i had a friend as a kid that found a baby raccoon wandering on it's own. took it home...and cared for it. fed it seafood flavored catfood in a can ad gave it marshmallow's for treat's.
it was as friendly as a puppy!
he had it all the way through it's adulthood.
it was a neet experience to see....a baby raccoon following him around the neighborhood !
not sure what ever came of it?
once you raise it in captivity,
you can't release it in the wild!!
but they are cute and fun to hold as a young animal!and this baby coon slept with his dog! the dog was an old female collie that i guess just sort of took it in as a pup or orphan, but they got along great!
