The Story of Bandy: Our Pet Raccoon

On a spring evening, my mom came home with a baby raccoon. I couldn't believe it! She was sooooooooo cute. My little sister quickly bonded with her new furry friend. I was away for the summer and didn't have the chance to spend much time with this little creature, but every moment was precious. She's very intelligent, super funny and playful. These are videos and shots that we took of her during the 4 months she stayed in our home. ENJOY & SPREAD THE CUTENESS!!!

    ♡We raised 2 orphan cubs when I was young...maybe a few years younger than you. Rocky & Ricky went everywhere with us! The family brought them to pick me up from summer camp, when we went to our cousins for holidays (4 hrs in the car). 40 years later they still hold a dear place in my heart, and I can still mimic their chatter! When they got to large for their pet carrier, we built a pen outside for nighttime. They were missing one morning...we think someone stole them for their pelts. There's no way they could have moved and so carefully placed the 40 lb (20 kg) iron grate blocking the opening.

    Лучшее видео!!! My friends also found a little raccoon in the old tree she was nearly frozen to death, for several months they have been raising her, I also participated in that process when they were on vacation. The same, when Lucky became bigger and started causing a lot of troubles, they gave her to the center from which she is going to be released to the nature. And I was so attached to her personality I wanted to cry. until today I missed her so much 😀.....

    Also had a pet raccoon named Bandi for female bandit. If we had a drink with ice she would put her paws in it and pull the ice cubes out with them being cold she would mash them with her paws they would slide across the floor she would chase it once it melted she would really get frustrated and run over and check our hands and pockets thinking we had taken and hidden them from her and we would be punished with her bites,had opened paint cans had different colors of Raccoon paw prints all over the house. Ate all the other pets we had,fish,alligator,lizards,snakes,mice,birds,rabbits they are really good with their hands and opened all the other cages and terrarium and aquariums, all in one night! They belong in the wild!

    Alyssa I live in Ontario I found this young one in my yard one night. It could hardly walk. So I fed it with a sponge at first then a bottle. Anyway I was walking it down to a stream letting him forage he was doing well. Then the other day I thought hes ready or I was ready for him to go on his own. I released him back. I come home from doing that and little while later I get paid a visit from Wildlife Conservation. They wanted the raccoon . I told them I released him but I dont think they believed me but I did. Anyway I was read the riot act about its against the law to harbour wildlife and the I should have left him alone. Let nature take its coarse, I thought we as Humans were part of Nature but I guess not in the eyes of wildlife.And how the cross contamination from my pets and people that we can all get sick blah blah. But I didnt know you could be charged with a crime for taking care of an wild animal. But they are lots of fun and just as much trouble as you probably know.

    Alyssa = no creature belongs to wild. Good life is a one way street. It is the owners fault to let that little thing go free in the house and destroy things.If he had his own room...and summer times go to backyard....it would have been fine with him ( trust me on that).As long as he gets food, shelter and peace = his 24/7 life circle is completed... In the wild he can get the same thing ( minus stress) except he needs to work for it.

I was saying, to let him go if you want to but as soon as he returns.... take him in for good....( just remember; every creature lives a one way street)...and trust me as soon as peace and food is there they found their life vs. getting it with stress and agony.
