The pattern of the raccoons eating right now has been bizzare. When I first started putting the 4 bowls out a few weeks ago, they were eating it all. Now it...
I've noticed the same thing. I just figure they're foraging on their own now that the woodsy areas are starting to green up and the ice is gone from the ponds...
So far we just have the same stragglers. They rarely show up as a group. One newcomer is extremely shy and looks terrified. Not much else happening here....
My little guys are coming out every day. Actually it varies between six and nine each morning. I know that I've gone over the edge now 'cause I've started...
Hi, I live in Florida and have a couple families of coonies I have been feeding for a couple years. They let me pet them, scratch their necks and backs and...
I have to say that he/she was more wirey feeling than I had thought. I'd always thought they were really soft but it was more like a wire- hired terrier. I...
Jeanne, I have some pictures, I will atach them, the Coonie eating out of my hand is Harry, he has been around the longest and is the most tame. The one in...
My raccoons never come out in the daytime. Darn. How do you get them to do that? Karen (Mary Beth-what will you do if one bites you, even accidentally??) I...
Am traveling a lot these days from one presentation to another but will be here enjoying spring in May. I woke yesterday morning to find otters scampering...
Karen, I think the raccoons in Florida are a lot different than the raccoons up north. Ours are smaller and not aggressive like the raccoons we had in...
... Every mammal can contract rabies -- while incubation periods vary greatly an animal is not contagious until and unless it is in the end-stages of the...
I'm not afraid of my little guys or I wouldn't be petting them. My run- in with the unfriendly cat put a little scare into me but I approach all animals with...
I do love otters. It is so much fun to watch them play. Anyhow, nice to hear from you. Did you get my check?? I did get the book--thanks so much. Always...
Thanks so much, Karen Shaver, for your check for the book. I received it today. Rabbits are running around too. A crow stands nearby and bends his head and...
I think animals know if you are pure in heart in your dealings with them. I might not try that on a bear....;-) but birds, raccoons, etc. seem to know you...
Dear Dave: Now I see the pictures of Herbie in the tree! They are great pictures too! You really do take good pictures! I can't believe how comfortable he...
Mine don't come out during the light of day either, but I think that is because I am in a very populated subdivision and they need to avoid the people whose...
Dear Lyn: I have so far read your books about the cougar and about Tabasco, and really enjoyed both, although the endings were sad. You really are a great...
Jeanne, I am so sorry to hear you were sick. I do hope you are feeling somewhat better now. Pneumonia can be very bad. Take it easy for awhile. Karen S I...
Dear Karen: Thanks! I am feeling a lot better, but still have problems with balance and I think I also still have an ear infection. Things are looking up...
Dear Jeanne, Thanks for everything. I brought Tabasco to life at a school today – and really enjoyed the illustrations of Tabasco as Dr. Goesinta the...
You think sexyjoy is a raccoon?? It is breeding season. LOL. Karen S (I hate spammers.) Didn't anyone stop to think what might happen if Ray (HaR) got near...
Greetings from Sunny Florida This is my first internet group. I went out this morning to get the Sunday paper and the wild cats I feed were looking across the...
Saw an article by Seth Morabito saying racoons love dog food--but he didn't say which kind--dry, canned, etc. Gave the critter who moved in some packets of...
