A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall The Critter Corner Cindy wanted a picture....

Trust Cindy to want to keep a raccoon.

He is cute though.

They are cute but very pesty!! I don't like them when they come here. They eat all the bird food and poop in our big feeders!! You can keep them Cindy!

no.... I don't think so.... there are a pair of them and their mom is probably lurking out there too. They already destroyed two suet feeders....

Shadow just said NO! in a very loud voice.

I've had TWO as pets in my life. They both lived me to a ripe old age.

Notice that Rocky's sis has joined him...

I love the 4th picture - looks like he is in heaven and smiling at you Bill!

cute photo's Bill----But me,? I am no real fan of Racoons.

They are cute. They can also cause a lot of damage. They also make a huge racket running around on the roof playing when you are trying to sleep. I can sleep through their romping most of the time but I cannot sleep through my dog barking his fool head off about it. I can get him to quieten down but have to wake up to do it. I don't like that part at all.

Cute pictures!! ALL of them!! Can't they give you rabies or something if they bite you??

Raccoons are omnivorous. They like LITERALLY everything that peopledo, plus a WHOLE lot more. I fed my pet ones Purina Dog Chow,OR they would sit on MY lap and share my burgers and fries.

I often find racoons on our deck at night eating the catfood that we put out for the feral cats that come by.

They LOVE cat food,too.
