Baby Raccoon Desperate For Help

[@gateswildlife]

Hi everyone, thank you for your kind words about this video! To answer the most common question asked below: after an extensive search of the attic, no signs of any additional babies were found. It is easy to confuse the sounds of one baby with the sounds of multiple babies because of their unique chittering. Therefore it is possible that this was the only baby in the litter from the start.

[@xorbodude]

Could others have fallen down other walls?

[@tthappyrock368]

So glad no dead babies were found! And that the one you rescued got a surrogate mama! Your company does such good and caring work! I can't believe the callousness of the other company.

[@jasonw8124]

When cutting into drywall, I have found that a "multi-tool" with a drywall blade is much safer way of opening up drywall. Much more difficult to damage wiring and plumbing, and wouldn't hurt a furry creature stuck behind a wall. Maybe something to consider adding to the arsenal.

[@staceyroberts3468]

My heart was breaking and I really wanted to know about the others!!! I’m like.... how can they end it like this 🤷‍♀️ I wish the name of the other company could b told. That upsets me so much, they shouldn’t get any business at all. 😡

[@TheEmbersFromAshes]

Thank you for saving this little baby, so glad a surrogate mom was found for it! We feed the local raccoons in our backyard and the variations in litter sizes is pretty amazing. Invariably there is at least one mama with just one baby, sometimes a couple of singles, but most often they have 3-4. Think the largest litter we've seen so far is 5 babies. I love the little chirp the babies make when communicating with their mamas. Because our winters are relatively mild there are pretty much 2 seasons we see litters, Spring and Autumn. We have oppossum too, have had to rescue babies from our spa before. We also have skunks but never get to see the babies when they're truly tiny. Have one denning in a side shed that the door warped on. Figure will wait for Spring and warmer temps/drier conditions before we attempt an eviction 🙂 Thank you for being so compassionate and kind with wildlife!

[@ashallen2835]

This is what I like about you guys. You aren't exterminators, your re-homers. You love animals of all shapes and sizes, and treat them with respect. You guys are the best.

[@piratekit3941]

These guys are unique, I'm pretty sure most of the removalists here do NOT save the babies. If I ever need to hire someone to remove raccoons from my house, that is definitely going to be one of the questions I ask, and I'm not going to hire anyone who doesn't remove the babies too.

[@sarahbrown5373]

I imagine that she's really wishing she had called you sooner. That mess on her roof was horrible. You do far better work and you care about the animals. It's a shame about the other babies, but falling to the floor level saved the other one. It would have been very hot in the attic. I'm so glad that a surrogate mother was found. This is the kind of rescue I look for with this channel. This is why I follow you.

[@gateswildlife]

Hi Sarah, the situation that unfolded at this house prior to when we arrived was very unfortunate. Sadly, there are many companies out there that do not hold the animal's lives in high regard. Thank you so much for the kind words about my company. I appreciate it!

Poor babies! Horrible company that doesn't care if the little ones live or die. They should be reported for animal abuse! I'm glad you could get the one out Brad. And the fact the another mother would take the baby in is amazing.

Your compassion is immeasurable .... thank you for treating the animals you encounter with such kindness. How wonderful to see this baby raccoon drink the water.🙂🦝

[@Rambo7Mr]

You were so kind and gentle to the baby. Thank you for caring for them. I am so sorry that some people just don’t care. How can people be so unkind and uncaring. They are little creatures. God did create them.

[@susanmacleod9858]

This home owner is amazing too..

[@johnmack1185]

Thank god for this lady to stick with it and call Brad. You put yourself in the hands of "professionals" and it takes a bit for the "That's bullshit " to kick in and in this case it was a happy ending for at least one of the little guys.

[@reginaromsey]

Good that the lady cares and is gentle with children. The kids will learn to care about the helpless.

[@anitahardesty2163]

Breaks my heart. Poor baby! Very sad how the other companies don't care!

[@nopandakit8051]

In this age of social media, the first company has to not give a damn about anything to do business like this. I guarantee they have other complaints against them, and they don't care. I bet they hope that most people don't check them out before they are called. The job they did on that roof door is ridiculously bad! I could do better than that, and I know very little about construction. But then, I've got common sense and care for animals and humans, which they obviously don't. Thanks so much to Gates for sharing the right way to do business and to care for animals! You guys are awesome!

[@AllThingsTrueCrime]

This is heartbreaking. Thank you SO much for your kindness towards raccoons. I’m Australian so I see them as cute (lol) but I know they can be pests and therefore not treated as humanely.

[@kimmyhurst6990]

I'm American and I think they are sooo adorable ☺ I want a baby lol Btw have you seen a kangaroo? I want to see one and cuddle with one soo bad lol

[@jenisecoronado5555]

What a horrible death for those scared, starving, and overheated little ones!!!

[@sarahbrown5373]

I know, the woman must really be regretting that she didn't call Brad sooner. They starved and baked to death. It was amazing that the one fell out of the attic, and managed to survive!

[@jenisecoronado5555]

@@sarahbrown5373 Yes, it was a feisty one, for sure!

[@asleepbydawn137]

​@@sarahbrown5373well how would she know? She probably just looked up companies and called the first one that came up. Jeez.

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

I sincerely hope that the company that was previously hired for this job has been called out and put out of business! They obviously are NOT concerned about wildlife or animals in general... Furthermore, this "company" should be sued and taken to court for animal cruelty! THANK GOODNESS that You (and Your company...) have a HEART! Keep up the great work that You do!💕 💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸

[@wheenmist]

Thank you for saving at least one of the litter of cute little guys. What happened to the rest? So nice to see someone has compassion for these little ones.

[@jacthing1]

@Janeen Trujillo wow....who hurt you

[@FANLIZable]

Wish this nice lady would tell everyone the name of that company on that way every person know what kind of uncompassionate business they managed, it's unbelievable that many humans aren't as humane as you guys, thanks for saving the life of many baby raccoons and relocating them with their moms, that is precious ♥️

[@cybercroneCA]

Glad someone else also mentioned the Pedialyte. I believe it can be beneficial for all mammals that are starved and/or dehydrated. I had mice that came in my house this winter and nested in the warming drawer of my oven. They must have been going in and out through the hole around the gas pipe or something because they never seemed to come into the house with one exception. I found that they had somehow been able to climb UP the smooth metal tube going into my vacuum cleaner, which was full of small downy feathers from my parrot moulting. They were pushing big mounds of feathers back up the rubber part of the vacuum tube then down the metal part and getting them across to the oven for their nest. It was so fascinating wondering just HOW they managed that, that I almost put off getting them moved, but was afraid they would scare the parrot (which they had already done, but I didn't know it was mice) and his thrashing might cause him to break a blood feather with serious consequences. Anyway, I phoned the "pest" company that has the contract for our condo development - AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY LIVE TRAPS - they just use poison or glue boards. I was disgusted so went out and got a live trap and have re-homed a sweet mouse couple. So glad there are folks like Gates out there.

[@shadowviruz]

I had a family of racoons evicted recently and the racoon specialist blew us off once we told him it was a litter of pups in our floor. Had to make a few holes and I put buckets with some rags under the holes. Checked on them the next day and we found 4 babies in the buckets, one was on the concrete slab and got real cold but we wrapped him up and kept him warm he started to move around . The hard part after that was finding somebody to take the pups, every place I called said they would have to be put down. I ended up getting a hotline for wildlife rescue from a vet and found a foster family for the puppos.

Good work, Brad. I really think the company that had done such a terrible job and left the babies to die horribly of heat, thirst and hunger ought to have been named. Consumers need to be alerted to the presence of such crooks and who they are. Let's not beat about the bush. ΠΞ

[@emmaburgessdean2355]

@Janeen Trujillo I could not have waited. I'd have had the hubby up there taking it all apart to get to them...

[@Sienisota]

@Janeen Trujillo I think she said she was trying to get in contact with the first company for the first days. If she had to get money to hire a new company, that might have also taken days (asking a loan from family members for example). If she didn't care at all, she wouldn't have gotten a another company to help the babies.

[@emmaburgessdean2355]

Very pleased that the home owner was concerned for the babies. Too bad the others were lost. That one-way door is an awful idea. It just separates the babies from their life source. My husband had to take apart (and dig through ground rocks) to release a baby raccoon from our downspout of our house. The baby was much bigger than the one in this video. He had to leave for work and told me not to touch it because I'd get hurt. But the baby had no energy to climb out only about 6 inches from the pipe she was in. I just finally grabbed her by the scruff and held her in a towel until the afternoon, and then we took the dogs for a walk and left her in a towel in a box near where she had been and the mother came back for her. Mother had been chewing on the downspout all night, and that is how we realized what the problem was. They are the sweetest babies. That little one in the video was tough though, for its age!
