That's neat, just remember he's a wild animal. Contact your zoo if he gets out of hand.

Pretty cool animals

Thing looks like its half rat, half dog

Wouldnt be too much in a rush for it to start eating solid food though.
From what I understand. they can be pretty smart at figuring things out.
Like how to get into the kitchen cabinets and such

Post by: lasersailor184 on June 18, 2007, 05:23:30 PM: Golly-geenit. There's a raccoon that lives under my deck. The thing is very crafty, and can be very nasty. But for some reason, my father and sister coddle the thing. They let it get near to them, give it food, everything.

He saw how nasty it could get and was coming to the conclusion that it might be time to get rid of it. Like the one time we were out on the deck and he let it come up and feed from the cat's dish. It went to get down from the table (it was about 1-3 feet away from either of us) and got it's toe stuck in the open grated chair. It immediately pissed all over itself, snarled, growled, and yelled, all the while flailing around trying to do as much harm to it's attacker as possible. I could clearly see this scared my father into some sense.

But now my sister has a picture of it with it's babies, and it's a whole different ball game. Now it's OK to let it live and teach the baby raccoons to steal from us.

What the ****.

Post by: bustr on June 18, 2007, 06:55:56 PM: Forrest,

I live in downtown Oakland CA next to lake Merrit. The first 3 years I lived here raccoons destroyed my water garden, my vegetable garden and shat all over the place to declare my yard their territory. It's against the law for me to do anything and animal control is usless. But then I place screened gazebos over my water gardens, made my cats indoor only to save vet bills and now trap raccoons myself.

My neighbors being tree huggers were unable to understand my midnight rounds of raccoon golf with an ax handle. A very viserally cathartic game with a satisfying teeoff you have to experience.:aok The little buggers kept dying in the tree huggers yard and freaking them out hehehehehehe.......:D

I have a new and nastier raccoon this year. It tears apart my water pump recycling bird bath. It destroys the pumps. This is getting expensive. I pray for it to bite completley through the power cord but you know how heavy duty an outdoor cord has to be? But I do have a live trap I use year round. I take these dog rats from hades up into the hills and let them go in a wood lot behind the very expensive upscale homes of high priced tree huggers.........:t

Now we all know mammels need company of their own kind. And you being well meaning and all with raising your dog rat and such, hows about this idea? I will trap my dog rat from hades and ship him to you as a freind for your dog rat............:cool:

If you seriously want to keep it as a pet, bring it to a Vet... and any reputable Vet will tell you to not keep it as a pet.

You're asking for some serious trouble. :eek:

Maybe if he gets to mean. Hes kinda Bi-polar or something. He goes from cute and cuddily to "attack mode".

In attack mode he'll raise his butt and look at u all funny, and bite the nearest thing and try to eat it. He'll aslo run around all funny and stuff. Ill try to record it and put it on utube or something.

Post by: Birddogg on June 23, 2007, 01:46:18 PM: Just a note...
Once you raise a racoon as pet, they CANNOT go back living in the wild. They get disoriented and starve to death. Same thing happens when you take a wild racoon and move it to another town or forest. They are only used to surviving in the turf they grew up in.

Good luck with your racoon.
