I have had the raccoons two weeks now. The first week was a little hectic with our visitors here. Now we are settling into a routine, and they seem to be doing very well. One thing that has helped out a lot is they are only eating three times a day. The boy, Rocco, drinks almost a whole bottle twice a day. Usually the third bottle he doesn’t eat hardly at all. The two girls, Venus de Milo and Zulu are much smaller and eat about a third of a bottle three times a day. VdM eats more sometimes than Zulu. The other big event that happened this week was I moved them to the playhouse. Raccoons have a smell like a ferret, and they are STINKY! So, I was very happy to get them moved outdoors!! I also gave them worming medicine since they carry a variety of worms that can be very dangerous to humans. I am hoping to get the distemper shots in them this week so they can be moved out to the big cage—which will present one last problem—what to do with the ducks! |
