I'm in love with raccoons! My whole life i've been in awe of these creatures and! They look like little burglars:D.

[image loading]

Anyway, I live in the US and I'm trying to figure out a legal way to adopt one of these babies as a pet. Can I just go grab one and take care of it? Do I need to go through some legal documentation? Is there some raccoon shelter I can go to to adopt them?

I have 4 dogs, a cat, and 2 exotic snakes. Obviously he won't be getting near the snakes, but how will he behave with the other animals? How will the other ones behave with him?

Any of you have a pet raccoon and can offer me some advice?

That sounds terrible. They are messy and mean and they dont like people.

That said they are cute.

It will fight with your cat (and dogs if they are smaller) and probably kill it if you arnt careful.

Well i'm sure I could train it. PetSmart gives little training seminars for little to no money all the time, but I doubt they'd let a raccoon come.

When I Google it just shows me like horror stories and stuff with raccoons doing bad things - no well trained domesticated ones.

Let nature take its course, "here buddy.... c'mere you little bandit <3".

"Man dies of infected raccoon wound"

Seriously I've seen raccoons run into sewer drainage gaps before and they love garbage. I am usually wary even of cats / dogs outdoors because they can have fleas, a raccoon(which can also be quite vicious) is like a walking source of disease for humans.

You should do it.

Raccoon dogs are completly different of raccoons. Like their name says they are somewhat related to dogs/wolves.
Raccoon on the other hand are from a different family. They are probably way more difficult to tame (???)

edit: actually it seems that you can't really tame raccoon dogs either.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Raccoons have rabies and eat food out of trash cans.
