I would say cats. Raccoons eat our cat food all of the time in our barn. Also they would eat the same thing if they got in the trash. Hope this helps you out!

    Ranma 1/2 question. The raccoon episode?

    I remember once watching an episode from the sixth season box set (which I borrowed from a friend) with a young ghost girl from the secondary shop in Furinkan High's basement. She sings a song about her lost raccoon doll.





    I only know some of the lyrics:





    The young raccoon cried looking at the sky


    Up in Kokuri mountain


    Just take a peek inside


    It can't be denied


    It's here where the crane and turtle meet





    There's something here about a thousand needles circling a burning light.





    The flower's in the hand that holds the chopsticks


    beware there may be a few scary tricks


    I am but a messenger that holds the raccoons tale


    Heed my words you who try to steal my treasure


    For I will haunt you forever and ever





    I'm not sure if all of those lyrics are correct and I really wanna know the lyrics in between about the needle. So if you know the lyrics and can correct them, or if you can fill in anything that's missing, can you tell me please? i would really like to know.Ranma 1/2 question. The raccoon episode?
    The subtitles say:





    The Badger of Mt. Kokkuri


    Looked to the sky and wept


    Place where Crane and Turtle meet


    go look there if you please


    One thousand needles


    on dark night path


    Pick a flower with the


    chopsticks-hand


    ';Big'; character of gladness and shame


    Slipping and falling


    Ah, poor me


    Out from the cave


    Ah, hateful


    Toranu Kogane


    Ah, hateful





    The audio is:





    The young raccoon cried


    looking at the sky


    up on Kokkuri mountain


    so take a peek inside


    it can't be denied


    it's here where the Crane and Turtle meet


    on a lonely street on a dark lonely night


    a thousand needles circling a burning light


    a flower's in the hand that holds the chopsticks


    beware there may be a few scary tricks


    I am but a messenger who brings the tragic tale


    heed my words you who may try to steal my treasure


    for I'll haunt you for ever and ever





    The subtitles are probably the more accurate translation. (For example, when Tatewaki Kuno gets flattened by the boulder, he is lying in the shape of the kanji character for ';big'; and that line of the song is mentioned.) I also found (link in 'sources') an even more literal transation of what seems to be approximately the same song.Ranma 1/2 question. The raccoon episode?
    OK heres how the song goes i know because i have the episode:


    On a lonely street on a dark lonely night


    a thousand needles circling a burning light


    a flowers in the hand that holds the chopsticks beware there maybe a few scary tricks i am but a messenger who brings the tragic tale heed my words you who try to steal my treasure for i will haunt you for ever and ever.


    The young raccoon cries looking at the sky up in Kokuri mountain so take a peak in side it can't be denied


    it's here where the Crane and turtle meet.


    that's the whole song hope this helps!!!

    Raccoon fur????? plzzz answer?

    im a little paranoid... my skateboard touched raccoon fur, and i accidentally licked my board... can i get rabies?Raccoon fur????? plzzz answer?
    Was the raccoon deceased? Is it a fur in your grandmother's attic or something? Was it roadkill or something. I can not believe that you would skate up to any wild animal, so let's just hope that is not the case. If the critter is deceased, then there is no likely hood of you catching much from it.


    And how do you ';accidentally'; lick a skateboard anyway?





    You must come in contact with saliva and brain/nervous tissue to be considered as potentially exposed to an infectious medium.


    The likely hood of you getting rabies from this contact is minimal if the animal was even alive. Go here:


    http://www.cdc.gov/RABIES/exposure/types鈥?/a>Raccoon fur????? plzzz answer?
    How the heck do you accidentally lick a skateboard?





    Never mind. Rabies is carried in the saliva of the animal, not the fur. If you happen to experience pain, tingling, and or itching traveling out from your tongue start thinking about going to the doctor.





    And stop licking your skateboard.
    your mom will know. dude, I get terribly paranoid, too. if you are paranoid, ask your doctor. bacteria only survives for 17 hours. and how did you lick your board? xD that is a trick! hehe. anyways, you know that these answers will not really help you. the best thing to do is ask your mom, and visit your doctor if you are still worrying about it.
    It would be extremely unlikely. The virus survives only for a few seconds outside of a body (answer in second source). It takes a bite or scratch to get it. It is only from a scratch if the animal has just licked its paw.
    well if the racoon had rabies... ask your mom, if not, then no, because that does not create the rabies virus. its the right time to be a little paranoid

  • Raccoon Food?

    What do raccoons eat? I need to know for a summer project!





    Thanks so much!!Raccoon Food?
    Most raccoons will eat anything they can get, they are opportunistic scavengers/predators. From my experience they will eat toads/frogs, baby birds and their eggs, insects of any kind except ants, rodents, fish washed up on shore, berries, corn and nuts in the wild. When rehabilitated in our facility we feed them dog food, cat food, meal worms, dead mice/rats/quail, berries and apples.Raccoon Food?
    Racoons are omnivores, although they are in the same group of mammals as lions and wolves. All carnivores are capable of digesting vegetable material, especially fruit. Racoons eat anything available, but unlike bears, I don't think they can digest grass. They will eat fruits, vegetables and meat they scavenge or manage to kill themselves. Racoons are very opportunistic scavengers, which helps to explain why they can live so close to humans. They are fond of getting into garbage cans and like bears, appear to be most attracted to sweet items containing a lot of sugar. Basically Racoons eat anything people can eat.
    Have fun on your summer project, but wash your hands well if you are around raccoon feces. They contain the eggs of the raccoon roundworm Baylissascaris procyonis. While the raccoon roundworm cannot complete its life cycle in the human, larval forms can migrate through the human intestine into the blood stream and thence into the eye or brain, causing blindness or encephalitis and death.
    Raccoons will eat tuna fish or any other fish you leave outside for them. They will also kill rabbits and birds if they have the chance.
    I live in a rural area of NY and I had an aged raccoon that used to visit me every night. This guy would come up to my front window and peer in at me every night. I would leave him a can of tuna every night which he ate every night. He would visit me every night looking for the food as, obviously it was an easy meal. It was funny how he showed up every night at about the same time and looked in the window at me.





    Sadly, he passed away in my front yard about a month after our first meeting.





    Raccoons will eat just about anything. They like meat, berries, nuts, seeds, and can be scavengers. Raccoons are also quite intelligent. I miss my little friend!!!!!!
    They are omnivores and will eat anything, and I mean anything: fish, frogs, insects, crayfish, carcasses, turtles, eggs, berries, nuts, fruit, birds, mice, voles, rats, shrews, squirrels, mink and garbage, just to name some of its food.

    My neighbor killed a raccoon...?

    Some time ago I also killed one by running over it, but it was an accident. This guy just took a metal bar and beat the thing to death.





    He claims raccoons are filthy animals that must be exterminated.





    I was considering to report this incident, but the man said that if you can legally kill a person for entering your property uninvited, then forget about an animal. I guess he has a point there so I'm not sure.





    Opinions?My neighbor killed a raccoon...?
    Contact your local animal shelter report the incident and let them handle it. There is a line where extermination is no longer humane and using a pipe to beat an animal to death crosses that line.My neighbor killed a raccoon...?
    I think you're both correct. The guy has a right to exterminate vermin that enters his property, however to bludgeon it to death is quite cruel. They make traps, pellet guns and such for that type of situation.
    I don't know if your story is true, or if your looking for reactions.





    But in my opinion there are certainly more humane ways to be rid of creatures if they are causing a nuisance.





    If he had any decency, he'd have found a better solution.
    There are different laws in different states concerning this. Some animals you cannot kill and must call animal control to relocate them.
    It depends upon the laws/statutes in your area.





    Raccoons can be very destructive and can many times carry rabies.





    We don't know his side of the story so it is unfair to make a judgment call.
    He should not be killing animals for no reason. What kind of idiot savage does that?
    Karma will handle him. He committed murder.
    Vermin. Not like it's a pet.
    We caught a raccoon and took it to a wooded area...poor thing. Thats just sad

    Where to buy cheep raccoon?

    Well technically you can't have a raccoon as a pet, nor can you legally buy one to have as a pet in the US... and there's no such thing as a cheap pet. But for you... get in a trash can, cover yourself with food and food scraps, be very, very, quiet, and wait til after dark. You'll get blessed with a cheap pet, but you may also get sprayed by a skunk, or bit by who knows what.





    Grow up and become a wildlife rehabilitator. You get to work with raccoons (among other critters), and hopefully get them placed back in the wild.Where to buy cheep raccoon?
    this is a different question but since I live on a farm and take care of wild animals i will tell you something. Racoon's are beautiful animals but are not the greatest for pets. This is because they can easily attack and seriously damage you (happened to my brother) and they need a out door cage bigger then a rabbit and ones that have ';lids'; so they can't get out. Raccoons need meat fresh meat so that means you have to go out and kill. You need at least two and can't spend any time together. Get small animals and throw them in the cage so the raccoon gets some hunting skills. And never go in the pen without someone else. Also they need a lot of water and exercises.Where to buy cheep raccoon?
    Raccoons eat other things than meat, they love bananas, gold fish crackers, dog food! but as a raccoon owner, I can tell you that raccoons DO BITE AND SCRATCH. they are very destructive. The coon we have would only eat beneful, and goldfish crackers, dog biscuits. When my son started crawling we moved the coon to a cage at my sister in laws house because we were afraid she would hurt the baby.
    Raccoons aren't cheap to buy nor take care of. So to answer your question...no where.





    But if you're willing to spend the money, there are breeders. There's one in Indiana I know of. Or, you could get a license and become a wildlife rehabilitater. They wont be pets but you can get the same experience and feel great about saving lives!





    Good luck.

    As a pet?


    Not sure... Sorry!





    OOO.... you could find one for FREE in your trash cans!!


    Haha...

    raccoons are not considered pets because they are wild. so dont even buy one.

  • I keep having dreams about being chased by raccoons?

    It started off me being chased by raccoons, but the raccoons were actually Boris Johnson dressed up O.O!


    But they've got worse now.


    The raccoons are coloured like rainbows and set on fire whenever you look at them.


    Also, they run after me screaming Kennedy in really high voices.


    Tbh, it's a little scary, but the fact that it's so weird is worrying me.


    I mean there's weird and then there's downright unusual.





    What does it all mean?I keep having dreams about being chased by raccoons?
    You wished you weren't so camera shy and that you had a picture with mat devine like me =]I keep having dreams about being chased by raccoons?
    Native american interpretation of raccoon in a bad way is, if you are feeling drained, it may be time to receive gratitude of those you have helped in the past. If you have been giving too much and have forgotten to honor your own needs, Raccoon could be telling you to steal some time alone. The little bandit also reminds you to keep watch for ';takers'; who never give back. Keep yourself from feeding others who are too needy or too greedy. Don't waste generosity on those who refuse to help themselves. I'm not sure what everything else means, but usually when you get what the dream is trying to tell you, you will stop having it. Good luck!
    Buy a dog
    Fall out Boy-


    Your description intrigues me. There is no direct interpretation for ';Multicoloured Raccoons'; but I will do my best to foster an explanation for your vision.


    In virtually all forms of human art and folklore, a raccoon has been associated with theft or trickery. The human brain is an elusive organ and often manifests these cultural associations into direct parallelisms: this may explain how you a raccoon might represent these qualities to you.


    As far as the multicoloured and boisterous nature of the animals, usually this can be attributed to a recent theft you have experienced. The brain misinterprets its disappointment as a virtual fallacy: it doesn't make sense to it at first. For this reason it confuses your true feelings by showing you other things that don't make sense. The only way to truly restore order to your disassembled mind is to confront this thief and get back what was once yours.


    In addition to to thievery, Raccoons also represent what the Mayans referred to as ';Havertcha'; which can be loosely translated to ';things hiding in plain sight';. This thief is most likely somone very close to you; someone who has a ';mask'; disguising thier true guilt. Be wary of your friends and remember that what you have had stolen does not have to be a physical possesion.


    Thankfully, I don't think the specific referencespsychologically Boris Johnson are attributable to other issues. They are simply evidence of your brain's need to manifest its confusion in dreams.


    Find this thief and soon you will see these dreams make sense and your soul will be metaphysically clean.


    It is either this phsycologically anomaly, or a possible case of Rabies which has been known to foster dreams about strange animals. It sounds crazy, but its scientifically true. I'd get your blood checked just in case.

    Whats the best kinda food to feed raccoons tht keep visiting my yard?

    What should I feed them, I think they are cute and I want to show my 4 year old son them up close when they come by againWhats the best kinda food to feed raccoons tht keep visiting my yard?
    Your four year old gimp kid.Whats the best kinda food to feed raccoons tht keep visiting my yard?
    I understand your interest in sharing the wildlife experience with your son, but feeding wild animals is a really bad idea:


    They can be dangerous, to your child and neighborhood pets;


    your neighbors may decide to trap or dispatch them if they disturb them;


    they sometimes carry diseases or fleas and ticks that can infest your yard, and the growing problem of raccoon ringworm has led to blindness in an increasing number of people;


    they are capable of finding food on their own and should not rely on people to feed them. They need to teach their young to forage on their own as well;


    Leaving food out at night can also invite opossum and skunk opportunists.


    The best lesson you can teach your son is to respect wildlife and the wild habitat. Please give this some thought :-)
    In states south of Illinois raccoons carry rabies.





    In Wisconsin they tear the window screens off of the windows if they think food is inside, I really REALLY would not encourage feeding them.





    If you must--put out chicken bones AWAY from the house. Or dry dog food. But the more that come, the more poop you'll have in your yard and the more likelyhood of them starting to do physical damage to the property.
    We humans tend to forget how resourceful and adaptable wildlife really is. Please don't start feeding them.





    I don't encourage anyone to feed wild animals. They may be ';cute';, but wild animals need to maintain their natural fear of humans. If they begin to associate humans (or coming around your home) with a free handout, you are encouraging them to try this bad behavior with other neighbors who may not be as appreciative of their visits as you are.


    You are increasing their chances of being shot, trapped or having an unwanted encounter with a domestic dog. It will not end well.





    And because raccoons are considered one of the top rabies transmitters, a nuisance raccoon that is trapped is required to be euthanized in many states.





    If you train them to start hanging around for a free handout, you are delivering them a death sentence.





    If you do want to start teaching your son about wildlife, start with a walk in your local park (some of ours offer various programs designed for children, including night-time ';flashlight froghunts'; and owl walks). Teach him to appreciate wildlife without interfering with it, and you'll do your son a much bigger service than just showing him the ';cute'; animals.
    They sure love dog food. Pretty please with sugar on top, let there be a pane of glass between your son and the raccoons when he sees them. Those animals can be some of the nastiest creatures around. My husband has physically fought them off when trying to keep them away from our chickens, and I've seen a dog or two torn to shreds by raccoons. They may look cute, but they are crazy when they want to be.

    I don't know what's wrong w/ my Raccoon!?

    I found him last night after someone ran over his mother. I fed him some wet cat food so he could get rehidryated and get some food in his stomach. Now he's got a little bit of diarrhea. What should I do. There is no vet for a couple hours where I live or rangers. HELP!! What should I do to stop his diarrhea?I don't know what's wrong w/ my Raccoon!?
    They will have that i bottle feed 2 they do have some diarrhea because of the change of diet.I don't know what's wrong w/ my Raccoon!?
    Find out who your nearest animal rehabilitator is. They are people who take in injured wild animals and take care of them until they can go back into the wild. Wild animals do not make good pets. Raccoons tend to be very friendly until they reach adulthood and then they get very aggressive and dangerous. So my advice would be to find someone who can better tend to this little fella.





    Also, he might have diarrhea because of the wet cat food. His tummy isn't used to it. Make sure he has plenty of water and maybe try feeding him some dry dog food...

    Which is easier to tenderize on hot pavement: raccoon, opossum or deer?

    Ahhhh, you must be leafing through my latest cook book ';Road Kill Made Delicious';. If that is the case then you all ready know that it depends on the age and sex of the animal and how fresh it is. My personal preference? Opossum, because they are smaller and easier to handle.Which is easier to tenderize on hot pavement: raccoon, opossum or deer?
    My guess is raccoon - they are just the right plumpness and I think would be easy to beat the sh*t out of and ';tenderized';. Good luck with that.Which is easier to tenderize on hot pavement: raccoon, opossum or deer?

    check on webmd
    I doubt rabies is a real threat if the coon didn't bite you and break the skin but I'd pay close attention to the scratch and make sure it's cleaned up by a doc just to make sure.
    I would suggest going into the ER and getting checked out by a doctor... Tetanus isn't the only vaccine I'd be considering (mind you a tetanus shot is usually given for lacerations on ';dirty'; things... even cleans ones, each doctor uses them their own way). BUT There is a rabies vaccine. I know in our ER nurses have to be certified or trained to give them... don't know how it works where you are. But I would be worried, and have it checked out.
    you should see a doctor!!! %26amp; get someone out to catch that racoon in case it might have rabies.

    I've had raccoons twice as pets! They are ADOREABLE and funny to watch! They have to wash everything they eat in their water, so we found ourselves CONSTANTLY changing the water. Yes, you can train them much like you would a dog. PLUS, they need to be handled a LOT to overcome their fear and shyness of people. Good luck if you have one! You will LOVE it. Also, we had a dog at the time too, and they became good friends.Anyone have a raccoon as a pet? is it hard to teach them any tricks?

    depends on the mom and dad, if they did, the probably do. I would just stay away from though. Most of them do. It doesn't have to break the skin, it can enter other ways. Like a previous cut or something. But if no cuts, i think it has to break the skin. Which 80% of the time... it does :D yay

    what did you do,find some abandoned babies,they are pesky little rascals,they should not have rabies, unless you bottled fed them they will be a little aggressive for several days,an take heed male raccoons starting at age 2 will get very ill once a year through the heat cycle,they also come in heat like the female for a couple of months the first of the year jan-febDo baby raccoon's care rabies?
    would think so
    yes, baby raccoons can carry rabies. I don't think a bite that didn't break the skin is an issue....but to be safe, I would try putting some alcohol on the spot that got bit....if there is NO STING, you should be fine. If there is any sting at all....the skin broke and I would go to the Dr.
    depends on the mom and dad, if they did, the probably do. I would just stay away from though. Most of them do. It doesn't have to break the skin, it can enter other ways. Like a previous cut or something. But if no cuts, i think it has to break the skin. Which 80% of the time... it does :D yay
    if mommas got it...then so do the babies.....
    they may but u sould go to the er to have it checked out, u might

    Help! my mom was scrached by a raccoon!!!?

    There has been a raccoon in my back yard for a wile now and my mom was sitting up stairs and he came up to her sweetly and stud up on his leg ans acsedentally scrached her, she has an open cut, what shuld i put on it, are there any nautral remedies, shuld she get a shot anything i can do emeadatly??????Help! my mom was scrached by a raccoon!!!?
    wash it under water for a few mins and then apply some antiseptic cream and then put a bandaid on it (if its small enough) or a bandage. apply pressure to stop the bleeding. she should go 2 the doctors to get a tetanus shot and have it cleaned properlyHelp! my mom was scrached by a raccoon!!!?
    I would clean the cut off, and if it was bleeding, try to stop that. Then, put a nonstick bandage over it (depending howbig the wound is) and go to the doctors to get a rabies shot just to be safe.
    Wash it out and apply a bandage with some pressure to stop the bleeding.





    You might want to go to the doctors in the event that the racoon is a carrier of rabies to get a shot.
    She could be infected, go to your doctor

    Can Raccoons get stuck in thorny palm trees?

    I saw two baby raccoons tonight up top a huge palm tree, this palm tree has never been trimmed so it has thick dead thorny branches from the base all the way to the top where the new branches are groing. Does any one know about how well raccoons are at climbing and if so can they make it back down? I dont want to call the fire department! ThanksCan Raccoons get stuck in thorny palm trees?
    Those guys will be fine. They can get up or down just about anything.

    Help! We caught 2 little baby raccoons in our garage and don't know what to do with them.?

    I'm guessing they are about 6 weeks old. I would think they are too young to be on their own, but no sign of mom. We have them in a cage and they are eating some cat food. Should we let them go and hope they'll find their mom tonight? Or are they too young to survive on their own (if the mom was killed)?Help! We caught 2 little baby raccoons in our garage and don't know what to do with them.?
    Yes, DO let them go. The mother was likely closeby, as is the case 99% of times someone finds an 'abandoned' young animal.





    You are doing them no good by keeping them as pets.Help! We caught 2 little baby raccoons in our garage and don't know what to do with them.?
    Call a local Animal Rescue (Not Animal Control but one that says wildlife rescue). You can also call your local Humane Society. We take orphaned animals in all the time and get them to where they'll survive on their own with little human contact (because if they get used to humans they won't fear them and both can end up hurt). They will pick them up or you can bring them to them - they will get them to learn to eat and find food on their own and then release them back into an unpopulated by human area.
    i obviously have no idea where you live but most cities or counties at least have a wildlife rescue program. you can contact you local animal control to get the number. they are dedicated to rehabilitating wild animals and letting them go. the mother may not welcome the babies back if she is still alive.....also it is very very unusual for mother raccoons to leave their young outside of the den. makes me think they were moving and the mother may have been hit by a car or some such. try the wildlife rescue. good luck.
    You need to let them go, because mom is probably nearby, and if they are still around in the morning, call fish and game dept. Not the humane society, they deal with domestic animals. I used to work for a humane society.
    Call your local animal control or game and fish people. They will know what to do. Keep a look out for mom as she can get very upset if she sees her babies caged. She should come around close to dark. She may have hidden them there during the day to keep them safe
    I would definitely turn them in to animal control just in case the mother is NOT around. they will be cared for until they are mature enough to live in the wild once again.
    call the humane society
    definitely let them go...they'll be ok and plus they are wild
    PLEASE, do NOT keep them! Raccoons are high risk rabies carriers! Not only do many carry rabies, they can also carry distemper and a parasite that attacks the central nervous system (I don't remember the name of it, sorry). The parasite is incurable, so is rabies. The parasite is passed through their stool, which means you are at risk every time you clean their cage!


    Although they are too cute right now, they won't be in a few months, as they get older. Coons become very agressive. If you get bitten, the ONLY way to test the animal for rabies is to kill it and cut the head off, to test the brain tissue.


    Also, if you raise them, then let them go, they may go up to people for food and such, because they are not afraid. The people they go near may think they are sick, not knowing they were hand raised, and they may kill the coons. This happened to my neighbor, who (stupidly) picked up a baby raccoon that walked right up to him. The baby had to be killed to test it for rabies and it turned out that it was actually fine. If he hadn't touched it, or it hadn't been hand raised by someone, this wouldn't have happened.


    The mother coon is probably around somewhere. They don't tend to stay right with the babies all the time. They go off and hunt alone. Put the cage outside tonight and leave it open. Most likely, the momma will come and take them away. Meanwhile, DON'T touch the coons with your bare hands, or anything they have pooped on or anything they put their mouths on. You can catch rabies if they get their saliva in a cut on you skin too. It doesn't have to be a bite. Please, let them go, where they belong.
    hehehe u should totally eat them!!!! lmao! jk, that wouldn't be nice. i think you should buy a little bottle and feed them cuz my friend had a pet racoon but the only bad thing was when they get bigger and u didn't tame them enough, they can get mean but as long as u work with them, it would be fine. also, they tend to try and run away alot. either keep them or let them go. if u let them go, chances r they will die cuz they're babies without momas...
    If i was you i would keep feeding them till i know there old enough to survive on there on. . .maybe 10 or 12 weeks!


    Good luck

    Badger vs. raccoon in a fight?

    If the two animals were to fight would the badger destroy the raccoon or will the raccoon give the badger a defeat thanksBadger vs. raccoon in a fight?
    LOL random question. The badger would definitley win in a fight because it has very sharp and large claws, used for digging dens, while the racoon only has its teeth.Badger vs. raccoon in a fight?
    A Badger would OWN IT INTO THE NEXT UNIVERSE. Because Badgers are cooler looking than raccoons. And everyone knows looks are everything. Including fighting ability.
    Badger will win.


    Its skin is so tough to bear stings of 100 bees which would kill any other animal.
    They have no reason to fight to the death. It will be a Mexican standoff.

  • FREAKIN smart raccoon?????

    Ok so I have a raccon trap ( HUMANE ) and am trying to catch the raccoon that is getting into our ducks pen and killing our ducks.


    But unfortunatly this raccoon is FREAKIN smart and likes to jam the bait under the trap plate so the door doesn't close when he steps on it.


    What should I do???FREAKIN smart raccoon?????
    maybe they can be freindsFREAKIN smart raccoon?????
    What are you using for bait? Can you rig it so the bait is actually outside the cage but under the cage (so it looks like it's inside to a raccoon) so the animal can't move it? Or rig it so the bait is skewed in the middle of a metal skewer, secure both ends of the skewer to the sides of the cage so the bait can't be moved and Rocky is forced to go in and get it?
    If you have a secure wildlife proof pen...the raccoon should not be able to get into it. Secure your pen and you should no longer have a problem. If you are offering an easy free meal..obvioulsy you are going to have wildlife eating your chickens.
    depends on what kind of bait your using try putting some peanut butter on it.. you might need to get a different trap as well...i donno what else to tell you for the humane way.. good luck with the raccoon
    You need to get ahold of a professional animal trapper, main reason being that raccoons are extremely intelligent, and since your trap is not working.
    get a gun...but like the ones with darts not bullets and shoot the thing and then let him somewhere far away....it wont kill the thing so yeah, its good
    Racoons are pretty smart. So mabe u just have yo use a DIFFERENT type of trap.

    For the Raccoon owners????????

    How do you take care of them (raccoons)?


    What personality traits do you see in yours?


    How do they act?


    Are they effectionate and friendly?


    I don't have one, but I am curious.


    One time there was one outside by our glass door and If I started to sing it would look up at me and put it's paw on the door as if it wanted in. It was soooooooooo cute!For the Raccoon owners????????
    I had found a baby raccoon a couple summers ago. He was all alone, his mother had been hit by a car. So I took him home.





    We named him rascal because he was a little rascal getting into just about everything!





    Rascal was a friendly and very affectionate little boy, he loved to try and go fishing in our fish tank. He was very curious. But once he got older he did become a tad vicious. Because we didnt feed him meat. And thats what they grow up to want.





    I miss him...For the Raccoon owners????????
    Okay, I am not a raccoon owner, but the lady who got best answer for this question, http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a> , IS.

    Most of the time people don't own raccoons because they can be vicious or rabid. They eat trash and i think they don't sell raccoon food in the pet store.

    I Have Raccoon Eyes?

    I have serious dark eye circles around my eyes... im african american male and only 20 years old... Nothing ever seems to work and I would really like to get rid of them...Can anyone help?





    Oh and if possible try not to list any products that I have to go out and buy, Ive wasted alot of money on them already... I Have Raccoon Eyes?
    Remedies For Dark Circles





    * Apply a good Vitamin K cream. Vita-K Solution gel or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue help strengthen capillary walls around the dark circles to make them less visible.





    * One should go for laser treatment only if the case is chronic. Lasers can increase production of collagen thereby thickening skin to make dark circles less visible.





    * Home remedies for dark circles can include the following:


    1. Drink plenty of water to combat dehydration.


    2. Wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent more sun damage.


    3. Get enough sleep.


    4. Leave cold teabags, cucumber or potato slices, or washcloths with ice cubes on eyes for 15 minutes regularly.


    5. Take iron supplements if anemic, but consult your doctor first.


    6. Identify the allergens and avoid them. Whether it be pollen, food, whatever, avoidance is the best solution to this. And avoid rubbing your eyes.

    Baby raccoon won't poop?

    My friend gave us a baby raccoon and she's only 3 weeks old and has to be bottle fed but her belly is getting soooooo big because she hasn't pooped yet. Is there anything that we can do to make her go? because her belly is way too bigBaby raccoon won't poop?
    for most baby mammals, after you feed them you need to gently rub their bottom - they cant go on their own, and in the wild the mother licks them to stimulate them to go.





    you should wet a clean towel or something, or even just use your finger (clean) and gently massage her bottom until she goes - if she doesnt she will die, and you might want to take her to the vest - some damage might have already been done

    If it's still there you definitely should call animal control to get it out. Raccoons can be quite vicious, can carry rabies and many have a potentially deadly roundworm parasite which is shed in their poop. And don't leave your doors open!

    My advice: do NOT wear liquid liner. If you tend to sweat and get oily in those areas, liquid liner will just run and smear. Use a liner pencil. Maybe from Urban Decay: http://www.urbandecay.com/products/Rocks鈥?/a>


    as you can see they have soooo many colors to choose from. I love this eyeliner and I seriously recommend it!

    Any raccoon owners?

    can they be kept as pets? any breeders?Any raccoon owners?
    Raccoons are best left wild, they can get very vicious and could badly hurt you.Any raccoon owners?
    I used to have one. I raised him from birth because his mother got hit by a car, but anyways, it was ok at first. He was real tame and then out of the blue, he started getting mean, he would tear my screens out and cause all kinds of problems. I would say that their not a good pet. I ended up taking mine to the woods and letting him go.
    i have done wildlife resuce for one of our local organizations, and the problem is if anyone reports you the DNR can come and take and destroy your raccoon. People will report you because a lot of people don't like them. Also, they may or may not become aggressive when they reach maturity, but they dolwant to be free...you cannot let them loose in your house, they will destroy it trying to get outside. Even though it's hard, it is better to release them. You can just let them go, look up on internet the best way.
    i have a raccoon and she is amost a year old, and she is really nice, so yes they can be kept as pets, and i have lots of friends who breed them too!l
    Mean mean creature..Not to mention it's illegal there dear, harboring a wild animal, yea, you can get fined for having one
    even the ones born in captivity are wild as hell and if you don't keep them caged they are destructive as all get out and will still bite

    Dead Raccoon?

    Or you could bury it (but if you have dogs they might dig it up).Dead Raccoon?
    Put it on a shovel and throw it in your neighbours yard.LOL.
    Bury it about 3ft down to prevent scavengers from digging it up. Unless you are sure, dig cautiously as underground utilities are everywhere.
    Well... if you are in Arkansas... you skin it, cook it and eat it.





    Most other places... you call animal control (police department) and they will come get it for disposal. (probably ends up in school lunches)
    Bury it if you want it to become useful





    *wink,wink*
    Bury it
    Put on some dish washing gloves (Don't make direct contact) and either bury it or toss it in the woods for some hungry animal. If you bury it make sure you bury it deep or else those same hungry animals will dig up your lawn.

  • How can l stop raccoons doing their poop on my steps?? they are driving me mad?

    Getting rid of any food source is the most important thing in keeping raccoons away. Keep your garbage in your garage or at least in well-secured cans. Bring pet food inside at night. If you have fruit trees they are contraptions that you can buy that will prevent them from climbing them. They also like grubs so if you have grubs in your lawn there are products you can buy to get rid of them. Once you have removed all potential food sources the raccoons will not waste their time coming on your property. If you suspect they are nesting somewhere such as under your porch then making it as unpleasant as possible is usually enough for them to pack up and leave. Throw mothballs and ammonia soaked rags in their suspected nest. Also, place a radio with loud music during the day near the area. One very important thing: be VERY careful when cleaning up raccoon poop. Many carry a potentially deadly roundworm parasite. The eggs are shed in their poop. Wear disposable gloves and wash hands thoroughly after disposing of the poop. These eggs and larvae are resistant to household chemicals such as ammonia or bleach and can survive for years. The only way to kill them is with extreme heat. If the crap was on wood pour lots of boiling water over the area. If it's on cement you can put lighter fluid or some gas on the area and light in on fire.How can l stop raccoons doing their poop on my steps?? they are driving me mad?
    Raccoons are looking for food the poop is a normal byproduct, Don't encourage the coons to come to your door step by leaving food or scraps out,after a while they will stay away.How can l stop raccoons doing their poop on my steps?? they are driving me mad?
    try mothballs my neighborhood was infested with them and one of the neighbors spread moth balls all over and haven't seen one in months one problem though it smells like your grandma's house for awhile
    Try sprinkling red pepper around your steps.
    Try Tabasco sauce, I've heard that the scent alone deters any animals away. And I just happened to hear that on a Discover Channel and believe it or not it was used by our own CIA and Russia's KGB for deterring animals.

    And does anyone know a color that would work with it?





    Thanks. :]Raccoon tail extensions!?
    oh you can buy them already made.

    umm if you dont really want to buy them online, most places that sell body pierceings and plugs and stuff like that should have them there.Raccoon tail extensions!?
    Well it depends on the hair color of the extendtions.


    If the extendtions are dark (black/brown)use a lighter color (blonde/pink/yellow ect.)


    If they are light you do what i just said in the opposite effect.





    The best place for you to get hair dye in my opinion would be sallys beauty supply stores,there arent very many all over,but there happends to be one in LA where i go to get my dye.





    Are the extendtions clip ins?Or are they really in?


    Are the fake or real hair?You have to take thoes questions in concideration when picking a dye.





    Good luck.
    order new ones on ebay and there are many websites that sell pre-made ones that look really good. i wouldn't get regular hair extensions and dye them myself because you risk the chance of messing up. the ones that are already made are seriously perfect so that is the choice i would make.
    You actually don't need to buy extensions if your hair is long enough and it's not that hard to make them.





    But try a local beauty shop.





    and as to the Dye, they have good quality dye at Hot topic.
    Hot Topic is a poser store.
    omg those are not a good look. tottaly like 1500's!!
    why dont you just get the 18 inch clip on extentions??





    they are quite cheap and made of real human hair

    Raccoon on my porch?

    If a raccoon found food on my porch one night- do you think it will keep coming back? I have a dog and I'm scared it will hurt him! Will it come near me if I'm in the yard with my dog?Raccoon on my porch?
    Be sure to not leave any food out that the raccoon can get to...including your garbage can. And yes, it will return if it thinks it can find food. Most raccoons will not hurt a dog or cat but can if it feels threatened. One thing you can do is to put out a live trap and release it to the wild. Other than that, call your local wildlife agent and tell him you have a problem. The raccoon is only looking for food and doesn't mean you or your pets harm. They can get vicious and yes, they can carry rabies. So contact your local authorities if you don't want the animal around.Raccoon on my porch?
    normally, unless they're sick or REALLY hungry, they won't come near you or your dog. if your dog goes after it, it WILL fight. and they are fierce. it will probably keep coming for awhile looking for another easy meal. make sure there's nothing to tempt him back again, and for a few nights, after you bring your dog in, spray a room deodorizer or some other repellent all around your porch.


    MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS UP TO DATE ON RABIES !!!!
    It will if it can find food on your porch. If it feels threatened, it may attack your dog. Keep the dog's food off of the porch. I had this same problem and eventually the raccoon had to be trapped and relocated. It tried coming after me once. Very scary! Good luck!
    omg are u serious?
    i think it might come back cuz it knows ur poorch is a sourcre for food
    if its rabid it well try to take you and your dog down.


    they may be small but they pack a punch. if your worryed call someone to trap it and take it to a wildlife center or something.





    better to be safe then sorry
    The only reason it would come near you is if it is rabid. You shouldn't have a problem with it, as long as it's not hanging around during the daytime. Don't leave food out anymore and he will move on.

    If we take it to animal control or the place people usually take wild animals, what will happen to it? My parents and don't want it euthenized.Raccoon in the Attic?
    First of all, raccoons can be very aggressive. They also can carry rabies and distemper. Do not try to handle it, let the professionals do what's best. Normally if it is a healthy animal, it should be relocated back in the wild. You could call your states Dept. of Fish and Wildlife too. When I worked for Animal Control in my county we relocated them all the time for people who caught them in special humane animal traps.


    When the raccoon is gone, be sure to have your dad find out where it got in and out of the attic and repair it to prevent this from happening again. (Raccoons can cause a lot of structural damage and are quite intelligent). Raccoons in attics is not an uncommon occurrence!


    Please call the right people (Fish and Wildlife or Animal Control) so that the critter will be released back into the wild.

    WEll, option 1, you keep it as your pet.


    2 Give it to animal control. Don't worry, they won't hurt it or anything. If anything they'll take it far away where it can't bother anyone. Tel them your concern about euthanasation, and if they don't want to meet your conditions, release it back somewhere far away.
    You can release it back outside and make sure and block the entrance it used to get access to your attic. Usually US Fish and Wildlife will relocate a wild animal for you if it has become a nuisance.
    take it to some place away from homes and let it go.
    this is what I do for a living now





    Your area may be different but in Central Florida


    Animal control with put it down


    The parks dept if they even take it will put it down





    We have bee instructed by Fish and Game to kill any animal that we capture


    They have no weight of law so most of us ignore the directive





    In order to legally release it you must have the landowners permission and you cannot for any reason release the animal on public land





    It is irresponsible to release the animal any where near other homes


    Once an attic dweller always an attic dweller and he actually she probably, will find another attic to have her babies


    Which brings me to another point


    You ,might want to check to see if she left any in your attic


    Check the teats to see if it is a lactating female





    If so get ready for the stink of dead babies





    There is a school of thought that thinks that re releasing the animal into a strange new area is cruel as the animal will probably slowly die, I disagree but can't back up my position
    I'd let it go, out of the neighborhood, where it can find somewhere else warm.
    The best thing to do is to contact someone at the Parks and Recreation office. They will return the raccoon to the wild. Please be careful as raccoons are carriers of rabies and it can take up to 6 months for it to show up. You can't call animal control as they only handle domestic animals. I went through this when I caught a wild turkey. She had an injured wing and I couldn't find anyone who would take her. The parks and recreation office were willing to take her, if I could get her there, which sadly I couldn't. Hope this helps.

  • Raccoon shrieking -- Mating or fighting?

    When raccoons make that freaky shrieking, cackling sound are they mating or fighting? I assume it's fighting but some animals are rough with each other when they mate, so that's why I'm asking. Raccoon shrieking -- Mating or fighting?
    I know they make that noise when they are fighting over territory or food, I do not know about mating. They also make that noise when I try to run off the babies and the mother is ready to defend them.
