Raccoon Dog Pet - The Nature of these Exotic Animal

How do you build a habitat for raccoons? If the raccoon grows up in the most natural habitat possible, the pet will surely be healthy and strong.

 I suggest talking about caring for a raccoon in an outdoor cage. How should the cage be designed? What features should the landscaping have?

 The raccoon and the natural environment are as harmonious as the cartridge with the machine gun. It's full ammunition. Therefore, one of the best ways to keep a raccoon is to house your pet in a garden or manor house cage.

 What kind of habitat do raccoons like?

Raccoon - freedom-loving animal. It needs a lot of space.

Of course, it is not necessary to get to fanaticism, because as much as the raccoon does not give the will, it will always be little.

On average, you can assume an aviary of 3 (m) height, 4 (m) length and 3 (m) width. Do not be deterred by such a large size of the aviary. Remember that keeping a raccoon in a cage is a very exciting and interesting activity. The larger the enclosure, the more interesting it is to watch the life of a wily masked man.

2. The walls of the cage must be buried at least 0.5 meters deep into the ground. Raccoons do not dig holes, but if you are aware of the weak points of the cage, your pet may well build a pit.
3. On the perimeter of the base to put additional protection for 200-250 (mm) high of opaque material.
4. Before the door to the cage to create a buffer zone, the kind of vestibule, a length of about 1 meter. This is necessary because even if a raccoon and sneaks past you into the open door, it will stop the outer door of the vestibule. You need to make sure that the keeping of the raccoon in the outdoor enclosure is neat and safe.
5. The roof should be very close to the walls, otherwise the raccoon will chew through the gap and escape from the cage.
6. As walls, you can use an ordinary rabbit fence with a mesh size of no more than 30-50 (mm). One of the walls should be covered with boards.

Raccoon enclosure requirements

The design of the enclosure should fully meet the interests and needs of the raccoon.

2. Some raccoon owners dig out tree trunk parts with branches in the middle of the cage. The tree with branches must be strong and massive enough, that is, it is not necessary to dig out bushes or shoots of very young plants.
3. If you manage to get a tree fragment with a den, you need to line the bottom of the cage with straw or dry leaves. Keeping a raccoon in an enclosure requires that you create the most natural living conditions possible.
4. For hibernation, you should provide a warm corner. It should also not be too spacious or cramped. The best option is a doghouse that is slightly larger than the raccoon itself. Nora should be well protected from precipitation, wind and drafts.
5. In the warm season, the cage should have a container with clean water. A bath is needed to cool down in the hot sun and to wash the food. The water should be changed 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening).
6. It is desirable to place the raccoon in a separate bunk and drinking container.
7. When the raccoon is accustomed to the tray, you should put a separate container for the toilet.
8. It is necessary to set up a sleeping place for the raccoon. Raccoons like piles of sawdust, leaves and natural textiles.
