Gardere wildlife control tip of the month:

Do raccoons make good pets?

A lot of people find raccoons cute and charming. They may think that they can keep them and make them as pets, but they are not meant to be house pets. They have lived in the Gardere exterminator wild and they have an instinct of a wild animal. You cannot expect them to behave the way cats and dogs do. Those who fondly saw them will think that they are captivating and can be good companions, but they are not. You must be mistaken.

Before you consider having raccoons as home pet, be cautious about legal matters in your area. You must check with the local, state and provincial regulatory laws before you even push through in keeping them as pets at home. If the raccoons are legal to keep in your place of residence, then you can search for them for keeping. It will be best to get them from a Gardere animal trapping breeder, even if it may be hard to find. Some have nurtured baby orphans and kept them as domesticated animals. In that case, it will be greater if the raccoons are very used to being taken care of by humans at an early age. It will keep them sociable and not prone to biting. They are prone to biting if they feel threatened, so you must be careful.

Keeping raccoons as a pet is a long term commitment. They need a lot of attention and supervision during their early life. If you can take care of them accordingly, they can live more than 15 years, so the commitment must not be taken lightly. You must also know that you need to ask someone to take care of the Gardere wildlife removal raccoons when you are not home of if you must go elsewhere or if something bad happened to you, so you cannot keep them for long.

They cannot be back to the wild if you took care of them for years. Another concern that you must shoulder is where to find a Gardere pest control vet that will treat the raccoon the way they do with cats and dogs. Even where raccoons are lawful, it may be hard for you to find a vet who will be very much willing to take care of their health. Raccoons are prone to distemper as well as rabies. Even if they will be vaccinated with the same Gardere animal control vaccines given to canine, it is still unknown to protect species like raccoons.
