    Raccoon attack

    Thank you everybody for responding! My husband is setting a trap and we're going to be altering their house so that it locks in the next couple of weeks.

    We finally got our babies... and desperately need advice.

    Thank you guys for all of your help! I moved the lamp further into the corner to bring the temp down on the side further from the lamp. I also added another bowl of water in there so they have the choice between clear water and the water with nutri drench. The little boy's leg seems a little...

    I can move the lamp further into the corner and see if that brings the temp on the other side down, if not I can make a bigger brooder. They are in a large storage bin right now. I'm going to see if he'll let me take a pic of his leg. I've been trying not to scare him.
