Baby Raccoon Countdown Has Begun (For Us)

Do you miss seeing baby raccoons?

Raccoons generally mate during the January thaw which can occur mid to late January but this unusual warm weather could cause them to mate earlier than normal.

Only time will tell! In 2020 we saw our first litter of raccoons on February 27th.

Female raccoons will typically give birth to 1 - 7 offspring. Although 4 - 5 is more common, we have seen 11 babies in one litter before!
