No, pics of albino raccoon but I have seen other peoples’ pictures. Newcastle Island, near Nanaimo. I will try to get one and post - in time. Lyn Hancock ...
Lea, yes raccoons are nocturnal so seeing one is daylight is a good reason to ask about. Rabies will cause animals to come out at non- normal times and they...
Hello Lea, Your concern is quite valid and the answer would be it is neither common nor uncommon. From your descriptive and the time of year, I am sure it is a...
Hi Hannah, I appreciate learning the knowledge you have of young raccoons. Also I want to thank you for being a rehabber for the sake of animals, because there...
Hannah, We haven't seen it since and Mr. Kitty's bowl has remained it's original steady-state so I guess it just wandered in for a snack. If it weren't for the...

Hannah --- Your advice is well worth heeding -- but like most 'watchers' I fall prey to those lovely little black liquid eyes that plead so nicely -- so I do...
Oh those are so great! I love getting a good picture of any animal! We have some new raccoon kits that have just shown up, late comers. They are so tiny ...

Thanks Lyn. Rehabbers have some valid points, but preventing animals from being harmed is not one that can happen unless they can give more specifics on how to...
As for herbal stuff, I have used some on dogs and it works great. One was on an older Yorkie I took in that was going blind and would cry if I left the room. I...
