Raccoons Socks

Raccoons den in hollow trees or logs, caves, crevices in rocky ledges, abandoned burrows, cavities under tree roots, haystacks, barns, sheds, and even muskrat houses have been used. Usually food near water or riparian habitats. Raccoons may have several dens within their home range and may not necessarily use only one continuously. Coons are nocturnal, foraging from dusk to dawn. Coons do not store food or keep their dens clean though they will wash food if water is available. They are highly inquisitive and sociable. Although adult coons are generally solitary they may den up with others during severe cold, when food is locally plentiful, or during periods of high population density. During snow and ice storms or severe temperatures coons will den up until the weather changes. Sometimes during these cold spells the coons will den in groups of up to 9 or more. Coons are excellent climbers and jumpers, making it difficult to preclude them from areas where they are not wanted. Coons are fierce fighters when cornered but prefer to flee from conflict.   Shipping Info
