Better than TV, better than YouTube...our raccoon families are a source of endless entertainment. Although we put toys out for them, they also bring their own, such as peacock feathers (shed from the small flock of peacocks who unfortunately have adopted our property as their home) and pieces of bark. They like to keep their hands busy—my daughter says they have OCD!—by rubbing the stones they place in their water tray and swimming pool and by constantly moving the rocks in our rock garden. Lately, one of our juniors (born earlier this year) has taken a shine to the buckets next to the doors of the deck where we feed them. It has become his/her favourite spot for grooming and napping, probably because it is warmer than the chilly tiled deck— and as close as possible to us, the feeders.
