You guys are AMAZING ✌️❤️🙂 I'm here in the US & would love it if you all could franchise here. We've had quite a bit of raccoon activity recently & there's not one place like you 😉 always stay safe & keep up with the wonderful job you do. I have so much respect for you. ✌️❤️🤗

Good job, and gorgeous babies. She looked like a young Mum. I really appreciate the way you do your job while taking care that the animals also are able to stay together and not be traumatized by the separation. You do good work. I let them be in my carriage house and under the back steps, but not in the house.🖤🇨🇦

Those nails on the roof look dangerous. There are compact hardhats available that don't encumber you too much when in tight spaces. Many also come with attachments for flashlights. It's probably worth checking them out.

[@ursulasmith6402]

Lousy construction, the European union will not allow this.

[@PhantomQueenOne]

My dad was a carpenter contractor, this is normal for a roof. If the nails are too short, the shingles will pull off in a wind storm. This applies for asphalt shingles, I don't remember how other kind of roofing is applied.

[@fellow7091]

Maybe helmet wouldn´t seem so sexy in the video

[@tundrawomansays694]

@@fellow7091 If she can rock false eyelashes in a hell hole of an attic I’m sure a hard hat wouldn’t be any less camera worthy!

[@maxb4074]

They said it was really hot in there so maybe reluctant to use a hardhat. Alto, they really know what they are doing and have dealt with nails like this before. But hardhat necessary for beginners or amateurs.

What a team! You guys are great! You understand life and the fact that "we" humans have kind of moved into their homes. The animals are very resourceful and only want a warm comfortable place to sleep. Their plumbing system is not modern and soon enough they will be sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette and watching tv with you. They have to go. Besides, who's paying the taxes?

[@AmazonWebService98]

New subscriber, just found you. That's hard work in such a confined space, you done really well 😊 I was wondering how she got into the attic in the first place and won't she just go back in once you've gone?

They usually find where the entrance was and board it up or put wire grid over it.

@13:37, poor mum, like trying to herd cats

[@yourbestfiend512]

Poor mama, gotta deal with 3 kids and now she is homeless 😄. I feel bad for her but understand

[@SheCat1964]

Just could not let them get a bit bigger? My night time mom started bring her babies, 6 to begin with to my back yard to play all night. She ended up leaving 2 behind in a tree and they cried all night. I guess she came back for them. The next night she left one behind and i think that one chose to go look for mom but did not find her. The rest of the week she only had 5. Then all of a sudden she had none. She stopped bringing them and she seemed more stressed than usual. last week one baby showed up in my yard alone and had some sort of ear injury she kept digging at. She curled up on my patio in front of my bbq and stayed there till morn. But mom had already come and gone, before baby came. I have not seen her with babies since. And they were not much older than these. Still a bit wobbly. Mom has been back a few times, i leave a treat out for her and the last time i saw her 2 days ago, she was molesting or trying to mother a skunk. She was holding it down and cleaning the back end and hugging it. The skunk did not care at all. That was not the first time i have seen a raccoon befriend or mother a skunk. 2 years ago i had a very sweet raccoon friend, who came to spend the evenings with me every night on my patio. We even played ball and tug and she sat on my lap a couple of times because she did not like the possum that came by. But that summer i also had 7 baby skunks coming to my yard and there was one that the raccoon i called Dita, just loved. She always had to hold her down and hug her and pet her. It was a pretty surreal first covid summer, with all the wildlife running around me all evening. My daughters called me snow-white. But i am very concerned what happened to this new moms babies. Why would she just stop bringing them for treats? One i named tinman because when he chewed on his peanut butter sandwich his jaws squeaked. I miss getting to see them. But we also have a very skinny fox in the area at times, so maybe that's why? The fox cleared my 6ft fence like nothing. Did you happen to be in the burlington area 2 weeks ago?

[@tundrawomansays694]

They’re really, really cute, right? Until they’re in your house and destroying it. Or in your yard with rabies.

[@KristineS73]

[@haryh]

Why not wait until they go out and then close the access?

[@maybememory1]

I heard a raccoon pet owner once describe a single raccoon as being “like a group of five year olds on crystal meth”, so I guess we can imagine what poor mama wrangling actual raccoon children is like 😂

[@new_comment]

Man, what an awesome career that would be

[@tundrawomansays694]

Sure. As long as you don’t mind climbing ladders, walking around steep pitched roofs, heights, heat, freezing cold, bees, rats/mice/lice and parasites, ice/sleet/snow on that ladder not to mention the really wild animals that are residing inside the house and pay the mortgage but “forget” to pay you month after month-Almost makes ya want to “repatriate” the former residents.

[@msavina9129]

Praise be to the raccoons of Canada, looks like their heavy populations have led to a thriving growing business. I never imagined you’d need ten or more vans to handle the workload. But this will happen with such cute critters, humans don’t exactly want to kill them. All the big predators are probably out in the forest. * These would be a great talking points for a new show, as long as you show us cute critters while explaining it. 😄 Just a thought. Great job as usual removing them. Ive been leaving snacks for the near tame possum thar comes to my yard here in Maryland. I sometimes do weeding n things in the middle of the night bc of my insomnia. This possum has come up just a few yards from me on three occasions. I have not seen it lately but I know it’s visiting bc of digging in raised bed n flower pots looking for grubs. I have a bazillion grubs, every place I dig I find them. I need to treat the area. Ive captured like 15 at a time but don’t know how I could lay them out for the possum or birds. Id rather they eat them than me kill them. 🙂

Blown in insulation can be bad. Fiberglass (the pink stuff) can be worse. My dad who was a carpenter contractor was allergic to the fiberglass stuff. He looked like he had a first degree burn where it touched him, especially around his nose and mouth just from breathing around it, even with a mask. He hated working with it, but it was part of his job.

I'm pretty sure the mom was cisgender I'm wondering if you ever find a trans mom raccoon -- or for that matter, any aniimal. If so, are the trans mothers pretty much on the same level as their counterpart cisgender mums? I really like to study animals and contrast them with people. More times than not, there is a lot of overlap and common ground

Often times wild animal moms are more appropriate caregivers to their offspring than the human ones.
