They truly are. They are smart, they are curious, and they're very sweet (unless you're abusing them). They jump up onto our laps on the deck so they can explore what's on the table. They know us and recognize us, and we know and recognize them. The relationship we have with the raccoons is totally different from the relationships we have with the other critters.

They're very smart, too. A Neighbor used to leave her garage doors slightly open, and fall asleep. Raccoons would go thru them to the back of the property thru her place. She moved. One night we thought someone was knocking at our front door. We opened the door, and a family of raccoons were on the steps growling and hissing as tho' asking WHY the neighbors doors were shut. 😊 Funny creatures. Thanks for showing us what they do in their nest.

What an experience! The baby raccoons are the sweetest things, but they often forget how sharp their teeth and claws are. When they get older, we find that they're much more gentle - they get better at understanding how to deal with humans without hurting us.

We have security cameras set up all over our property so that we can watch the wildlife. We created this den out of a huge hollow log and put a camera in it when we were setting it up. The raccoons and foxes constantly explore everything - they're extraordinary - and we knew it wouldn't take long for them to figure out that the log was hollow and would make a safe, dry home. We were delighted when the raccoon family moved in. They were such fun to watch. None of the animals seem to be bothered by the cameras, although they do lick them from time to time which somewhat spoils the video!

Where did she have her babies that she had to move them?

We don't know where the babies were born. Aren't they beautiful, though? The raccoons and the foxes move their families quite frequently. Maybe the fleas get bad after a while? We had a fox family here last year who moved from den to den almost every day. They had itchy little fox feet.

@@TexasBackyardWildlife This behaviour is common in meerkat families too. Supposedly, it helps them to avoid large predators. Fleas and ticks is a good hypothesis too. My guess, it is both and maybe something else.

I want to talk about the “jackhammer” behavior as the raccoon kits were nursing.....this is a very common mammalian nursing behavior! Some may hammer really hard (lambs, kids [goats], foals, deer, calves, and raccoons, etc) and kittens and puppies (domestic and wild) push and scratch as they nurse. Why?? _Because they’ve drained that breast and they want more milk!!_ When the babies, push, claw, or hammer, more milk production is stimulated, and they get to keep filling those bellies! When they were infants, my sons actually pushed against me from time to time when they were nursing, but they did NOT jackhammer, lol!

I grew up on a sheep farm and the lambs would almost punch the ewes when they were nursing - it looked painful sometimes. The baby raccoons amuse us because it's such a rapid movement - they look like little road construction workers.

Baby raccoons are the best. I love the little chittering noises they make, and "purring" is a good description, too. They can produce quite a range of different sounds.

It's a mixture of both, really. In this case, a neighbor gave us the hollow log and we set it up with a camera inside, a little light, and another camera outside. Most of the time we're just putting cameras along busy trails and in or around natural dens, but some of the dens and all of the bird boxes were made by us.

I don't remember now to be honest. 4 or 5 hours, though, probably. When the babies are really small the mama won't take them with her. By this time of year they're quite big and they're all running around after their mamas now. They are extremely cute.

Yes, kits (though "cubs" apparently is also used). Fox pups are definitely kits, but in both cases we chose the more common term because we wondered if everyone would be familiar with "kits"?
