Ha! Some friend of my father's found two tiny raccoon kits while out in
the woods. Their mother was dead. He brought the kits to my father, who
bottle-raised them and built a substantial indoor-outdoor pen for them
at his store. They were pets for a number of years, and then spent their
retirement being spoiled at a petting zoo. The pair were terrific pets.
I used to take them on leashes to the beach, where they'd cavort on the
sandbars and in the little water channels that would form between them
at low tide. They were both house-broken, by the way. Never bit anyone.

One of our near-neighbors has an indoor pet fox. Great little pet.


So are the ones you are feeding in the yard pets, or are
they wild animals?

Whether you like it or not, agree or not, it has an idiotic
thing to do. It is harmful to the animals and risky for you.
