I’ve heard stroller is funnier because everyone thinks it’s a baby
Yeah that was a perk too! Cause then we aren't calling to much attention to ourselves and the pets
Awwwww I forgot how cute they were💖💖🥰🥰💖🥰💖💖
thank you
Thank you for these videos. My family has been having a really hard time lately and your content brings me happiness. Thank you.
this is far more important than my homework
Felix is the low key star of this one.
Pet gear 3 in 1 360 stroller! No zippers! Snaps outside only. Seatbelts in. I have 1 and its roomy for a 25 pound cat to sit up in and lay down. Great for travel and vet visits. Check it out
thanks for the suggestion!! I'll definitely check it out
It would be so cute if you guys made a children's book about the raccoons and their animal friends
Everyone likes to walk , raccoons too ! 🍀🌿🍃🐾🐾
Awwww Piper is so cute and she’s your furbaby like Cheeto and Tito and she was adorable in the stroller
I love pet strollers. I used to pick up my daughter from her classroom and no one knew our Pomeranian Moggie was in it. My daughter loved when I picked her up and her best bud was waiting for her. also, hysterical funny when people would want to look inside to see the “baby” and there sat a spoiled dog. Lol. BTW, he refuses to walk on a leash. Tried everything. Nope. Stroller works better. 😆
The stroller looked the best. Training her for a harness would still be good as a second means of keeping her safe in case she does figure out how to get out of the stroller. Do you know anyone who may be able to design a Raccoon Harness? That may be interesting for other Raccoon Parents.
Yes we are definitely still going to work with her with the harness! And I dont think anyone would make a raccoon harness to sell only because there's not a big enough market for them
@@TitoTheRaccoon It's just an idea.
@@TitoTheRaccoon plus it can take several harnesses for the first year and a half due to their growth rate. We buy one that is big enough to go around their stomach and then we cut the front neck and leg portions down and re sew them. We like the click latches for ease of putting it on and off. Some require additional rear leg loops to keep them from squirming out. But as I said in the beginning, you need to start when they are babies, by the time they are 6 months old it’s almost too late to try to put one on them. Oh one last tip, the latches need to be on the top side/ not the belly side or they will just use their hands to undo them in a prompt manner
So cute, I love her cute little nose sticking out and the casual arm hanging out ❤️ she's cute in there.
I think backpack is really for smaller animals. Also if the sun is direct and strong, the plastic can get overheated.
Instructions unclear ~ my raccoon is now pushing me in a stroller
Very adaptable pet😂
I just love watching you two with your pets! I agree that the stroller was much better for Piper as the backpack looked a bit to confining for Piper. Love your videos !🦝
That backpack is definitely undersized for a big floofball raccoon
I watched another review that said the backpack got pretty warm because of the plastic window trapping heat inside.
That table though! 😲
3:08 I'm sorry, the cat pushing the stroller had me bursting into laughter. I had a feeling stroller would win this. It's got a lot of room and honestly the backpack I feel is good for some stuff, like just getting the cat from point a to point b. Like taking them to the vet or the pet store to get treats. Like it would be good for using a car and not use a huge carrier. For an actual walk the stroller is a much better idea as they have room.
I love that raccoon!😍❤
Sarah, You were absolutely fantastic! Loved your video. Recommend your channel a lot to raccoon owners and fans! Both of you are leading the way! 👍♥️
We make our harnesses ourselves. It’s best to get a collar/ harness on them when they are young so they get used to them early on and are less fussy with them later on. Walking them with their attention deficit disorder is very interesting as they want to explore/ dig everything they see. Plus they decide which way they want to go so it takes a lot of patience. We are also the “safe tree” when they get scared when out in public so be prepared for the sudden claw climb to safety on your shoulder.
ADD🥰 so true. I don't have to use a harness, but that means attractive trees everywhere are about to be explored! And sometimes it can be a long time exploration.....
When I had a raccoon I tried 3 different harnesses. She got out of all 3. They are just too smart. LOL.
If the zipper to stroller has 2 zippers, Just tie a bread tie to both zippers together. And if she somehow gets the zippers apart, just use a zip tie to tie them together and cut zip tie off when you get home or wherever you're going. They cost a couple bucks for like 50 of them. Definitely worth it
I walk mine on a leash with a harness use harness's designed for cats. Neither of mine care but spend more time climbing up my leg and sitting on my shoulder vs actually walking. The harness I use fits over their legs and has a buckle on the back so you don't have to put their head in a hole.
OMG So adorable in the stroller she so adorable as she stick her nose out of it love it love your pets thanks so much ..
The backpack looks like a bad idea. There is no air circulation and will act like a green house .
I did keep checking the temperature inside and it was good (and we kept this walk short), thanks to the holes and the vents on the side. I would definitely be worried about that on really hot days and would go with the stroller then
I just love everything you two do!! I love the cats cuz I have 4! But I feed racoons on my deck. I love how she did the video tonight, you two are made for each other!!
God, it's been so long! I've been waiting for this for a long time.
I have pet rats and I'd love to put some of them on a leash and a harness and take walks together, just let them explore them some nice places while safely beeing in human range. (some of them wouldn't feel comfortable outside, but some enjoy) But their body doesn't fit any harnesses that are sold. I love their tiny legs and feet and cute faces and ears, but they make them totally unwalkable.
A rat in a harness would be so cute!!! 💕They definitely have a similar weird shape to raccoons though so I can imagine that being difficult
Same
Mine are dead tho
Adorable!
I don’t have a raccoon but I still enjoy your videos!
Another great raccoon PSA! Well done!
Piper looked cramped in the pet backpack.
Raccoons do have a goofy anatomy. They look like they are made out of bitsa dis and bitsa dat off the spare parts shelf. Either that or the creator might have a sense of humor. It seems like as long as you guys are with her she is goof to go but I would be concerned that backpack would quickly turn into an easy bake oven on a hot day.
"bitsa dis and bitsa dat" 😂😂 I kept checking the inside temperature to make sure she was good. I would be worried about that on especially hot days too though but it was good on this shorter walk (thankfully it had the side vents and the holes)
@@TitoTheRaccoon Yes, the little cuties are definitely "Bitsa Babies."
I am ✨ delighted ✨
Raccoon quarters. Many need ideas on how to create & build a special place away from a crate which is really not right for them. All of Mitch's raccoon bedrooms have catered to their needs. Best cozy sleeping areas w climbing log when they are awake. ♥️👍. I always suggest to take look at several ideas Mitch did throughout time. Both of you are leading the way! 👍♥️🎉
Piper is so cute
Hi cuties awesome video love ya guys take care 💕💕💕
Sooooo cute
how cute I want your channel and very good I always see everything I don't miss any notification
thanks so much for watching! we really appreciate it
I just bought my kitty that back pack 👍
I love the stroller.. but the backpack look good tho if it’s fit them
Yeah I looked online and there are a few bigger ones. We may just have to try another!
Perfect if they are just trained to be on a leash. I felt so claustrophobic watching her inside a backpack 😂🤦
Tito is feeling uncomfortable in the backpack.
this is Piper
@@moonworkstammy7913 I think u are right. I don't regularly follow this channel so I thought this raccoon is Tito.
@ShadowDemon Escaped...
Piper & Tito escaped some time ago.
I love raccoons :D
You can make a harness out of a leash! That might be something to try another time
The stroller is much better!!
Check out That Racoon Guy or Steve Flinger it's the same KZhead channel. He lives in Canada and feeds racoons.
Come back tito
❤️❤️❤️
Secure the zipper with a safety pin or a plastic tie.
You can wear the backpack on the front.
...... GENUIS
harnesses work better if they've been used to wearing one.... ;)
Give them soft tacos
Can’t they walk with a harness?
I have a Cat that likes to go on walks so the stroller
👏
Do they cuddle like a pup with you guys ?
Piper does a lot! Cheeto does only sometimes (but then it’s extra special)
Are raccoons expensive to take care of?
The backpack looks like it is way too small and could cause heat exhaustion.
00:01 (meow translation) "action!" What if your racoon drives a rascal or a little golf cart? Granted, this may not be a good idea at the supermarket.
I like scratching things
same
🥰🥰🥰
Did I miss something? I haven't seen Cheeto in a while.
Backpack racc
backpackracccc!
Dude, your husband is so attractive. And so are you!

Maybe take a look at the PoyPet harness? It has seperate clasps for neck and body, no need to pull over head. I got it because my dog has spine issues and pulling her old one on and off hurt her. Its also fully adjustable! www.amazon.com/dp/B07JF744M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_94JYTS4XVVEMG9YACEVG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Racon
really wanna get a pet raccoon, can't find any tho anyone know where i can get one?
There are a few raccoon breeders. But they won't supply a raccoon if you cant prove if you live in a raccoon friendly state. Most us states forbid raccoons as pets, so taking your sick or dying raccoon to the vet in a state that forbids domesticated raccoons is a no no. Raccoons are also wild animals, so they dont know how to control themselves. Having children around raccoons is very dangerous for the child, since the child could do something that'll piss them off. Raccoons also naturally like exploring, learning, and figuring stuff out. So having a home for them that prevents them from escaping, and understanding that raccoons dont care about your property or boundries is important. And taking raccoons out of the wild at a young age is bad for them if you end up giving up and abandoning them or if they escape. I recommend looking up online for resources for taking care of a raccoon. They are not easy pets. They're cool, but they are not for everyone.
well i don't really have much to do, and if keeping a raccoon's gonna be so difficult, i'll take it. I'll save your comment for help, thanks, this was actually really helpful
@@Local_Dictator my priority is laying out the negatives. I dont want a raccoon to go into the hands of someone who doesnt want to understand them and doesnt have enough patience for them. I love raccoons, so I dont want them get hurt. I know on the news a few months ago, a women let her kid alone with their raccoon and the raccoon got aggressive and mauled the kid. I feel bad for the kid, but you cant do that to a raccoon. Most of them are pretty chill, but leaving your kid alone with them is irresponsible. Thank you for reading my reply though, just food fir thought
ok that kid part was... brutal... but ok eh i can deal with raccoons, i know how to deal with most animals, and i care for them like they are my own babies sooooo i think i'm ready
Piper is mad lazy Sad part is I can relate
hahah same
Raccoon torture
Backpack seems like it would be hot and cramped 👎

Honey...i think we're gonna need a bigger backpack lol. That is one fat ass raccoon!!! Jenny Craig is looking for her!!lol. I think a little more exercise and a little less treats!!
Hahahaha Jenny Craig 😂😂 She definitely still has her winter bod. And I did search online and find some bigger backpacks we may have to try!
he was too big for the backpack
Why birth a baby when you can have a pet racoon?

Backpack is terrible
Yawl this is animal torture at its finest how the fuck is it supposed to be in its own natural habitat.
DISGUSTING !!!!! POOR ANIMAL....IT IS A LIVING BEING....NOT A DOLL !!!!!
How are they treating it like a doll? All they're doing is taking it for a walk like you would a dog or a cat
@@ivygirl9119 No, you should not carry a dog or a cat in this stupid bag either 😢😢😢
Um.....those plastic bubble ones are ANIMAL CRUELTY, ya figure ?? I mean who the F can't tell they don't have enough air circulation and are too hot?!
