My friend has been trying to get raccoons out of his chimney. He finally got the mom to leave; she took 2 of the babies and left 1. Why would she do that and the baby has not had food for 3 days now. How should we handle this.
The plan is to put paper over the chimney tonight to see if she is coming back, if she isn't we'll remove her tomorrow and take her to the wildlife rescue.Why would a mom raccoon take 2 babies with her but leave 1?
There might be something wrong with the baby, or it could be the weakest out of the three. The mother might be able to sense that, and does not think it will survive, so she left it. You should consult your local animal rescue/store and get advice on feeding it so it does not die.Why would a mom raccoon take 2 babies with her but leave 1?
Thats a good plan, go with that.
You should have already removed the baby.Do it now.
A lot of times, sad as it will seem, when a wild animal only take part of her liter with her it's because the one left behind is sick. Whether the mother returns or not, it's best that you not remove that baby yourself. With wild animals it's always best to let the wildlife people who are trained to do those thing take care of the problem.
