Well Saturday's are never boring at the Autogeek warehouse. We have three Raccoons that appear to have lost their mom. They have been hanging around our warehouse all week, looking for food. They will come right up to you so they know no fear!
Funny thing is today one came up and put his paws on my door, so I opened it and he did not run.... He played in the dirt looking for a creature to eat and then went and hung out in the tree right outside my door.
Not ten minutes later we had some birds parading down the building... ahh the city life!:D

Cute!

They are just little guys...I think there mom lives at our house.Im the MAN
 
I can already imagine commercial:

"Fuzion - Even raccoons know the good stuff when they see it!"

LOL
 
Just remember rabbies shots are not very fun ... stand back as possible and allow them space.
 
Meghan, you won't think they're so cute when they decide to make a home in your soffets and/or attic...little b@$t@ge$.
 
They're just babies! If you want them to be gone get a Havahart trap and transport them at least five miles to a park or preserve. They'll do fine.

They are not bothering us, so we will probably just leave them. We have woods around us that I think they take off to for the nights. They just come visit us during the day.
 
leave a tub of souveran out there and see if they eat it.:D:joking:
 
It's so funny seeing them run past my office everyday. One was checking out my car Friday...they almost look like little monkeys since their bodies are so tiny and their arms are so long, lol.
 
I think you guys should make them pets, they look like they could be fun. But I agree I would def. get them vaccinated if you want to bring em inside to guard the fuzion.
 
Gah! They're pests you guys...shoot 'em or have Animal Services get them outta there. You're gonna hate 'em when they grow up! They'll find a way into the warehouse and will tear up everything.

I tend to agree. This little guy showed up last year, wet and alone. Felt sorry for him and fed him. He now is around all the time and has torn his way into our screened in porch to get into a galvanized pail we use for bird food. Now have to keep it in the house. They don't forget where they found food and will find a way in.

Curious little guys. They like to wash their food so how about a 5 gallon bucket with grit guard, lol.
 
They are cute little guys but like already mentioned-they can become a PITA. We have been having a problem with one getting in our trash can. Its the biggest raccoon I have ever seen and when we open the door to yell and scare it away-it just looks at us like we are crazy. It has no fear which concerns me(rabies). We brought the trash cans inside tonight hoping it will move on.
 
It's pretty amazing how wild animals are getting acclimated to humans being near them.

2 days ago, a doe birthed a new fawn at my fence (I have a creek at the back of my property). This was in spite of having a Lab and Pitbull around the yard. She knew they would not jump the fence so it was safe.

Year's ago I had a raccoon rip some wood shingles off the roof of my house and make a nest in my attic insulation...she was ready to give birth to a litter. That would have been a mess. Animal control got her out of there before that happened. Raccoons can be super destructive to property.
