The racoons that come to visit us really enjoy eating white bread. We are trying to figure out a way t keep them fed while we go on vacation and have read...
they enjoy most dog kibbles - when I leave I fill a child's wading pool with their kibble, that way they (hopefully!) don't run out until I return - I feed...
Hello everyone, My name is Leigh and I just wanted to introduce myself and tell ya'll a little about my raccoon buddies. I live in Texas near Houston and I...
Hi Leigh, I have been feeding raccoons since last summer. It all started I was feeding a stray cat. It took the cat 2 weeks till I could pet him. One night...
Hi Leigh, What a wonderful warm and loving environment you've created for your 30 guests! And how enchanting that you got to experience, thru Buddy, the magic...
... I too started out feeding cats - boy it didn't take them long to spread the word - now instead of feeding in bowls I feed in plastic children's wading...
hello Leigh, welcome... and thanks for sharing your stories with us. Sorry to hear about your friend Buddy, for 3 yrs you must have made a wonderful connection...
Hello Lori, funny story about those lil devil coons! I dont understand the ones that are so violent either. It must just be a personality trait of some kind. I...
There are some interesting observations here. I, too, have noticed significant differences between litters, even from the same mothers. In my first year with...
Hello Damon~ ... All four fell into a formation, shoulder to shoulder and started across the deck toward the cat. I can picture that encounter in my mind......
... Kate you are absolutely right, it is an unbelievable treasure to be given the gift of having them accept us - they are truly the most wonderful animals of...
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I have to say this. I love racoons too, and none of you are doing those poor racoons any favours by encouraging them to lose...
If you are feeding, please try to get the very best quality food that you can. Kibbles are just what dry dog food is called. Kibbles and Bits are NOT a good...
your not being a wet blanket.. just someone with an opinion who cares about the wild life. I have to disagree on some of your points and others are well taken....
Some of your points are well taken, but others are a bit suspect. Although raccoons appear to be very intelligent, I am not at all sure they generalize from...
We have tried to get them to eat whole wheat bread, but it just gets thrown into the water dish, just like any end pieces we put out do. None of them willl eat...
One thing that -- apparently -- ALL raccoons agree on is mini marshmallows. And grapes. There is, of course, one major drawback to the universal acceptance of...
I have to agree ! It seems that anything with peanut butter on it, is a hit with them. The grapes they love. I think they prefer black grapes. Ohh and they...
If you don't want holes in your sliding screen, you must train your raccoons to slide the door open. One of our visitors, Daylight, was very good at sliding...
Id like to think that Sassy would be willing to be trainned. LOL Im getting a new slider in soon and .. oo oo.. .shes in the hole again grabbing the bag of...
... mine love Sunflower Bread from Panera Bakeries, so do I tho so sharing becomes somewhat problematic! ... I use Canidae, other great brands are Wellness,...
... a couple of years ago Rye Cooner was very adept at opening our very heavy slider, and once again this year a red youngster is the champ - and yes the...
It would seem to me the others never bothered to learn how to open the door because they knew Daylight would do it for them. No reasons why raccoons should be...
... Kate, with a margarita, ANYTHING would taste good, even my world-famous peanut butter and Velveeta souffle. --Andrew (who is wishing HE had a big ole...
LOL Andrew... Chi Chi's margarita mix, just add ice and a blender, some salt. and your ready for that peanut butter and velveeta souffle!! ready mix... made...
... We have the CIA to thank for that. According to a documentary I saw recently, the CIA convinced a bunch of space aliens that mosquitos were an endangered ...
HI -- I am a new 'Raccoonwatcher/friend' and want to put my two cents worth in --- as a [once upon a time]Zoology major AND a bonafide St. Francis of Assisi...
