I wonder if one can vaccinate a coon and tame it....

wouldn't even attempt it - domesticating wildlife is never a good thing.

when i was a teenager (oh so many moons ago) my dad was 'given' a very juvenile raccoon by the local wildlife shelter. we were able to sort of toilet train it, we walked it on a leash, but only kept it until it was able to survive on its own. It was released in the autumn, and last seen had a wife and put on a lot of weight. it was NEVER meant to be kept as a pet.

and kitkat, i REALLY miss squirrels, i always squee when i go back for visits and see them. one of the highlights of home

I got 2 of them staring at me now, made sure the shed in the garden is locked, read up on them and they are destructive little buggers, they do scamper a bit when I use the towel and wave it, but most of the time they just stare at me with that "Hey, where's food?" look (must resist, must resist) or they are fornicating, small wonder they're always hungry, they're fucking in average every 10 minutes but it seems rather brief

If I had a penis that looked like this

Id fuck all day too

Status: offline 		Do not feed them, they will never go away, and in a short period of time you will be praying for that.

If they follow you outside use the garden hose? That might do the trick. Maybe, I dunno, they do like water.

And yes, they are major thieves. I had a family set up in the crawl space next to my basement (how they got in there I have no idea.) I ignored them and eventually they went away.

I am thinking they might be attracted to the pool. Is it salt water perhaps? B/c I know coons won't den all that far away from water.

Cute, but fierce and often carry rabies. And they steal anything they can carry -- mom saw one take off with a sealed box of chocolates! Kind of an awkward package to carry.

Status: offline 		Great pics, nice pool, cute coons . . . hanging by the pool would makes me want to get my freak on too. Raccoons are a hoot and in the inverse, raccoons watch people porn.


I used to live on a lagoon and there was a raccoon family of 3 there. I had full length old 1950s style louvered Florida windows in the living room. There were palm trees outside the front window and the fruit would fall to the ground. My girl and I were sitting on the couch watching the projection screen TV when I heard something rustling at the window. Low and behold, there, just outside the windows are 3 raccoons sitting up, eating palm fruit and watching TV like they were at the theater or something. This became a habit. The racoons often came over to watch TV at night. After eating all the fruit from that tree, they would gather fruit from the other trees and bring it to the window to watch TV. Sure enough, during the "popcorn & porn" parties, the racoons would show up and watch the people porn with us too.



ETA: I was lucky, there was so much food on the lagoon, the coons didn't scavenge the house or do anything destructive. There was one other house in the little nature preserve and they used to feed the racoons. They put out all their table scraps for them. The racoons fought hard to keep their little heaven on the lagoon. I could hear them fighting with bobcats and such.

This bugger loved to sneak up on kids and stick his nose in your butt…I swear he was laughing as you jumped in the air. He also loved to do it to the cat which would turn around and try to scratch the raccoon who would then bob and weave and piss the cat off even more because he couldn’t get him. They are fast, agile and mean. They eventually had to get rid of him.

Yes they are thieves, I lost one bikini top to them (wonder what they are going to do with that one), a granola bar and some sun block... From the sounds of it they possibly had an orgy last night...

Status: offline 		Many, many years ago, I used to "keep" raccoons. Let me explain the quotation marks:

I was born in Newark, NJ and raised in NYC until I was 14 or 15. At that point, I was allowed to go live with mom and my step-dad.

They lived in - what was to this city boy - a rural area, at the time (Piscataway, NJ in 1978-79) on a ⅔ acre of land that had two brooks (yes with small brook trout) that flowed onto the property.

The landlord (Good ol' Frank Peppy) told the story of the "bear" that we kept hearing at night (the breathing could be heard from about 30 yards away). As he told the story, it turned out to be a very large (20-25 lb.) raccoon that introduced itself to him during one of his cookouts by coming down the roof of the shed onto the brick bar-b-que in front of about 15 people. Pretty brazen and lots of people assumed that the animal was rabid. It was not.

Frank started feeding it by tossing food up onto the roof. He said he was surprised that the animal would eat chicken but not eggs.

I was so relieved to find out that the breathing did not belong to a bear that I started spending more time outside, at night and eventually, I saw the animal. She came waddling up to the back patio with four little ones in tow. I went into the house and got some cheese.

Eventually (weeks later), the little ones wouldn't just take the food out of my hand, they began climbing up on my lap and taking food (almost whatever I offered) right out of my hand.

As time went on, some of these young ones had their own litters and brought their young'uns around. They have excedingly sharp claws (They're arboreal!) but, I can say I was never bitten and I had educated myself about them (When I was younger, the inter-webs was called "a library", kids) and never saw any signs of rabis. I'm not saying they didn't have the disease; just that it was never an issue/danger for me.

I loved these critters, even though they are rodents and I (very briefly) even considered studying zoology in my junior year, as a result.

I detest most rodents but these are some truly amazing animals; well worth a little bit of investigation (especially with today's "library" being right at our fingertips. That's right, kids! The inter-webs isn't just for porn, anymore).

If you prefer video, David Attenborough did a series called: "The Life of Mammals" which does a nice job of profiling raccoons in two episodes (urban and rural types. There is a difference).

Thank you for the candid photos! They were great!



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Status: offline 		Well, our lot doesn't seem to be wild, I'm a bit worried because whenever I am out by the pool they just come up and stare at me (possibly trying to figure out how they can steal more bikinis), they don't really behave like wildlife, oddly enough they don't do that with my friend, so I guess they maybe must have been fed by a woman, or for some odd reason they just took a liking to me. I'm fairly positive that with some encouragement, they would take food from my hands, though I don't want to encourage them to settle down and possibly wreck the house, and there is the danger of them having rabies or being a carrier... My dogs have rabies vaccination (mandatory in the UK for getting a pet passport), so I guess it should be possible to give a raccoon a vaccination... Several people in CA have raccoons as pets, think they all have a wildlife license?
