 |  |  |
| The infant raccoon fits into the palm of the human hand. At this stage, they reveal their relationship to the dog, as distant cousins. Their little tummies and their digestion are delicate, and they don't adapt to changes in formula will. | Although they will continue to suckle, raccoon add solids when they are three months old. At which time, they become omnivores. They eat many of the same things that you like to eat. | A raccoon may continue to nurse for almost six months. Most of the infants raised at Wild - n - Wooly have a fondness for fig bars. Here one develops the skills it will need in the wild as it sneaks up on it quarry and stalks the wild cookie. |

| Most people think raccoons are clean animals, but they're not. They are very tactile animals. Here one spills some water to make mud. They like the feel of it, and will play in it for hours. | Slow to develop, the young raccoon stays with its mother for up to a year. This means they must be kept at the rehabilitation facility over winter. | Spring comes eventually and freedom comes too. This raccoon was released on a farm where the owner agreed to watch over it, and if it fell on hard times to feed it. |
