He keeps climbing to my shoulder and cooing.
About the size of a US men's 12 shoe.
Giving big hugs.

I had a pet raccoon before, he used to follow me around the house and just climb up onto my shoulder, he would cry if he got left alone too.

Fixed it. OP blocked banana.

They are soo cute! If they only would not become so utterly destructive when they get older...
IckyLilBickyJahJahandWill
I used to rehab baby raccoons through a vet clinic, awesome experience and the cooing is ADORABLE
ShamrockFury
Raccoon don't coo, they aren't pigeons. They grumble.
insectman
What does the raccoon say?
Coonninja
Bubby, they grumble, they coo, they do it all.

Oh my God I had a baby raccoon too! The problem with mine is that even though I had it as a baby it was still too wild to keep as a pet.
NotReallyJustKiddingIfOffendingAndNotACompliment
They are fun until they want to talk with you about your rubbish.

Don't let it in your house, they destroy everything.

it's a raabiees raccoon it's a rabies raccoon it's a raabiees raccoon it's a rabies raccoon... To the tune of Weebl's Baby Baboon.

Dont touch its poop

I love these superhero origin stories.

Go get some large glass marbles. Big enough that he can't swallow them. Little magpies, raccoons are... so cute.
KierCalhen
To all who are saying the raccoon will become mean and have rabies: You have no idea how to take care of and domesticate an animal, do you?
trippedoutkitty
You don't domesticate a raccoon. -_- I have one.
Coonninja
I've got one, he's a sweetpea and a coward of the highest order. Of course, every personality is different. Did you get a demon? :D
CyberAkuma
You have no idea the difference between taming and domestication do you?
FastandBiCurious
I don't know anything about that stuff, but what about their natural instincts?
trippedoutkitty
As someone who owns a raccoon... Do the responsible thing and take it to a wild life sanctuary or a wildlife rehabilitation facility.
trippedoutkitty
I love my raccoon and her very rare sweet moments but I wish I would have given her up because now she cannot be turned loose.
trippedoutkitty
Not to mention the hoops I had to jump through to obtain proper permits to legally own mine. Good luck with that
sphincterstretcher
why haven't you given yours up to a wildlife rehab?
Coonninja
There are hundreds who are unsuitable for release each year. They are also sold by breeders as 'pets'.
Coonninja
Mine had juvenile cataracts and is vision impaired. So that's why he didn't go to rehab.
trippedoutkitty
Well, because I know it would be much harder on her. She would be kept in a cage for the rest of her life or euthanized at this point 1\2
trippedoutkitty
My home is her "territory" and I don't want to put that stress on her. I've accepted what I've created. I deal with the consequences
trippedoutkitty
Seriously... do the right thing. Nurture does not overcome nature.
KlassikalStuff
Ugh +10000 I did rehab and release on a squirrel. Man the first couple months is great but then nature kicks in. :c
trippedoutkitty
I did wildlife rehabilitation myself and forfeited my licensing to do so when I no longer had the proper facilities.
LosPer
This needs to be higher up in the post...
trippedoutkitty
It will be sweet for the first two years and then it comes to a point where they just destroy everything. It's like having a toddler that...

Somewhere in the black mines in the hills of Dakota there lives a young boy called Rocky Raccoon...

So one day he walked into town and booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky had come, equipped with a gun, to shoot off the legs of his rival...

They are cute but when they are adults they can rip your damn face off. Dem claws are legit.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
We had one in the house for 2 days before releasing it. That fucker got into everything and ate/chewed anything he could.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
Backstory: someone had kept it as a pet, which is illegal. It was young enough to be released into the wild but had to find a good (1)
craz3d
I've had 2 black labs since puppy time. Coons are barely worse, but worse. Grew up in area with Coons. Crazy.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
(2) Spot to release him, so we agreed to keep him for a few days til a good area could be found. Messy creatures....
thatgirlnoonetalksto
you could get the little claw covers on them and then they'd just be fabulous.
Coonninja
I have those soft paws things? I did ask our coon to try them out, very nicely. He said no. :/

As long as you have the gland that makes them violent as adults removed they are fine to keep.
trippedoutkitty
There is no gland like that... you're an idiot.

I think he is talking about its nuts.
kazzy08
Can confirm. One tried to eat my face. She was captive born and raised...
Coonninja
What did you do to provoke that reaction?
kazzy08
Nothing really. She was reaching breeding age so her hormones were going crazy. I shouldn't have held her at that time.
