They can be so sweet. Many years ago, we heard a scratching at our back door. Opened it to find a young, pregnant female raccoon who had obviously seen some rough times - she was blind in one eye and had several visible scars. We fed her - she was asking for help. And when the babies were born, she brought them to us as well. For about 6 years, we met each new brood. They would come and sleep in the sun on our back deck and made us laugh so often with their wrestling and tumbling about. We missed her so much when she didn't return for a 7th year. We never names any of the younglings, but we always called her our Bebe.

I was extremely lucky to raise 4 baby raccoons when their mother died. It was the most amazing experience of my life. Bottle feedings teaching them to climb trees. Watching videos like this brings back fond memories for me. At one point they knew it was time to leave and explore the world. I grew up in a 500,000 acre ranch. So no local police or nosy neighbors complaining. They were incredibly smart and they LOVED vanilla wafflers. They would dip them in water. And afterwards they would wash their hands in water like humans do. They figured out how to work through locks. They saw how we used our hands and did the locks in the same way. Raccoons are extremely intelligent. If I could raise another set of raccoons, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

This is so fucking dumb. She had a chance to simply not interact with the raccoon and scare it away to teach it that its source of food is no longer from human hands. Now she's taught generations upon generations of raccoons in that area that it's okay to approach humans and see them as safe. That's _not_ good for them and this shouldn't be encouraged. Not only that, you don't let your 1 year old child hand feed them. They are still wild animals and a baby's behavior can startle them for whatever reason. One of them could be in the early stages of rabies or distemper and after the baby hand feeds the raccoon, its saliva is now on the baby's hand, and then the baby puts its hand in its own mouth. It's just so, so irresponsible. People _have_ to stop treating wild animals like pets, and at the very least, stop subjecting their children to the dangers of them.

I love Racoons. Had 1 fall through a hole in my ceiling in the kitchen where I had not put a new vent hood up yet. Heard one night a sound in my kitchen went in there saw a bread pan on the floor that fell off my stove. So reach down to pick it up and it moved so I moved it a little and a paw came out. Pulled it off and picked up a baby racoon. Got a baby bottle out and fed him til he was able to eat solid food. So I let loose out side. Now he comes up every night for food I leave on a table . I see him come up with 3 to 4 more at times. I just watch them through my window. Wish he still came to me but glad I let him go.

"You shouldn't feed wildlife, but it's okay for me, I have special reasons." Here's the truth: It's okay to feed wildlife. Just remember that as you befriend an animal that you also know that you are partially responsible for it too. Just like with pets which require almost 100% human care, a wild animal you befriend will trust you and you have a responsibility for that trust. Notice it's always those people who are actively interacting with wildlife, feeding and petting and so on, who will tell everyone else they shouldn't. It's hypocritical and a form of superiority. It's okay to feed wildlife, just be aware of their needs and the dangers - like getting bitten. If you feel it's wrong to feed or befriend a wild animal, don't do it! But let everyone else make up their own minds.

I've got a wildlife degree and wouldn't advise to feed wild critters, but sometimes circumstances arise that you do. It's not always hypocrisy to tell people not to do something you do. Sometimes, it's experience. I have raised Guinea pigs and horses and told people not to get those animals because they take lots of work, time and money, and a myriad of other reasons. I've advised certain people not to get a cat or a dog for some of the same reasons. It seems only Roxie and her 1 daughter are visiting, not a hoard of raccoons, so the majority are retaining stay away from humans, and no property damage is seemingly being done. So enjoy the video and stop preaching. Sometimes hypocrisy is fun.
