Yesterday AIP management was investigating a sound that was keeping guests in one of our condos up at night...a scratching...a ghost?? Nope, just a mama raccoon with her three tiny babies! Unfortunately, the babies were found after they cut a hole in the ceiling to locate the problem...and these three fell down...nest and all! Which meant I was substitute coon mama for the night, until I dropped them off for the Wildlife Rescue Coalition in nearby Jacksonville to take care of them. It's best for wild animal babies to be left with their real moms, we only take them if we feel they are hurt or unable to be successfully reunited with their wild moms. They are very cute, but alot of work and definately would NOT make good pets! Hopefully they will be able to be returned to the wild once grown, and will find somewhere better than an attic to have their own young!
