Evicting raccoon from attic
My question is, can a raccoon who is humanely evicted from an attic (not trapped and released somewhere just forced to move out on its own) survive in the winter after eviction? The access point to the attic will be sealed afterward. Is there anything that can be done after the raccoon eviction to help it survive? Would it use a feral cat shelter for example? Would food left out encourage it to stick around and try to find a new access point to the attic?

A few years ago, we had a raccoon that thought it was one of our cats. The cats were fine with it.

Rabies question
Can I get rabies from touching something a raccoon bit? Specifically a raccoon bit open a pack of cigarettes last night and I cleaned it up. I didn’t touch my face but I touched my phone.

If you're going to feed the trash panda, please feed this instead of cake
Hey y'all,
I'm a wildlife rehabber in the US, doing my specialization in raccoon care, rehabilitation, & rerelease. I love trash pandas, obviously, and I love this sub, bc it's clear how many others love them! They're such great and good and grood ♥️🦝♥️✨
I've become pretty concerned lately, cuz of highly upvoted content of community members feeding raccoons processed human "food" -- cakes, cookies, & other high-sugar, high-fat, low-nutrient food items. These posts are getting a ton of attention & i think we're setting a dangerous precedent that does not support the animals we care about.
Raccoons *will* eat this food, for sure! They will enjoy it very much!! Like humans, their systems are wired to respond very positively to highly processed, (physiologically) addictive food products. But it is SO, so bad for them, y'all. It's unethical to feed them this crap, bc we humans actually know better, and can choose differently.
If you're going to disregard warnings and feed your local raccoons, please feed them this instead of literally whatever you think they'll enjoy:
* **Fresh water** \- not only are raccoons known for wetting their hands before eating (it sensitizes their hands, let's them feel things more accurately), but its rare to find plain fresh water! They will love you for it. A big bowl filled with water, with a heavy rock in it works well (otherwise they love to flip it over - and they love to try & life the rock out)
* **Dog kibble** for fiber
* **A protein source such as eggs** (cooked or raw), **peanuts** (shelled ones offer them a fun challenge and make a great "c r o n c h" sound), **cat kibble** (usually higher in protein than dog kibble), **cooked/unseasoned meat** (please no salt, no hot dogs, etc)
* **Fruits** they would encounter in your region, in the wild - **berries, pomes**, etc. (avoid citrus, they don't seem to like it)
* **GRAPES** (universal raccoon treat - they all make the same face - *nose to the sky* \- i call it "grape face" lol)
Note: grapes are very high in sugar - suggested to give sparingly as a treat
Soo yeah. I hope this helps folks in the community who are (unwisely) feeding their local raccoon friends.
P.S. raccoons are not "supposed to be fat." That is a myth borne from a misunderstanding about overwintering behaviors. Yes, in the wild, with no human interference, they put on weight before winter freezes. But they would never grow so heavy in the wild... Cake does not grow in the forest.
More importantly, if they're taking food from humans like you, it's extremely unlikely that they're gonna be overwintering in the first place. Raccoons in human-occupied areas do not really hibernate. They are evolving to be active all year round. That extra fat they're putting on is just damaging to their bodies. It does not keep them warm, the way it would a hibernating bear. It's more like when you see a really overweight dog: it's cuz humans have been interfering!
Please don't feed them junk food! They will absolutely eat it, and they do not know any better!
Please protect our trash panda frens!!
