My two new loves

[Puck]

Its happened ladies and gents! I've been touched by the grace of GAWD and he has cured me of my sinful thoughts! I am now in love with two lovely females!

Nah, I'm full of crap mile: and to those of you who bought that load...shame on you! :biggrin:

I am though, now the proud papa of two baby raccoon kits named Miko and Kiko. Just thought I would share some pics of the cuteness overload

[Puck]

One last pic mile:

They look so cute!

wow, you can keep a raccoon as a pet? Or were they rescued and you will return them to the wilderness after some time?

There's no actual law which prohibits keeping raccoons as pets. They are being raised at only 8 weeks old. Their mother was killed and the vet would only euthanize them. They would have died on their own...and after being cared for by humans, it would be difficult for them to re-adjust back into the wild.

I think they deserve a chance to life a comfortable life so that's why we took them in mile:

So yes, I plan to keep them as pets. Many people do...its just considered a little unorthodox is all mile:

I hope they will not adjust your home to their liking Do you have a garden? I can just guess that taking care of them will not be as easy as taking care of other more traditional pets

Oh, they're under supervision :biggrin: Its like taking care of a toddler though lol. You just have to watch them carefully while they are out and teach them "proper manners" hehe.....hard as hell...possibly, but you get what you put into it mile:

We've had experience taking care of exotic pets though. Growing up, I've had prairie dogs, sugar gliders and even a de-scented skunk as pets mile:
