Since Ricky and Rocky still had their eyes closed, I am sure they think of me as a big, bald raccoon. Getting animals before they are weaned has its drawbacks, and you must be prepared to take on all the roles of an animal mother. This will include many sleepless nights, as baby raccoons have a strong set of lungs on them and do not hesitate to let you know when they need something. Usually I use my thumb as a pacifier, which they will contentedly suck on all night. Unfortunately as they become older and bigger they switch over to arms and neck in the middle of the night, causing me to wake up with many 'hickeys'.
Young raccoons are playful, affectionate, curious, and they use a litter box faithfully.
Raccoons will also develop friendships with your other pets, when they are raised with them. I once had a raccoon that was friendly with a squirrel, woodchuck and a cat. They would all take naps together. My young raccoons generally sleep with me at night, and have run of my apartment when I am there to supervise. Unsupervised raccoons get bored and will find trouble.
