"Hopitus2" dumped this in
on 13 May 2004: It's the raccoon you oughta be wary of.....above does not go for raccoons. Frequently in our area rabid ones are found, after biting dogs Raccoons can also carry the feline parvo virus, Panleukopenia. -- Cheryl

No, I don't have a clue why anyone would *want* a raccoon for a pet. It's kind of wrong, IMO. Sherry Hi Sherry! A cousin of mine rescued a baby racoon and kept it for a pet for a short time. That ended when one night she was sound asleep and the racoon kit climbed up on the bed and bit her on her left nipple. She awoke with a scream, and the next day they found a rehabber to take the kit. Patti Keeping a rescued wild animal for a while is fine...we kept a squirrel for a short time once and enjoyed her immensely. But the person I'm talkinga bout raises coons and sells them, she has a wildlife breeder license and even has a possum in the house. I don't think that's right. I'm afraid the people who buy from her are buying the babies to train coon dogs with :-( She says no, but honestly, how many people buy raccoons for pets? I just can't believe the market is that big. Same person also has a declawed bobcat in the house. Yes, declawed. Grrrrr. IMO, the vet shoulda lost his license over that. Rant is over. Sherry

Did you know raccoons hiss like cats? Found that out when my grandfather trapped one in his back yard. So do oppossums, showing a wicked set of teeth. I have a cousin with a couple of pet raccoons though, and I've never seen them hiss. She handles them just like we handle our cats. No, I don't have a clue why anyone would *want* a raccoon for a pet. Not if you want an animal that's even *more* designed and hard-wired to investigate everything, and completely destroy your house.
