I think if you wanted to train a raccoon you’d be better off starting with a baby one and hand raising it
But where’s the fun in that?
I wouldn’t presume on my friendship with a raccoon by putting a leash on one.
Unless they’re into that sort of thing.
Ecstatic consent is clutch.
Bruh you can probably train them off leash. Just start very young and don’t get bit.
Generally what I’ve heard is that raccoons are very sweet and docile when young. They turn problematic as pets as they age.
My dad feeds raccoons every night and they’re basically just like any other animal. They like having food and some company. I’ve gotten down on the ground with them before as they took a cookie from my hand and ate it. There’s times we joke about how they act exactly like our dog when they see anyone in the kitchen and think they’re about to get some food.
They turn problematic as pets as they age.
I feel personally attacked.
I’ve read the same. They are very smart and will get into all kinds of trouble.
That’s probably just about any mammal.
I bet a polar bear cub makes an amazing pet for … at least some small window of time
Patience and food.
What are the proletariat?
edit: my bad; misread that as “patients”.
