Racoon Needed A Play Buddy, So Family Got Him A Pup | Cuddle Buddies

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Hercules the raccoon and Benny the pup are the sweetest pair of friends despite their differences. When Hercules was rescued, he had to relearn how to walk and could never be released. Lucky his rescuer, Leigh, knew what to do to get him going and got him a friend who could encourage him.

    Big smile here. Saving lives is as rewarding as life gets, whether it's a spider, raccoon, or human. That individual life means as much to the spider, raccoon, or human, as your own does to you. Go on, brothers and sisters, be life-savers.

    Hercules is a wonderful baby. He wouldn't survive in the wild. Many healthy animals don't survive there. Raccoons love people. I speak from experience and many of them do NOT live in the WILD, per se. Many of them are city fauna and are not well provided for. This little guy is living in raccoon heaven.

    I had a cat called Nössö (like wussy, but cuter), she wasnt afraid of anything and liked to go for walks. Exceptionally smart cat, only vacuum was too much. Now we have Onni (happiness, bliss, also Finnish male name), he is orange boi, so the name is very fitting for him, less for us. He knows what the word no means, he just doesnt care and he is unbelievably stubborn. My friend had a dog called Löysä (loose, lax), he was the epitome of high-strung. Medium sized dog who needed to be carried, when wind made leaves flutter around. Oh, and childhood friend had pet snail called Gigantor.

    God bless you for saving Hercules. "I didn't expect a dog and a raccoon to get along" I mean, they're both very social creatures, I'm sure it'd work out to some degree with the proper pup and a raccoon that had been... I don't know what you'd call it, 'socialized?' With species other than raccoons.

    When I was a kid, we rehabbed a baby raccoon. We got him before his eyes opened. He and the dog were total partners in crime. Raccoon was the mastermind, he had to pay off the dog in treats to keep the dog quiet. No exaggeration. Raccoon returned to the wild at maturity. Dog shed her raccoon pounds.

    It’s funny, cause everyone says raccoons are so “cat-like”, but they’re actually closer to the wolf and dog (canid) side of the Carnivora order… along with sea lions, seals, walrus, bears, red pandas, all the Mustelidae (otters, weasels, badgers, etc), all their fellow Procyonids (kinkajous, coatis, ringtails), plus all the canines :-) so this pairing does make some sense actually.

    Raccoons can be somewhat trained to use a litter box, similar to cats, but fully house-training them like dogs can be challenging. They are naturally wild animals with strong instincts and behaviors, so it's important to provide them with appropriate enrichment and space if kept indoors. Additionally, raccoons may become destructive as they explore their surroundings. It's crucial to research and understand their needs before considering keeping one ❤️🦝

    A. There are vaccinations for rabies just like for dogs. Animals don’t get rabies from hanging out in a living room. B. There is a more dangerous problem with raccoons-that is raccoon round worms. Two wildlife workers/vets die each year from them. They cause that wobbling as well as the brain disorder. But she did say he had vet care which meant he had his shots. My mother had raccoons that people found orphaned or decided they weren’t the pet they saw in the movies.
