This was so neat to watch! Great job with a not so familiar animal. I love watching the introduction and hearing the reasoning behind the decisions. Great job! -Wildlife Rehabber from Michigan.

Wow she did such a good job getting him into the cage . He seemed nervous but not terribly aggressive. If there are two people who can calm that animal down it’s you two . Good luck and keep up the great work

You guys need to buy or make a catch poll so you can keep wild animals far enough away that you don't get bit by something and have to go through rabies shots

I have had the pleasure of working with coaties and I absolutely love them. They are exactly as you say and it takes the right person to work with them. BTW I have groomed a few and it was always a 2 person job and definitely not easy (with lots of training from babies). Good luck with Lilly she has found the right people.

They routinely tattoo spayed female colony cats on their belly so maybe whoever did the desexing generally spays cats. Who knows, it just seems so weird. No chip?

Hi, you can just throw a bunch of mealworms in the enclosure so they can search for them. Or put some branches with leafs in it for enrichment. Or take some cardboard boxes without the tape, put hay and mealworms in it and close it. I am sure they live it. Maybe Lili would play with a hard plastic ball, sth she can't destroy. Or if you happen to have hollow branches- put food in it and they are happy. Maybe you can ask for volunteers who prepare enrichment for the animals. Depending on your time, you could collaborate with senior residences, kindergartens schools. They could come and visit or you go to them with some animals, educate them and show them how to make the enrichment. Maybe also offer sponsorships .... Also you could put some different sents in it. Like bury a bit cinnamon, smear some basil on the wood, or have some wood from another enclosure brought into theirs do they can smell a lot of different things. Take care.

On the capture, I was a little surprised at the mildness of the coatimundi's reaction. Granted gloves saved bleeding, but I was expected more of raccoon reaction of hissing face tearing. She must have had some experiences around people I would guess. Great catch though.

I live on Florida's Space Coast but squirrels and egrets in my yard are about as wild as it gets for me (it's funny to watch them feeding together, the egrets and squirrels will walk side by side foraging). Your channel is so entertaining and educational and I'm so glad to see people as caring toward Florida wildlife as you are.

Can they get distemper? I’m pretty sure raccoons can and I know ferrets can, but I’m not sure about this guy. I know you said she/he got their rabies vaccine, but not sure if they would get dhpp too. Just curious! You and your vet obviously know more about them than I do!

Yes, raccoons can definitely get rabies. Any animal with salivary glands can contract and transmit rabies.

Raccoons are the largest of procyonid family but I’m sure it isn’t easy to catch an angry coati . Even a 20 lbs raccoon is an extremely hard animal to catch by hand .

When you move them to their new enclosure, how difficult will it be to recapture them. It seems like it would be hard, because they have all that space to run around in to get away from you. I love these videos. Keep them coming, and thanks to you both for all the rescue work you do.
