Someone left a litter of baby raccoons on my doorstep. The gf is making me care for them overnight instead of leaving them to nature's furry. Any suggestions?

How old? Of they are big enough for dog food feed them that, or soften with something like milk. Smaller and you might have to bottle feed. Walmart has bottle stuff in the dog food...

Too small for dog food. Hopefully they like milk.

Start boiling the water and get ready to throw them in the pot.

Please,I would love to take one off your hands.
I have experience with raising baby racoons.
My last one I had as a pet for 5 years.
You have to bottle feed them then ween them onto high nutrition cat food with a water source nearby because they have to wet their food for digestion.
If you would like to get rid of one

I used ensure mixed with a little pedialite for nutrition for our other coons.
Just in care you needed a real answer to your question.

Make sure they don't leave home before you register them for LA purchase cards! Good luck!
