Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't do it. Please If you want to have racoons, just treat them like an annual plant. Get one in the sprig, grow him or her up, then release them to the wild. They are not pets, they will never be pets. This really is the best idea. My wife fell in love with raising orphaned baby raccoons and keeping until they are ready to be released. She's raised and released hundreds over the years. If you're interested PM me and we can hook you up with a licensed rehab'er in your area that you can work under. |

Coons are wild animals not pets. They are smart and independent. Once they hit adulthood they are going to do basically whatever the fuck they want which includes tearing your house to shreds then having no idea why you are upset with them.
Best of luck, if he really is sick with distemper and you can't get vet care you will have to put him down. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If he is still intact, he just hit puberty. Time to start letting him wander outside. He will come back from time to time, but in a few weeks he will come back and be destructive. FIFY, this is what my friends did. Came back and ripped screen door apart trying to get in. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dumb question, but can u get him tested? And will a vet give him a rabies or distemper shot? Speed The only test for rabies is to send the head to Austin and have the brain examined. Other than that raccoons are not my area of expertise. Also, I do not recommend wild animals as pets. |

My wife is a vet and has done tons of wildlife rescue work here in TX.
Raccoons "go wild" at adolescence. The best thing to do is to turn him over to a wildlife rescue. There are tons in TX. |

Cute as they are, the only good raccoon is a dead one. You are playing with fire!
ETA: I hope you don't have small kids around. Raccoons carry a brain eating parasite that small children contract through contact with racoon shit. |

Puberty. Once raccoons hit puberty, they turn into assholes. There is a reason they are not domesticated pets.
If you want an exotic pet, skunks and domesticated foxes are a better choice. |

My Dad grew up with a pet Raccoon. They lived on a Farm so it was domesticated but not a house pet. I saw a picture of him and he was huge for a coon.
He raised all sorts of hell, and was particularly skilled at drowning other peoples dogs in a slew. He could open doors and cupboards, would often re-organise the tool box in the shop. He also would climb into any car with the window down and take a nap on the seat. They are never going to be a house pet, but they are a very smart animal, and can get familiar with people. Still my Grandma told me about a few time he snuck into the house, emptied out the entire kitchen while searching for a bag of jelly beans. There in not much you can keep them out of, they are capable if sticking a key in a lock and turning it... |

I follow raccoon_tornado on IG and they have a pet male raccoon. It's Russia, where they seem to make pets of anything they want, so take that with a grain of salt.
The raccoon, on rare occasions, attacks the guy. However, it seems like it blows over quick. It never attacks the girl, so maybe the raccoon is fighting the other male for attention? It looks like a cool pet, but I wouldn't want to share my house with one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Where does she release them? I would imagine that domestically raised raccoons are even more dependent on humans than most. I am guessing that most released raccoons become pests that others look to eradicate. It makes you feel good, but you are passing on your good feelings to others as a major problem. Wild animals in wild settings are great. Wild animals in human settings are not always so good and often are detrimental to both the humans and the animals. Different places, but typically large rural acreage away from as much civilization as possible. No way to be sure on the second part, but I can tell you once they are a few months old, they do not get any human interaction but her's and it's very limited. They are not friendly at all by the time they are released. |

 Failed To Load Title Good luck! I’ve known people that had raccoons to train dogs with. They got a license to do this and kept them outside. They had to rotate the raccoons out after a period of time. I cannot recall the length of time though but I thought one year was it. Contact the game warden and he will know. You were called by a rescue agency I hope what they were doing is legal in your state. The fines can be hefty. |

with a reproductive cycle of less than 2 years, and a litter size of two to five kits each time, it wouldn't take too many years to selectively breed a domesticated trash panda.

My mom had a pet racoon when she was little. It turned wild and had to leave. I had one, but it died very young.
Have you considered castrating it? See if you can find a local goat herder to 'band' its testicles like you do to castrate a goat or cow? |
