You're Telling Me This Isn't a Hollow Tree? | Mother Raccoon Lives In A Chimney

A mother raccoon decided to give birth to her babies at the bottom of a chimney. Chimney's resemble hallow trees and make for the perfect den for a mother racoon and her babies.
Watch how we humanely grab the babies and remove the mother raccoon from the chimney.

[@iseeflowers]

She might be checking out her second den first making sure it is habitable before she grabs her babies.

It’s like momma is saying “you’ll babysit those noisy little ones for awhile so I can get some much needed rest.” 😂🤣😂

[@DallySkyeAnims]

Gotta love the random snowfall in April of all months. Great work you've done for keeping the aninals out humanely!

[@madelaineseguin1490]

That mama is so cautious. ❤

[@alisiabakerjb]

Man you made that box so comfortable with the heat and all, I swore you were going to come back and see the mother and children all chilling in there.

I really love what you and your dad do. Thank You ☺️

[@jdm44456]

Do they ever transfer babies to another house and you get called out again to remove the same family ?

[@deborahtucker3964]

I wondered about that, also.

[@tubester4567]

@@joaobarbosa2536 Sometimes they break in under the eaves and get into the roof. Or they lift a roof tile to get in. They are very sneaky.

Those raccoons crawling around are probably the best chimney sweeps u can find they even dig out all the creosote with their little claws and brush it with their fur I mean perfect 👌🏻🙏🏻

[@sallyaltick]

Awesome job guys, but what happened to the 4th baby?

[@frank3615]

I was wondering the same thing. I thought when they opened the hatch they may have severely injured it.... it looked stuck in there

[@RaccoonNation]

@@frank3615 was that the one at 3:03 omg I just want to throw my full body raccoon jumpsuit on and nurse this lil guy back to health 🥺💕🦝

In the video I saw a perfect open Chimney just next door for the mothers to move the baby racoons into. Looked real Cozy and open. Perfect location to set up a little place for her new family!

[@nadiarepich5199]

Thanks to the owners of the house who did the right thing honoring these precious lives. Poor scared Mom & the one scared baby shrieking with his tiny tongue showing. Other companies kill them in most horrendous manners--the most economical--& there is *no* such thing as humanely killing a healthy sentient being that wants to live just as much as you or me. Under the current laws & circumstances, this company does a perfect job each time.

[@trekabe9745]

What's the largest raccoon litter yall have had to move? How big can the litter get? Really love ur vids

Hi ! Iam Ali , from Belgium , Europe . I suscribe and share and support your channel . I find it very interessant and educative for everyone . The message is to respect and love all animals ! The girl we see with probably father is charmante ! Thanks for your reply !

[@pennyduncan5980]

Thx you

[@user-cq1go7io2b]

They need to pass a law to protect these poor mothers. When building a new house, provide a compartment for wildlife. Since we are taking their homes and every inch of their natural habitat, houses must have natural habitat houses built in either on the roof or somewhere.

[@tonecamp565]

Mom like it’s to cold for this today guys 🦝🤦🏽‍♂️🙏🏽

[@Gp39454]

The woman on here who catches the raccoons 🦝 is so beautiful in the snow 😍

[@karenhorton2345]

I used to have those white sheets with blue flowers😊

[@allhopeabandon7831]

I used to chase the Raccoons of my porch early in the morning, I'd put a extendable broom handle out the siding glass door smack in beside them ir push them with the end...then, one morning, I just watched them for a few mins and now I put leftovers out for them. It's better than a landfill or going down the drain and they leave my bird feeders alone (why they started coming). I hope I don't get the Hot Dog Man type crowd coming in...the most I've seen together was 3.

[@chickengeorge9162]

You work so hard and dangerous work with ladders. St Francis is watching over you.

omg it's snow there!

[@skaysyndromes8735]

Wasn't that home too open for her babies though. Wouldn't it be really cold in the winters?

[@saltodelpuma1667]

I came here because I like raccoons....they're annoying but so are many humans, and boy they are smart and fast learners which is a must to survive among us....invading humans. The girl is cute too.😁

So don’t they need feeding ? They seem so scared

Relocating, where? All trees are gone! Poor animals. Its not your fault.

[@elpato54]

Did anyone else think they were gonna run that stop sign at 00:10? They made a full stop. Nice! Yes I know it's random.

[@Anno_Nymouse]

Is it common in the US to have stop signs in this visible street crossing? Wouldn't be a yield sign totally fine?

[@elpato54]

@@Anno_Nymouse no, US would have crosswalks there which you are “expected” to stop for. So same idea, but not necessarily a “yield” sign.

[@jo-vf8jx]

Did you not listen to what she said? She said it was a freak snow fall and that within the next day or two it would reach 15C which is 59F. Not only that, but animals are born outside in all types of temperatures. Raccoons are resilient animals and I have no doubt that she found another place for them.
