They had been without Mom for a week, which is a very long time for babies to survive--it was amazing that any of them made it. At 2 weeks old, raccoon babies still have their eyes closed, depend on mama completely for warmth (they can't yet regulate their own body temperature) and respond mostly to touch--so they must've been very scared. They were cold and covered with soot, including inside their little tiny noses and mouths, and needed oxygen to make it through the night. After a nerve-racking week, they seemed out of immediate danger and continued to grow into two healthy girls. Perhaps because of their early traumatic ordeal, they became two of the most vocal raccoon babies we've seen--letting us know in no uncertain terms when they wanted to be fed or wanted attention! Maybe they were just so happy to be alive that they wanted to continually tell us about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1427611426300-M54I5QCODR7DMFCXXBF8/linus-and-charlie-brown-web.jpg Animals We've Saved - Peanuts baby raccoons These 4 raccoon babies were only about a month old when they were found with their dead mama in a dumpster in Fort Collins. The poor babies were hungry! We were concerned that they might have distemper because we weren't sure why Mama had died, but after quarantine, the babies were fine and they grew up to be big and healthy raccoons. They actually fit their names perfectly--Snoopy was the daredevil just like the Red Baron--he was the first to climb and first to explore everything! Poor Charlie Brown was always the one left behind--the last one to be fed and last one to get anything. And then there was Linus--the sweetest--and Sally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1597646547525-W8GSG2W4BETWB4JERRJD/Nadia+5x7.jpg Animals We've Saved - Nadia This raccoon surprised us by climbing out of her cage at a very young age. Carol had left the top open to heat up Nadia's formula and was shocked to find her on the floor exploring the world when she returned. Nadia continued to be quite the gymnast and at an older age, led her cage mates on a breakout at her soft release site. She led them back at night for food and we were able to replace the damaged cage roof and keep them a little while longer until they were ready to go into the wild world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1427611558047-CG4R1JS0FOEQP6YU4EM3/dumpling-eating-avocado-web.jpg Animals We've Saved - Dumpling baby squirrel Dumpling was so dehydrated that he barely moved when we got him. He was extremely lethargic so we hydrated him and rushed him to the vet. It was touch and go for a while, but we are happy to report that he pulled through. He loves avocado and asks for it when his bowl is empty! A very talkative guy, he seems to always be saying “where's my avocado?!”   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1427613476912-NZESQ4V9L55NMN8MB3TM/Kismet-in-kennel.jpg Animals We've Saved - Kismet baby raccoon Kismet was found in a fireplace crying and covered in soot. His mama had taken up residence in the chimney, and had moved the babies to another location. The homeowners thought that was the end of their raccoon visitors and were surprised a few days later to see this baby in their fireplace---they later figured that mama had likely been scared off by their dog and that’s why she didn’t come back for him. The poor baby was cold and hungry and probably wondering what happened to mama and his siblings. This was his first night with us and you can see he is still a little scared and wary. Luckily he made some coonie friends pretty quickly, warmed up to his temporary home in rehab, and grew to be a beautiful adult raccoon. http://wildoncemore.org/newsletter daily 0.75 2015-03-29 http://wildoncemore.org/thank-you-for-donation daily 0.75 2015-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1427615454404-L7FOIKBFB09BBBJNS7ZQ/smiling-coonie2-for-web.jpg Thank you for donation http://wildoncemore.org/landing daily 1.0 2025-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1427677378048-OO1KDZXEFAEN65O7D3C1/sally-raccoon2-web.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1427785226607-C000ROR2IKLC1MXN1MNX/praire-dog-standing-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1449822169123-5NYFG1AFCKBJ1AXTZBOB/marmot-looking-forward-16x6-web.jpg Home http://wildoncemore.org/what-we-do daily 0.75 2015-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54f126cce4b04ba2593802ce/1425109968780-EVOME7HMOMEQMXHMKTLN/coonie-in-tree.jpg What We Do
