YOU CANNOT KEEP WILD ANIMALS AS PETS YOU DIPWAD.


he escaped because he realized that being kept in a cage all day was not were he belonged.








he did not escape, he went home.Will our pet raccoon return home, He escaped his enclosure?
It depends on a lot of factors. If he has been raised as a pet, he might not have any fear of humans or other animals that may hurt or kill him, so he might not come home. He might not be able to.





I hope that you realize that keeping a wild animal as a pet is illegal. Even in states that allow pet raccoons (and NOT every state does), you are not allowed to keep a wild raccoon. You must purchase one form a USDA breeder, or from a store or dealer that got it from a licnesed breeder.





If your wild raccon bites someone while it is roaming around, the health department will capture it and kill it to test it for rabies. Even if it comes home, and you continue to keep it (illegally), if it bites someone, it will be confiscated and killed. Also, your homeowners insurance will not cover any damage or injury caused by a wild animal in your possession. If it bites someone, the person it bites can sue you.





The very best thing you can do for this animal if it returns is to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and surrender the animal. You can find one here: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.鈥?/a> or here: http://www.wildliferehabber.org/





This is what you should have done when you first found it.





Licensed wildlife rehabilitators have the specialized training to care for sick, injured and orphaned wild animals, and they have the required state and federal licenses that allow them to keep the wild animals until they are healthy enough to be released. They know how to recondition an animal that has been raised as a pet so that it can live a wild existence again, and be returned to its proper environment.
yes he will. if you guys were feeding him large amounts regularly, he will remember we he got fed and he will return.
