]]>Animal activist Brittany Rose Seidel met Roxie after buying a new home. The previous resident told her that the raccoon occasionally comes for a visit and is quite friendly.
Seidel quickly developed a bond with Roxie, and the raccoon ended up coming quite often, either to get some food or just to greet her. But one day, Roxie decided to bring some company; her babies.
As it turned out, this wasn’t the end of it. Each time that Roxie had a new litter and the babies were strong enough to walk on their own, she would bring them for a meet and greet.
Seidel recently welcomed a baby of her own and decided to return the favor and introduce it to Roxie. The baby ended up being quite intrigued by the animal and they are also on the path of becoming great friends.
“I trust Roxie the most, so she only interacts with her,” Seidel shared. “And, of course, I’m always there to supervise.”

]]>Studies have shown that raccoons are among the smartest animals in the wild. If they manage to do a certain task, they will still remember the solution three years later. They are also considered highly trainable.
Raccoons have developed vocalization skills. They are able to produce more than 50 different sounds ranging from squealing to hissing and even purring.
Raccoons can be found in all parts of the United States except the desert and rocky mountains. They live in all surroundings, with their only requirement being that there is a source of water nearby.
Raccoons are known as loners of the animal world. They usually don’t live in groups and are known to mate with multiple partners during their lifespan. In the latter case, the female raccoon is responsible for raising raccoon babies, while the male raccoon runs away from the responsibility.
There is a reason you encounter raccoons almost exclusively at night. They are nocturnal animals, meaning they sleep during the day and get out to look for food at night.

]]>At first, Robinson decided to try her luck with rescue centers and wildlife rehabilitation organizations in the area, hoping they could give proper care to the raccoon. But all those places told her that they couldn’t help him and even recommended that she gets him euthanized.
Robinson then took the matter into her own hands and nursed the raccoon back to health with the help of her mom Linda. They named him Little Hands and developed a strong bond with the animal despite knowing that they’d have to let him back to the wild at some point.
After two and a half months, Nikki and Linda set Little Hands free, believing they’d never see the adorable raccoon again. But they were wrong.
It turns out that Little Hands grew fond of them and didn’t intend to disappear. He returned after a while and continued to pay them visits from time to time.
“[My mom] has a porch swing where she sits outside, and he would come up and literally crawl onto the swing and sit beside her and just want his butt and chin scratched,” Robinson revealed in a chat with Dodo. “He wanted his snuggles, then he’d have his food and wander off.”
Since releasing Little Hands to the wild, the mother and daughter saved a number of raccoons and took care of them until they could survive on their own. And just like Little Hands, some of them also occasionally drop by to get a bite and some snuggles.
