Rob Tome - 2009-01-15 I am thinking of getting a raccoon, I raised skunks for years and have always wanted a raccoon. Does anyone know if there is a difference in the tempermant of the male and female racoons? Is one calmer than the other and more friendly?
Amber - 2009-01-08 Does any one know if it is illegal to have raccoons as pets in the state of new york? I love raccoons, they are cuddly, loving, and they could keep some one on their feet.
Bobbi - 2009-01-04 My precious, precious pet raccoon Merlin passed away in my arms on Dec. 4. He would have been 6 years old this year. I bottle fed him along with his twin brother, Arthur. My heart is broken over his death. Raccoons are the most loving souls and I miss him dearly. Thank goodness we were given a female raccoon (Gwinavere) 2 summers ago and she is a wonderful companion for Arthur now. They both miss Merlin, I can tell. Raccoons are the loves of my life. A big chunk of my heart is missing now.

Lori - 2008-11-26 This is in response to "Stacey" who asked "Does anyone know a website through which to purchase a raccoon?" on November 18, 2008. Stacey, if you (or anyone else) are truthfully (and sincerely) interested in giving a raccoon a beautiful home, or can possibly properly reintroduce one into a safe natural habitat I would love to be contacted. This is not about making money from the sale of a coon; however, it is about finding an awesome home in a state where it is not illegal to have them as a pet.
Anonymous - 2008-11-16 Hello, I am nakoosa's and rockies companion. To the women whom has coonie have you tried natural stuff, like garlic in the capsules. My raccoon nakoosa loves putting them in water then eating them. Or something that gets rid of toxins in are own bodies is milkthistle. That you would have to watch, nakoosa will take about 4 sometimes 5, depending on the amount of grams. The native americans had cures for everything and these were 2 of them that I could think of to help you. I hope coonie is around for sometime to come and it sounds like he's well on his way to teaching us humans a few things. mary
Anonymous - 2008-11-16 Hi quickly, nakoosa companion and rockies again. I forgot something, if he is in a cage is he litter boxed. My rockie, for reason of no teeth and in nature, would think the litter as the bottom of a creek and eat it, causing seizures because of the toxins in it. Natural litter solved the problem. He also did not use the litter for potty, he lets us know when he has to go and he goes outside. If you choose natural products to help coonie like garlic and milkthislte, kooey eats garlic and she just loves it, but the milkthistle I watch. I read somewhere if a horse eats to much of it out in pastures, he can get sick so I find the lowest dosage. She eats about 4 or five of both garlic and milkthistle, she doesn't eat the capsule, she sucks out the stuff. Clever little girl. Again best hopes for you and coonie. We all know what you're going thru, just trying to help. mary
"lady" - 2008-11-11 I have a real sweetheart. Coonie has been with us since a bottle fed baby two and a half years ago. I feel so blessed to have found a vet that gives him rabies/distemper shots, (& most importantly I think) nuetered him before he was six months old. He lives in a ferret nation cage (2 stories high), and comes out for regular playtimes. He is a real people person coon, so to speak. His cage is in the foyer, and he loves lady to open the cage and let friends pet him and shake paws. I can only humanize it that he figures if you're cool with mom and dad, you're cool with him. He has won the hearts of many. When he is let out for playtime he doesn't usually come over to snuggle. He has a different personality for playing with each of the different animals. One he is very chatty with, and they often have to be told to quiet down and calm down. Another dog he climbs on top of, they tossle about, and usually end up grooming each other for hours on end. Now that cat he just wishes he could get close to. His favorite "toys" would be ice cubes, the dogs water bowl and anything he can dunk in and out of the water. Like a 2 year old, you put it in, then you take it out, in and out, in and out. And now as his owner and mom, I'm a little beside myself. I found out today that he has cancer. The vet says that we can put him on prednisone to try and slow it down, but I am concerned about side affects,and possibly a change in his attitude. Right now it only seems to be in his glands on his neck. it started in one gland and within a month it was in the next. The good news is it hasn't gone to any other glands, AND his temperment has not changed, it doesn't seem to be causing any pain. I have noticed he has more frequent coughing fits though. I know this has been wordy, but thank you for letting me share. I have always felt that Coonie has a mission in life - to change peoples fears and melt their hearts. I hope he can continue to do so.
Here is a raccoon up past his bedtime! This younster couldn't keep still, climbed all over everybody and was constantly "checking things out"!
