please help him with food,dog food or anything 🙏 he is not harmful, he just needs food to survive. Please watch James Blackwood-raccoon Whisperer on KZbin, you will find out how sweet they are.

Thanks for your info. I watched a couple of James Blackwood's video about raccoons. They are so...nice! Just curious, Can you tell this one is he or she?

@@jamesyuan97 I feel it is she,probably try to make home for her litter.

That is most definitely a mama raccoon, and as I'm sure you can assume her litter is in the tree. Please keep your distance and be careful BUT if you want to be a sweetheart you could leave her a nice pile of dog/cat food at the base of the tree so she can feel safe. She needs a lot of calories right now and if you can tolerate her living in the tree for a bit she'll be on her way with the babies very soon. Raccoons are given a bad rap regarding rabies, etc. but it is true she'll be pretty nasty with you if she feels her babies are being threatened. Have a good day!

Thank you for sharing your comments and knowledge. We loved her and we're already missing her. It's going to be exciting if she returns and use the tree as the nest for her babies! We'd surely treat her and her babies as friendly as possible... Let's see.
