Let's wake up Smokey the sleepy raccoon
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Don't try this at home. We are semi-trained raccoon cuddling professionals. Also our raccoon is cuter than yours.
Background:
Smokey's mother broke into our roof and had a litter of two kits in June of 2011. We were planning to just wait for them to leave (which will happen once the kits are old enough) but the mother raccoon got in a fight with our neighbour's cat (required many stitches) so we decided to evict her. I removed a wall panel to gain access to a crawl space and pull out the two kits while the mother watched and growled disapprovingly from a short distance away (crawling into a confined dark space with an angry mother coon is definitely one of the scarier things I've done in my life).
We placed the kits outside near where the mother was entering our roof hoping she would take them somewhere else but she didn't. Therefore we decided to raise them. I had pet raccoons when I was a kid so this was not new to me. A couple weeks later one of the two kits became sick and died suddenly but Smokey was fine. We kept him indoors for a few months, then transitioned him to being an "outdoor coon". We live on a small hobby farm with lots of good coon habitat. Gradually we saw less and less of Smokey as he became independent. The last time we saw him was probably around 2014. The life expectancy of a raccoon in the "wild" is not very long so it's unlikely he's still around, but our hearts are hopeful every time we see a raccoon that resembles him.

Hes like why are you waking me up, only been sleeping 23 hours lol
The little handsies are so cute!
The only thing sweeter than this raccoon is this woman's beautifully gentle and soothing voice. Lucky man on both accounts!
I want to cuddle him! He's so cute!
I think racoons are just precious. I feed them every day. thanks
I like how the raccoon sticks out its tounge when it yawns.
He is so adorable and cute,🐼 You guys are so lucky to have him I really wish I could have one. Thanks for caring and loving him😘
long time since I've seen such incredible raccoon. very beautiful and cute

Sleepy head. My BB is always a sweetheart when she gets woke up....usuay
This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen!
He is so beautiful and sweet! 🦝💕💕✨
I love how he yawns. ❤
The raccoon is the cutest animal on the planet! The panda isn't far behind. Not sure about rocky as a pet, but I'd love to hang with someone else's.
Oh my heart 🥰
Adorable! :-)
😆😍😍😍😍😍😍🦝🐾💫❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Precious!
what a sweetheart
Oh my lord he is sooo precious. Love that you shared this to show people that not ALL raccoons are naturally vicious when raised in such a nurturing environment. God Bless y’all!
He is so sweet.
I’d love to have a pet raccoon. Are they safe to have at home? I’d imagine they’d be destructive, but they’re so damn cute!

Mine wasn't destructive but then again he had full reign of our big house in the country with a huge veggie garden, and the outdoors ., that probably made a difference .

If you get them when theyre babies you'll be fine, just make sure you have them socialize with alot of people or they'll become aggressive. And yes, they love destroying furniture.
Just in case, I would check his ears for ear mites. Ok .and a few drops of ear meds will take care of that for now at least. Couldn't hurt anyhow. What say u.
Coffee !!!! Lol,,, 😁✌💕💕💕
Such a handsome boy!
Raccoons are so nice. Love this video.
Beautiful creatures😊
Omg es tán lindo tiene mucho sueño,papi déjalo dormir mas.
My baby I raised but wouldn't stay inside because she was an explorer was killed by a car. I miss her..she has a pay room in my garage. They love toys like cats, dogs, and kids. I had her from approx 2 months old to 8 or 9 months. I miss her so much. She was my best friend! Built her a tree house and a garage rafter house for winter warmth and my hallway to back door had a heater and a sleeping area. Wish she was still here. It's been almost 2 months and my heart still hurts. Never thought i would be a racoon mom. Tighter her to catch worms and bugs ....I miss my Peanutbutter cup. Her favorite food was peanuts .I bottle fed her kitten formula. I wish she would bot gave neen killed or that she would have stayed inside . But outside made herv

wierd looking at them as pets. Farmers where I grew up used to pay us a bounty for them possums and muskrats
So cute
What do you feed him and is he litterbox trained or do you take him outside to do his business like a dog? He's adorable.
nice kid!

I know it's long time ago. I hope he still with you guys.
Little hands ❤🦝❤️
Can't decide whether to get a cat or a dog? grab a raccoon, not too big, not too small, pretty much a mini panda
