i myself had to take care of 6 orphaned raccoons last summer, we had found their nest in the early spring, but didnt bother them, they were living in our garage roof,
well around the end of summer. they started to wander around, and i kept catching them and putting them back where their nest was, did this for two days, during the day, so after the third day of them wandering around during the day without mama, i realized she must have been one of the raccons that was hit by a car on my road, i caught them all and started to bottle feed and supply them with food, did this for over a week, that was how long it took for me to find someone that would rehabilitate them, and set them back in the wild,
on the night that i had to take them i was upset, as i knew i would miss them,but i was lucky enough to have pictures to remember them by, i shall share them sometime
but after that i did find two baby squirrels that i had for a few days, and then took them to the same place i took my coons to, but i didnt get pictures of them , they were red squirrels, and oh so cute,
