Most people, when they think of getting a pet, will naturally think of a dog or a cat. But other people think that perhaps a bird or hamster or even a turtle will make an excellent pet. Yet, there are some that are not satisfied with any of those options, and they will think outside the box and opt for a more unconventional pet – like raccoons.

Raccoons will eat just about anything! At dinner time, there are no empty seats around this table!

It is fine to offer the critters outside your home food, but bringing them in the house may just be a recipe for disaster. Raccoons can survive in the wild.
