Hey @titotheraccoon people. I had about 12 raccoons that would come to the back of my cabin every night for about 8 months. Then one day they magically stopped coming. I have a house in the woods with closet neighbor about a quarter mile away. They stopped coming after the 1st snow we got. Anyone who knows raccoon behavior know if they moved somewhere for the winter or any other options. My only neighbor said theh didnt set any traps. Thanks in advance

Seeing tito on the sweater made me sad.

I have to hand it to you. You are the top, number one, numero uno raccoon benefactor, care giver, papa that I have ever encountered. Dedication. You have invested more time, resources, and love into Tito and Cheeto's care and well being both emotionally and environmental, as well as dietary and exercise mentally and physically, than anyone that I have ever seen. You provide them a life full of enrichment. You have even surpassed public institutions such as zoo's and that is a difficult hurdle to surmount. Kudo's where kudo's are due and you my friend take the cake. Good luck on your sanctuary.

I think I've told you already that I had a raccoon as a lad in Iowa. He ripped my throat open completely unintentionally. I was wearing a candy necklace. My Dad let it go and I was heartbroken. Every year after, we had new babies in our tree. He never forgot me and I could hear him calling me from the tree at night. I would sleep with my bed pushed up to the window and he would climb onto the porch roof and lick my hand pressed up against the screen. He was totally sorry.

I think I do! I did have a pet too many years ago, and I had to have the same attention and care about his safety when he was free around the house and also a day sleeper one too 😅. He lived for 13 years... Tito seems to have all the love he deserves...

The Return Of The King

I love raccoons. My husband has written the series called "The Totally Ninja Raccoons" but I told him he can't bring one into the house.

As much as i adore raccoons with my whole heart, i know that owning a raccoon would probably be impossible for me. I'm still happy that some pet raccoons are lucky to have good and careful owners like you who gives them all the attention and love they need. For me, i'll stick with the cute raccoon plushies (and my cat)!

I miss Tito!!!😭😭😭

I always recommend your channel to those wanting one and warn them they're difficult. PA they are legal but require a license. I can't wait to have one when I have my own place. I already had one wild one take to me so well she is tame for me.

My raccoon is 4 months old and has broke to TVs so if your not in a good stable financial situation you shouldn’t get one

😂I know this isn’t relevant but i remember when j was in year 5 we were talking about some kind of alarm when something happened like an intruder in the playground. And then a boy asked, what if a racoon broke into the school🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my teacher and everyone else laughed

If I was a raccoon parent l would love them

Very cute indeed. I wanted to tell you guys about this. We have a mom raccoon and 3 babies that come by almost every night that my wife will leave “little treats “ outside for. Then there’s this other one that is mostly black. In fact, his tail is solid black with no stripes and you can barely make out a “mask” over his eyes. His body has some gray in it but very little. My wife says he looks like a little black bear from the back. Yeah, like REALLY little! 😂 I’ve never seen anything like him, have you?

I have my hands full with my Cockatiel...lol she desires constant attention.

good story!

I've ben wanting a Racoon for about 8 years. I used to feed them by my hand .

I’ve had Riley for 3 years but she’s gonna be a 2 year old her whole life! I do let her have free roam of the house even when I’m not home but it took A lot of time and training. I’m nocturnal so that helps!

I think it will be a challenge but I think I could be a raccoon parent, as long as doesn’t try to kill me in my sleep like a cat

Any tips on gaining a Raccoon's trust? We have one that eats at our house every night.

Can you make a video on how you raccoon-safe your house? ✌🏻🙂

would a squirt bottle be a good deterrent as a training method?

Wow, a party of pothos behind you! Are your plants generally safe from your raccoons?

Pretty much everything you said might be right but my little girl just passed away Dec 14 after 7 yrs none of those characteristics describe her, she didn't tear things up, she was never aggressive, didn't leave my side, she listened when I would say get down or no, she only went on her puppy pads, all in all I always treated her like a kid and she behaved like one so maybe it was the time dedicated to her or maybe she was just unique which makes the loss more painful. What state are you in that you are allowed to keep yours? What permits did you have to get? Make a video on that because for me the hardest thing was having to always have that looming that she could be confiscated and killed yet I see lots of videos on KZread but no one ever answers that question!!

We acquired our 1st racoon almost dead on the dirt road. She was a baby, but had a hard time wearing her from the bottle. The other 2 were in a tree someone cut down in the city, they call my fiance racoon man, so guess what they showed up with tiny babies brother and sister, sister is the one who wont leave the house. So the older one and younger one are outside. Wish I knew were they are, but hoping their surving outside.

How do you train raccoons? I have babies about 5 weeks old

Hello from the great state of Michigan

They’re so cute

I've taken punches/head butts from Great Danes. I can handle a feisty trash panda - and I would love every second of it.

I don't have a pet raccoon but I do try to support and protect every raccoon in the swamp... I won't say which swamp but it is one of the south's largest.

I live in newzealand and the closed thing we have to racoons is posooms and since i live in nz dry wall us not a thing and walls is just 5inch think wood so if racoons were aloud in new zealand/nz u would get one but sadly i cant so 😢

i dont even want to own any pet but i still watched this vid through

I wish I could own one of these. But in the UK you can't own them anymore :(

I kind of have a question that I'm unsure that will ever be answered, but what do you normally feed Piper and Cheeto as their main diet? Like their normal food, not treats.

We feed ours dry dog food as was recommended by our vet over 30 years ago. He said they could have cat food, but over the long run ( 8-15 years) that they would develop kidney issues due to the high ash content in the cat food. We did lose a 8 year old male to liver failure in 2006 due to the Chinese dog food issue that year. We now only feed purina or Rachel Ray chicken based foods. Most of our babies have lived well into their teens.

It’s never easy losing them. My 10 year old buddy boy is going any day now as I type this. He was a rehab that we let go. He came back the 1st time all beat up from a fight and spent a month recouping with me on my bed. We got him all fixed up , rewormed and let him go his way again only to have him show up a couple of months later again weak and dehydrated. Due to his gentle nature we fixed him up again and told him he could stay. Except for not being neutered he has been a good house guest since. He only gets crazy for one month a year but then he’s back to his gentle ways. He took a liking to a female yearling this summer and they love to play with each other. She is going to be so lonely when he passes☹️

• 2:55 - Far too many people are stupid/ignorant and think that domesticated animals/pets will just survive in the wild "because nature" and "because instincts". 🤦 Then again, those are the same people who think fish breathe water and then wonder why the goldfish they put in a small bowl dies after a few days. IT DROWNED. 😒 • 3:16 - Raccoons are as ill-suited to be pets as foxes are, but worse because of their dexterity. • It sucks that we can't always have the pets we'd like, but it's important to do what's in the animals' best interests rather than our own desires. • So Tito never came home? 😕 Hopefully it's because he started a family. 🤞

How to litter train your raccoon and what are good habits to get your raccoon doing

You have made it!! It’s me btw

Second Because the youtuber is always first

Raccoons are cute but I'm not into destructive pets that need a lot of attention.

Hmmmm, I have over 25 years of "raccoon" experience. They do not make good pets, they're more like 3 year old children with sharp teeth and claws and an insatiable curiosity to figure out how things work and what things are made of. Which can result in conflict with their "human pets" as we don't much like having our hallway carpets pulled up and our living room furniture taken back to sticks! That said, these are the most wonderful sweet love-able playful caring creatures you can ever have in your fur-family! They need their own space and their own activities, for when you aren't around to entertain them. If you can't bare the thought of bleeding, you don't need a raccoon in your life because as I mentioned they have really sharp non-retractable claws and sharp teeth (and a short temper to go with all that)... if you have a raccoon fur-kid, you will bleed on occasion until the kid gets you well trained! If you just want a pet, buy a goldfish... these guys aren't a fashion statement, they're not a "cool pet", they're essentially a small child in fact! But there is nothing that even comes close to a raccoon who loves his or her "pet human". Kisses kisses kisses hair grooming and more kisses every day! Just saying from experience. ps. Raccoons do not "become mean", they do however grow into adult raccoons and have adult raccoon hormones every springtime thru about mid-summer.... some get extremely temperamental when their hormones surge every year and may turn on you at times they literally cannot help themselves, others may just get a little whiny then go back to their normal fun loving selves; if the raccoon gets aggressive from early spring thru mid-summer, a trip to the vet and a snipping of unnecessary equipment may be in order but if it only gets a bit whiny that may not be necessary for it's happiness as part of your family. Finally, you cannot take an adult wild raccoon and make it a "pet" (or furry-family member) so just don't go out looking for one please you will only get yourself hurt and the raccoon miserable if not dead! Raccoons are a huge blessing in fact, I cannot imagine life without them!
