Great video! Loved seeing Connor and Charlotte too!

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

Big Ben sure has come a long way since I first saw him. The once standing on the steps, easily spooked racoon now at times takes a hot dog from Jim's hand. Nice seeing so many racoons. They all will be nice and chunky before the cold weather and snow hits. Jim your a wonderful man. You treat each racoon with respect, love, and lots of hot dogs. Night Nite everyone & Sweet Dreams 😴💤🌛

[@janicekyzer5770]

As usual this made my night! Never in a million years would I have gotten hooked on watching these babies eat. Such a simple thing but so sweet💕

[@lindaneff2558]

Those are the most well-upholstered racoons I have ever seen!

I was just about to give up. I was also hoping you had the chance to rest, and took the night off. You are an amazing man.🥰😇 Your sweet face when they all ran off. I just love you!

[@catlady4799]

Ben is such a large boy. He is so sweet.

[@femalism1715]

Buddy is too cute! He eats right out of Jim's mouth! Big Ben is a regular now! Supper, 2nd supper, and bed lunch treats! Two rounds of hotdogs, cookies, dryfood, and of course they don't listen...children never listen LOL! In our household, the saying is "survival of the cutest" raccoons have nothing to worry about!

Love to hear that smacking, it's like music to my ears! Love to see Buddy, Sammy, little felllas and Big Beautiful Ben! I miss Scooter though. How could anyone not want Charlotte, she is so beautiful and sweet. Well, it was meant to be for Charlotte to be with Jim.

[@sgtjameslindsey2493]

One doesn't really realize how big Sammy is until Jim reaches down and rubs his back and you get a comparison, so it would be amazing to see how much bigger Ben is by comparison to Sammy! The camera really doesn't do it justice. I hope the skinny guys get a bit more weight on them before winter sets in. Have a blessed night brother.

You're right. You got to let nature take its course. Woody will tend to his paw himself by licking it clean through saliva that works like medicine. Try not to worry about what others are saying. Their just being cruel and don't have a clue about what they're saying. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. They seem to calm me and put my mind at ease. I look forward to viewing them each and every day. Thanks from North Carolina!

[@melvawages7143]

I saw a DoDo video of a woman who started feeding a one eyed raccoon who looked very rough when she first showed up in her yard. The woman figured she needed help. Not long after that she brought her baby with her and now the baby has a baby lol and brings it to her. Anyway, I guess this woman is going to be like you Jim. She said the one eye raccoon has been coming for 2 years now and she now looks very healthy.

You had a good gang tonight. Mob season has started. They’re all getting ready for winter. The feral cat colony I assist with they get the same thing Woody got. Their body’s own healing process will take care of things like that. Wow 10 pounds of hotdogs.. that’s a lot. Little fellow knows that he can come and get his little body ready for winter. Where is Crabbie lately? Did she move on? Thanks for the video Jim! Angie N Atlanta

[@missykim510]

LOL Look how fluffy they're getting! They look like marshmallows. Adorable. Some years ago, I used to have a Persian cat. I was required to brush her every day or she would get the biggest mats ever! They first year, I didn't understand just how much brushing she needed. Once I got all the mats off her, she looked like Gollum :( After that, I tried many different kinds of pet brushes. The tool I found that worked the best was a metal flea comb. The small teeth on the comb were able to remove all the dense undercoat, which is where all the mats originated from.
