Meet Rico my pet raccoon. We rescued him when he was just a few weeks old and bottle fed him. He is now my pet raccoon and is 8 years old! I know raccoons are cute, but they are not made for captivity. Rico could not be released, but if you come across a baby racoon take it to a rehabber!

So adorable! Rico is lucky to have found a loving forever home with your family. 💖💖
It's all fun and games until you find out the racoon has rebuilt your car into a starfighter with blasters & torpedoes and takes it out for a strafing run at the dogs next door.
Well done on rescuing him he's soooooooo cute.
Amazingly beautiful animals 💚
When I was 10 years old I had a Raccoon, hes was so fun as a pet , I also found him when he was few days old , one thing he didn't like dead fish but he ate the fish in the pond . the only Problem he was very protected with me and I was the only one able to touch him.
I’m the proud owner of a cinnamon raccoon. He is my profile pic.
I had a hurt raccoon live on my deck for a few days while he was healing. He would see when the dogs got fed and ask to be fed as well. We told him he could stay until he was better and a week later he left. I see him around the hood every now and again.
I need a pet racoon lol
You are that dude who had a Hedgehog , right ? 😊
Name him "Rocket"!
Your videos are so good. Rico seems so nice and fun to be around! If I had a raccoon I would name it rocket ;)
Mine would be named daddy trump
That’s so original 🙄 did you come up with that all on your own!? 🙄
As much as I love raccoons and enjoy the idea of owning one, I know that they are way too high maintenance for me. I think I'd rather just admire them from afar. 😅
Yeah u would. Because I have a raccoon because they get on counters and get into all ur stuff
❤❤❤❤😂
Yes, it's like having a 2 yr old. They get into everything, climb everything and break your things. They take over your life, unlike dogs or cats. Plus, they play very rough and you get scratched and bitten because they think it's play. Mine like to pull on my hair and steal my scrunchies🦝they are sweet a lot but still a handful!
he's so cute 🥺🥰🥰🥰
What an awesome pet and awesome video! People who love animals and treat them well are the best! You will be rewarded one day more than you can ever imagine!!!!
I love raccoons 🦝 so much I am jealous! It said what happened to him with his mom but he is so cute.
So cute!!!❤
So much info, thanks for making this video! I always wondered what it was like to have a raccoon as a pet. I see what you mean, not like a cat or a dog, and he definitely looks very spiffy and vivacious XD I love how they look!
Omg he's gorgeous
Hiiiiii your such an inspiration and first I love your channel❤️🐎🐴🏇❤️
Rico is handsome ❤, I raised 3 raccoons the favorite treat was marshmallows.
The raccoons I feed love chicken and they love French fries and they love vanilla wafers or fig Newtons Their favorite chicken is like pieces of chicken strips like the breaded chicken strips or chicken nuggets They love everything I love Birds of a feather flock together LO love your pet raccoon he looks very well taken care of I hope you have many years of fun with him. By the way a couple of my raccoons that I feed they're not mine but I go and feed them where they are in the woods I stay in my car and I throw the food to them and I call them and they come out and one of my names Bubba And another one rocky And mama and they know their names and when I call them they come out and the ones that don't have names I call little baby little baby and they come running out of the woods for me to feed them and they're afraid of everybody else but me it's really funny And when they hear a loud noise they run and I tell him come back come back little baby little baby it's Then they come back it's really cuthey are my true friends lol Some of them fight over their food and some don't I have to tell them now let him get some leave him alone and they look at me like yeah OK all right lol
Ahhh Rico is so so cute
If I'm having a bad day I always feel much better for watching an animal video. Therefore thanks for improving my day.
Aww, he’s so cute
You're so lucky I love them so much.
Cheese may cause allergic reactions. He is absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
Wow? Merci beaucoup !
Ahhh I love him!!
I have a baby raccoon that has bonded to me , do they like other people or are they territorial?
Can you make a video on how you've raccoon proofed your house? 😆 i would totally watch that! There isn't a lot of raccoon owners out there.
I second that
Ok very easy put EVERYTHING up and childproof all cabinets
I've been a rehabber for years and have had several that were deemed non releasable so I've provided a safe healthy and loving home for them. Raccoons are my passion but I'll be the first to tell anyone that they DON'T make good pets. Raccoon proofing a house is an ongoing process. Sometimes day to day things have to be secured or adjusted. I have a cordless screwdriver and screws on my counter at all times. The list is quite long on things I've done to my house. Here's some of them. All of the heating vent covers we screwed to the wall for the floor. All of the electrical outlets have to have safety covers over them. TV has to be mounted to the wall. Lamps have to be secured to the tables. All the water faucets have locks on them. The stove in the oven knobs have to be removed. Cabinets and drawers must have locks. Refrigerator freezer must be locked. All of my electrical cords are run through PVC pipe so they can't chew on them. I have quarter inch thick plexiglass 4-foot high from the floor up screwed to the wall so they can't eat through the drywall or try to climb the walls. The list goes on and on. Raccoons as a rule can't be left alone in your house. It's a pretty good chance that you'll be calling your insurance agent LOL
@@RonsRaccoonFunHouse thank you for this Wonderful, extensive description Ron! Thats so helpful, why do You choose to have them? And how do you cope with going to work and visiting relitives and going out to pay bills/grocery shop ect ect if you dont mind lending me some more of your time
He looks so happy.
“He loves stæk” 😆
He’s so cute I love him❤❤❤
He's so cute 🐾🦝😍and so are you, I loves raccoons they is my spirit animal
Best raccoons are obese ones.
That’s a good name 😊
Germans call them Waschbär which literally means "Wash bear". I love that.
Try treating him to a marshmallow now and then !! They love them !
Your raccoon is so cute! ❤ in less than two weeks I'm getting a raccoon I want mine blonde but I don't realy care what color
So curious about where he sleeps!?
Wild that cool
I want one so bad!!!!!
Какой же он милашка❤❤❤❤❤
Do you live in a state that allows this? Wish we did. We did rescue a very young raccoon last year, but now lives on its own because it is illegal in our state. We might still have it if it wasn’t.
Sure wish we had a vet that was willing to give shots to and neuter raccoons. I am in Canada. And while most of the wildlife rules don't necessarily care if you keep one as a pet, they won't treat them or give shots or neuter Oh and by the way, 8 is not old for a raccoon in captivity. In the wild they only like around 3 years, but it captivity with the proper care, they can live to 20 years old
He's cool!!!
😂😍
Im glad you brought up that disgusting video those people uploaded of the raccoon washing his cotton candy.. they knew what would happen, they're monsters
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Healthy boi!
Rico is cute, i agree, they arent like cats or dogs, they are raccoons lol
I have a question. I want a pet racoon but id want it outisde year round. How can i keep it warm during the negatives outside?
He is so cute, I bet it demands lots of attention and this may be an issue for some folks.
yes! i don't recommend them as pets :)
My coon is extra picky she likes eggs milk goldfish and rice crispy treats..,no meat ,no fruit no veggies
I got a pet raccoon recently do you have any tips on the rough playing?
Aren't goldfish seafood?
Make a video feeding him Dominos
Isnt it a wild animal ?
Is this safe? It’s a wild animal that can turn on you at any notice and inflict some pretty serious damage
Real goldfish? As in swimming in fish bowl goldfish?
Goldfish crackers
What’s the raccoons name
Please don't get bitten, okay
