An update on Gertie (?)
I posted a few days ago about this sweet Raccoon who’s been a regular visitor for several weeks. She (?) has been living under the deck and though usually I only see her but sometimes one or 2 other Raccoons. I’ve been assuming Gertie is a female based on her size & also figured she is pregnant as her behavior would suggest she’s staking a shelter for her babies. Occasionally I hear chittering and carousing under the deck but I don’t know if the other Raccoons have taken up residence.
WELL…Last night was…*interesting*. When I went outside to take the feeders in, I heard some “activity* at the far end of my deck, right outside my bedroom door (full length glass). I saw 2 sets of eyes & decided to see what was going on. Grabbed a flashlight and yep, Valentine’s Eve came early (lol). It was quite a commotion & it went on for a *long* time. I decided to have a look to see if Gertie indeed is the female. I felt very ick seeing what should be a private time but I thought for sure I’d be certain it was Gertie “on the bottom”.
Welp, I’m not certain now! Can anyone shed light on how females behave in terms of friendliness & nesting? I still do think Gertie’s a girl, but not 100% sure.
TO NOTE: This morning Gertie popped up as usual looking to be fed. She seemed to be dealing with some discomfort (!) due to how she was ambulating & she grabbed at her hind legs a bit.
Anyhow, sorry for the long post! I hope y’all can offer thoughts on this!

Question regarding my new pal and safety
Over the past several days Gertie has become quite comfortable with me now that I’m feeding her regularly. Since yesterday. When she seems me outside, she starts gingerly walking up to me. As tame as she seems, she’s a wild animal & I can’t predict what she’ll do if I just stand there & let her come & make contact with me. Any advice on how to proceed? She’s so sweet but I know I need to be really careful. TIA!

Safely relocating raccoons?
Have some problem raccoons on my property and am considering live trapping them in the Havahart cage style traps. Couple questions come to mind.
1) is relocating them humane? I know some animals suffer severely when removed from their home environment. I know this can be true of social/hierarchical animals too, not sure if this applies to raccoons?
2) what is a safe distance to relocate to assure they won’t come back?

I'm so sad
My F1 I rescued and bottled feed has finally grown up and wants nothing to do with me 😔. We all know it happens but the night I see him limping and still won't come makes my heart sink, I'm so worried and there's predators around. I hate it I want to hide him from the world but that's no life. Idk what to do for him, I just want to make sure it's not life threatening.
