Raccoons CAN make great pets from my own experience. Though I should say temporarily. I raised an orphan raccoon one summer. One of the best animals you could have. Once she got bigger, she started to play rougher and I had to wear gloves. She was a very awesome raccoon and I have a different respect for them. Eventually she grew up, and moved out on her own. It's been about 3 years and I have no idea whether she is alive with a little family of her own or dead. This was way before I even considered getting chickens.

We had some when I was a kid. The females got mean when they reached maturity, the males were okay as long as you weren't around another racoon. My brother got bit by his male after he was at his buddy's house playing with his buddy's male. The coon (my brother's) would always bite him after that. But he (my brother) would always bait his coonhound with the coon too, not a good idea for a 'pet'. His name was Bubbles (the coon, not my brother

)

I thought it was kind of weird that mine didn't like water

Well I still have a chicken in the cat coop and no coons in the area.

So after all that and still no pix of the puddy one, snuggling with nugget?


A few years ago, I took a couple kittens from feral mom. A week later she brought me the 3rd kitten and left it in a chicken nest.

And no I didn't have a digital camera at the time.

Imp- No worries I have no intent to try to keep raccooney

LOL no Puddy doesn't snuggle! And especially not with the mashed potato stealing Nugget!

For the last month he has actually been sleeping on top of a milk crate inside the coop! I don't know why he relocated but he just did it one night. He evicted Little Foot and Luau the two little roos and they are sleeping on top of the coop for now.
