Raccoon Real Estate: Mama Raccoon's Heartwarming Move!

Gates Wildlife stepped in to compassionately resolve a delicate situation involving a mother raccoon and her babies in a homeowner's attic. Despite the homeowner's attempt to handle the issue independently with a one-way door, the resourceful raccoon outsmarted the setup. It's a reminder of the risks associated with DIY wildlife control, as success could have separated the mother from her babies if she had been locked out while they were inside. Understanding the situation, Gates Wildlife intervened to safely remove the babies from the attic while keeping the family united.
Recognizing the importance of maintaining the maternal bond, we allowed the mother raccoon to temporarily relocate to our heated reunion box for 1-2 weeks. After this heartwarming reunion period, she eventually decided to move her babies to another den site, demonstrating the significance of professional and humane wildlife management in ensuring the well-being of both animals and homeowners.

I’m sure she thought the box was a good alternative, cozy and warm. Then people started knocking on the door at all hours. She is a good little Mum.🖤🇨🇦

[@sharonbrown6595]

Haaaaaaaaa she was so cute eh ? I loved her so much.

[@sharonbrown6595]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaai. I love how she is peeking at them haaaaaaaaaaaa

13:02 I immediately realized that she had now decided to live there! Mom raccoon: Thank you for solving my housing problem!😂😂😂

[@soulstarmusiclover1254]

She’s just squeezed her big butt in the box with the babies..🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jjfaris]

Maybe she was a first time mom and didn’t have a second site set up and needed time to find something suitable. Fortunately for her she had “Gates “in her corner.👏 Thank you for sharing.

[@sharonbrown6595]

That’s true. She could be a new mom. But at least her babies r warm and toasty where they r for now. Good mom

[@kevsousa95]

I’m not shocked when they decide to live in the box. Maybe a bit cramped but I imagine the heater being nice and comforting. I’d stay in the box if I was her

[@Alsatiagent]

I think that as developed and well-treed the Greater Toronto Area is, it seems inevitable that racoons, in particular, will have an increasingly more difficult time finding new sites safe from predators.

[@anitahardesty2163]

Poor mamma didn't have a new home. You are amazing to let her stay in the box until she could find a new home and safely move the babies. ❤❤

[@smc130]

Whoa! Big surprise! Mom raccoon says thanks for the new place!

[@Marilyn12346]

Love the raccoon kits 🥰 Thanks Gates, for your efforts!

[@maggieslifeisawildride512]

Awe...I wondered if she was going to use the box for a while since she got all the way in right away.

[@MyAltdraco]

Poor mama, she just needed time to find a new spot! So good that you were able to give her space, and thankfully the homeowners attempt failed or that would have been a horrible fate for the babies. I am curious, how often does that happen where the mama doesn't have an alternate site in mind so decides to camp out in the box?

[@nadiarepich5199]

Premiere Gates Films Original anticipated to be a huge box-office hit.

Baby box-office

[@franfuentesfink8349]

Was so funny for some reason I too had a feeling she thought that was her new nesting home , she must have been a younger mother and maybe she really didn’t have a 2nd nest somewhere ?! She has a gorgeous face and the babies so sweet ❣️ I really enjoy watching all your adventures and tricks / tips and I always pray your safe❣️ Thank you

[@fknbastages]

She's one of the prettiest raccoons I've ever seen. He fur and colors were perfect.

[@dianeknight4839]

Cannot say I blame her, the box must have been a nice temporary den. Maybe she felt the babies needed to grow a little before she moved them, or she needed time to prepare another den site. They are such beautiful, intelligent and gentle creatures. We are not lucky enought to have them in the UK. If we did, I would build a nest box in one of my trees and have supplemental food on hand for any nocturnal visitors just like my hedgehog and occasional fox that calls;

[@driggerfireon5760]

You guys are amazing in how understanding, patient and kind to wild life

[@312countrygirl]

Glad to read that Momma finally realized that she needed to relocate her kids.

[@delgadogarces]

God bless you for your work!!!!

[@beautifulsurprise9424]

I have always wondered why they didn't just stay in the box. Especially the ones that only had one or two babies and therefore more room inside the box. This is the first time that I think it was actually done.

[@nadiarepich5199]

If I were the homeowner, I would have purchased the box & allow her to leave in a few weeks. 😢😢😢

[@haggielady]

I always look forward to a new video from you!

[@lukeknowles5700]

The mom who wouldn't leave the heated box. Each episode is unique.

[@sharonbrown6595]

She thanked gates company for the free rent for a bit. Good for her taking her time to get a good home for those cute babies. All moms every animal moms r different

[@uzonweke9699]

Next den, aka someone's else attic 😂

[@iAnasazi]

[@melleetoo]

These videos are great. Wish we had them more often. Thank you.

[@KrusherMike]

I find these guys pretty often. Please don't leave glue traps in your attics, folks. That being said, baby oil gets them off a sticky trap with no harm done. Also, in Texas they sometimes travel in pairs. One distracts you and the other tries to beat you up while you try to not fall through the ceiling. Watch your six, boys. They're clever.

[@beautifulsurprise9424]

Cassandra really wants to make sure the audience gets the full view of everything and I appreciate that so much but I am always worried that the mothers will try and attack her. I'm screaming get the babies and get out!! But I do love seeing them.

[@sharonbrown6595]

I can’t get over just how cute raccoons r with their masks. So darn cute

[@m1klatt]

That was very kind to give her some time to move out.

[@mrBDeye]

The mom racoon got free government housing. Not easy to evict her now.

[@RED-cy7ig]

Wow she thought you gave her a new home.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- 13:35 Her poor other baby that she relocated must be starving omgosh. 😭 😢😢😢

[@zerofox7347]

It must be so scary for the mom when she sees her baby’s taken 😢 I know it works out in the end but still a sad scene.

[@dianesaienni5466]

if I were her I would stay in the box as well.

[@johnpinckney4979]

Looking forward to your next release. Have you ever had a "second encounter" with wildlife you previously "arranged" relocation for?

[@LocatedGoose]

what kind of heater do you put in the box?

[@ronwayne9377]

It's a heating pad under a false floor. They did a video a while back about the baby box. You should be able to find in their list of videos.

[@nadiarepich5199]

Very sad eviction story.

[@yamecamjackson4418]

Sad for the Coons who are made to adapt. Gates is on of the kindest ever. They are very expensive! Disease, some kill animals, babies, serious death of they have rabies if not treated death, Expenses that they also have to pay for

Noice!❤

[@reginaromsey]

What about the baby she already took away?

[@katherineozbirn6426]

I assume the mom leaves the box. How is she doing??

When your landlord wants you out so they disconnect the power.

[@Nature-brother.s]

Hey do you guys operate near Ashley MI?

[@reginaromsey]

Maybe she is a new mom and just confused about finding a new home for herself and the babies!

[@lordhoho1]

Young lady slipped up and said the mother will take them to a new house. Then they can remove them again

[@bamachic3084]

I’m a Renter. I noticed Raccoons in my attic. Instead of my Landlord sending Pest Control to remove them he came over tossed some rodent killer inside the attic and sealed up their entrance hole.. Is that okay?

[@nadiarepich5199]

Would that be okay if it was done to you? Is that okay if you were given poison without you knowing while in a prison with no escape? The question you ask reveals a catastrophic moral & empathic disconnect. That's moral truth.

[@yamecamjackson4418]

​@@nadiarepich5199she just asked a question! Not everyone has the ability to afford calling pest control. Not everyone look at it the same. As a human being of course it's not ok if someone did it to her! Those things carry so many diseases and cost a lot of damage to people homes. Maybe the state they live in doesn't allow relocation. I live in Louisiana I have seen so much damage they cause to people, pets and homes. I myself don't like them at all I would care for a alligator or a bear before a raccoon. Leave her alone Big Bully. Is it ok if someone post that you are a despicable human being saying this stuff!

​@@nadiarepich5199another thing I don't understand about you so called animal lovers if you are a vegetarian than you can judge! What about the Fish, Chicken, Steak and other living things.

[@egyptcree7298]

​@yamecamjackson4418 society has gone absolutely INSANE the way they value an animal's life over humans' lives now🤨!! Of course , we should love animals just as much, because God put them here on earth for us HUMANS to love, cherish, and take care of them!! But we're NOT supposed to put animals before humans, NEVER😡!! It's a shame that a person can purpeously unalive another person and will only receive a maximum of 10 years in prison depending on the severity of the crime and the court's jurisdiction, and how their laws are set up!! Now let a person unalive a police K-9 dog or a bald eagle, they'll try to burn that person at the stake and give them a life sentence without parole😠!! This system is so backward, biast, unfair, and corrupt!! It's ludacris!!😔
