What do raccoons eat… It’s a tough question, actually. It’s easier to name what they don’t like. Now and then, they are so desperate to fill their fluffy tummies, so they steal alligator eggs. So, if we’re talking about feral coons, then it can be literally anything.They steal corn from the fields. They raid nests and nick freshly laid eggs. If you have a hen house and your area is populated by raccoons — your birds are certainly in danger.
Berries, apples, wild honey, sunflowers, carrots are also on their menu. So, your garden can be quite alluring to them.
In cities, raccoons gormandize on trash. The garbage pandas favor pizza leftovers, expired dairy, watermelon rind, sausage wrappers and even potato peels. So, basically, all of their food choices have a strong and saturated odor. It’s a universal rule to follow when ambushing one.
