Raccoons are aggressive to humans if they are not hand-raised.
Pet raccoons are considered an exotic animal by most states; therefore, to own a raccoon, you may be required to obtain an exotic animal handlers license or permit. Be sure to check the exotic animal regulations in your state before buying a baby raccoon as a pet. Even with a permit, if you bring the baby raccoon in from out of state, the raccoon will need to have a health certificate and veterinary exam paperwork to enter the state.
Instructions
1. Check online classified pet websites for baby raccoons for sale. In the search box on the website type in "baby raccoon." On Internet search engine websites, type in "baby racoon for sale."
