Got a few the night before last. Nanny56 - Indiana, Zone "5b"   Duckwatcher  Posted on Sunday, February 10, 2008 - 07:06 am EST :    Cute fellas!

We humanely trapped at least a dozen last year and relocated them.

We have a system in our neighbourhood, a racoon alert of sorts. And it's because of racoons that those of who have chickens have completely enclosed them so nothing can get into their runs. We live in a rural area, so we're in their territory, but we just don't want to provide them their meals. We have racoon proof garbage bins (bear proof as well). They're cute!

I wouldn't even think of trying to grab any wild animal!! They can get quite nasty & carry rabies and roundworm to boot! I understand about the chickens and they do love eggs! I am in a semi rural area too. We have only lived here a year and have had to become accustumed to living along side all the critters!

We also have skunks! I haven't seen any but I have smelled them LOL or not LOL hehe Duckwatcher - Northern California, Zone "9b"   Stephie  Posted on Friday, February 15, 2008 - 12:11 pm EST :    Caught in the act!
