Roscoe the Raccoon Update - Born Free

- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- I've gotten a lot of requests for an update on Roscoe, and I've been putting it off for awhile, so here goes. Ole Roscoe is off doing raccoon things. He'd been disappearing and going off in the woods for a week or two at a time for awhile, and the amount of time he stayed gone increased between every visit.
But, don't worry; this is actually a good thing! Roscoe came to live out in the middle of nowhere with me so he could do all the raccoon things his little heart desired, and the end goal was always that he would be able to survive on his own.
We'll all definitely miss him and would love for him to come back to visit, but we're happy he's out there living his best life. Here are a few of my favorite Roscoe clips!
He'll be back with his extended family and turn the farm upside down
A nice beautiful video by a beautiful lady! Thanks, Erin!
Definitely bittersweet when they leave. I raised three orphaned raccoons a few years ago - from bottle feeding to teaching them to find food in streams. They finally left around the late Fall. I never named them because I didn't want to get too attached, but you're basically their parent. Great times! My three little buggers are likely dead by now but they wouldn't have lived if not for folks like us.
Here's to Roscoe! May he find all the bugs and crawdads and gf's his raccoon heart desires. lol
As it should be! Congrats on a successful reintroduction of a critter to his own world.
Caring for Roscoe was a wonderful act of kindness. You saved his life and gave him the chance to grow up. Now he has made friends, likely found a mate and is living the high life. You are a kind, loving person and can be very proud of yourself. : )
Best wishes for Roscoe and hope he’s doing great in the woods! Thank you Erin for having given us the chance to meet him!
Roscoe was the reason I found your channel, I'm still here.
Same here
That is how I stumbled on one of the best channels on UA-cam. I was watching raccoon videos.
So did I!
Hey Erin, thanks for all the awesome never seen Roscoe stuff. It sad he moved on....maybe he'll make a guest appearance someday 🙂
We will miss Roscoe but, very happy for him and he will never forget his human friend. And....he will return to show off his family to you. I've seen it before. Thanks for the update Erin!!!!
Thank you for the Roscoe update. When I am in the store and see grapes or powdered donuts, I smile and think of him.
Roscoe has shared some wonderful times with a very special person... You. He's a lucky raccoon... And I'm sure he'll pop in for a reunion from time to time. He's smart like that. ;)
They never forget where the chow is lol🥰😉 thanks for the update Erin👍
Roscoe came for awhile and you provided his needs for a time. I was impressed that you had him live outside in the world and didn't make him a a house pet. When the time came for him to move on he did left because he also learned survival skills. Do not be surprised had he someday may return, Hope so. Stay safe and healthy
Roscoe will return to see his buddy.Keep up the great videos
Dear Erin,
You spending and sharing your life with Rossco is genuinely a great part of country living. Than you, for sharing.
Stay safe, stay well.
Nice job Erin. You did exactly what needed to be done and gave Roscoe a chance.
Awe Roscoe, we'll miss you come back.
We'll see if the call of the wild is strong than the call of the grapes. Safe journeys Roscoe!
Awww lil roscoe ❤ hes out there making a little raccoon family.
You did a great job with him and I'm sure he'll stop by from time to time ☺️
He'll be back , don't worry . He got the scent of a female and is now on a lovers furlough . Hunger will overcome lust .
Selfless act to let him go out and live wild! Props for that.
Happy trails Roscoe! We look forward to your return, I hope! Erin, you can be proud of the little rascal.
Thank you for the clips of Roscoe. You did a great job being his human mom until he knew how to be the best raccoon he could be. I enjoyed him playing and picking on you, it showed his trust in you.
You'll see him again he will show up when you least expect it ..love your video keep up the good work
Good luck Roscoe!! Nature is the best for him, you did good Girl!!!
Back to the Wild, He will be back... Your a good mama...
*You are = you're.
@@ChocolateMilk.. Thanks milk maid...
Good on you for helping Roscoe become his best Raccoon. You are awesome.
when he was trying to get the grapes out of the Fish bowl is probably the greatest thing I’ve seen 😂
What a cool relationship you had with this little guy! Thank you for the great pick-me-up!
I've raised 5 raccoon kits over the last 15 years. One at a time. Bottle feeding is rough, but very rewarding bc they think you are mommy. Trained them all to take care of themselves as best that I could. Most leave home around 9 months old, fully grown. Some have come back to visit, so there is hope that Roscoe will stop by occasionally. Lot of work, but also lots of fun. Heart breaking when they leave, but you know it's the way God intended. I have one now named Rufus. He will be a year old in April. He's ready to move on but thankfully hasn't left yet. Enjoy every minute.
That was good to see clips of Roscoe & you. He will be missed😊
Erin what a wonderful thing to do and such kindness . God bless you and your family.
Great job with Roscoe, and a pretty cool friendship. Hope you cross paths with him again!
The way it should be! Nature is great! Well done, you did good.
Well, this makes me sad . I know raccoons like to move around but still, so sad . God Bless your wonderful attitude. Go Roscoe !
So long Roscoe. Many great adventures for you!!! They are so awesome.
Hi Erin. Very cute thanks for the update. He will come back a some point. I'm confident Roscoe wont forget you.
Your a good person with a big heart he will be back. I've wanted to say this for a while.... love your hair it's so beautiful.
Even in the Netherlands, we love Roscoe.
Racoon in Dutch is: Wasbeer. Little racoon: Wasbeertje. Thanks 4 the update, Erin
8:32
I swear Roscoe is praying for you. Lol
That’s hilarious. He puts his hand (whatever Raccoons have) on you and bows his head.
Looks just like he’s praying. Then he proceed to massage your shoulder.
Thanks Roscoe for the laughs.
Live Free
Great footage and happy memories.
Ha! Ya made me chuckle and smile...what ever his path he will have a big old soft spot for grapes the rest of his life. Cheers!
I know exactly how you feel about Roscoe. I rescued an abandoned baby porcupine and raised him to adulthood. Mr. Prickles was awesome to have around. He was potty trained and so much fun to play with. But the time did come when he just stopped coming back for visits and treats. But with pictures and memories he will always be a member of our family.
Great video Erin you have done a fantastic job of rehabilitation with Roscoe, you should be proud of yourself, stay safe 👍.
Roscoe will always remember your love and kindness.
That’s great. I am sure you miss him but, he was always supposed to be wild. Kudos for the good work.
I had one about same age as Roscoe do that too, where I worked at a Marina in Daytona, Florida.....hed come visit frequently and then it started to taper off. I also noticed around this time OTHER raccoons around him. Eventually, after about 2 weeks of disappearances, I didn't see him again. I think they get older and just move on. Alas! Nice while it lasted! Thanks alot Erin for all the great posts of Roscoe!!!!!!!!!
I’m so sorry I know how much you cared for him😢😢
It was great seeing you and Roscoe. Even my border collie watch you two on the big screen tv as you fed Roscoe grapes.
I bet his (Roscoe) video clips are titled "Living with a beautiful human woman who fed me grapes" LOL.
Erin. You shold bee proud of your self for a Great Step Mom Jobb!
Thanks for the best of Roscoe clips
Great Roscoe montage... he'll come back and visit
Thanks for doing a video. Kinda missed you.... show us around your town and favorite places
Roscoe the rascal finally moved on! Good for him.
You have and pure heart. Roscoe was a lucky fella
gods creation bring so much joy ,in our crazy world,thanks erin
Erin is a gem of a person. Wish you all the best!
To everything there is a season. Stay strong, stay safe.
Good to see you again. Thanks for sharing your story.
Translated to english we call racoons in my country "Wash Bears". Because they seem to like washing their food. Just wanted to share that.
You set him up real good to assume his raccoon duties. All is well.
That's kind of crazy that you could even do that stuff with a raccoon but pretty neat at the same time!!!
What's crazy?! Lol there's a spoiled rotten chubby raccoon with his own bedroom, bunk beds, toys, hammock swing, party lights, and tv at my place! Most loving, hilarious, intelligent and fun animal on earth. Non-stop 24/7 work, but worth it.
Of course Roscoe will be back. You are too sweet to turn its back on forever.
Thank you for the update, Erin. He is a healthy young male raccoon who went on to claim his own territory and raise little Roscoe's, as it should be. It's a good thing and we all have good memories of him. What more can you ask for? The females' are a little different. I had a friend who was benefactor to a "wild" but habituated racoon for 14 years when when, despite medical care, she died due to injury's.
He’ll be back one day. Keep the powdered donuts on standby.
Wishing you all the best!! Will miss the little guy
Hopefully he comes back! Please don't hate me for saying this, but at 8:37 -- you have the prettiest smile when Roscoe is giving you the mini back massage. I'm glad Roscoe made you happy and hope you have a great day!
The fish bowl was priceless. Good luck Buddy.
I'll bet you miss him like crazy. My wife and I fell in love with racs back in the 90's. We started by feeding one raccoon and suddenly she showed up with two babies. We now had three and three turned into seven within a year. After five years we had 33 raccoons knocking on our front door at 7 p.m. sharp every night. We fed them Attaboy by the 60 lb. bag. We did have a couple that would come into the house. They are really adorable little creatures but we came to the realization that we had to stop feeding them. The only way we could do it was to go on a trip to Lake Tahoe for about ten days. We got back and honestly we really missed them but we simply couldn't go through that again. People who have never had experiences with these little guys misjudge them All they want to do is eat, play and steal stuff. I know deep down you do miss him but you are correct. They are animals in the wild. But, and I'm certain you will agree....having Roscoe around was something you will always cherish.
Having a raccoon is like having a 2 year old on crack. You are just going from disaster to disaster but you love them anyway
That breeze and tree best spot on this rock. If I was roscoe I would have stayed
You did an excellent job with him mabe in spring he might come around for some fresh grapes
You did a great job with him and I think he really appreciated you.
You did a good deed by looking after him. Best wishes
I want to "Thank you" for being you!
Thanks for the update and congratulations on accomplishing what you set out to do with Roscoe!
Your hair is awesome! In your previous video you had it braids and now it’s down and flowing! Anyway you wear it is super nice. Like many other of your fans, I believe you are gorgeous and an extremely interesting person.
Thank you for sharing!
Ok, .....the grapes in the fishbowl was friggin hillarious.
Good job on helping the little fella. I bet hes having a good time out in the woods telling the other raccoons how he is a youtube star.
Good luck Roscoe and thanks Erin for sharing!!!!
Hello from Germany! Nice to see you back. Be save and stay healthy!
Oh my gosh I know it’s amazing for him, but I’d be balling my eyes out! Bless you and Roscoes sweet souls 💜
I was always concerned he would get stuck in that hole in the tree and not be able to escape. It's good that he's gone his own way, he was very lucky to have found you as a friend
Erin he will be back.He is just starting his owen family.just like you sooner or later will do the same thing.i know you miss him he was your little babby but you did the right thing erin.thank you for your videos. I hope he comes back with babbies so you can help him out.he will rember you you will see.god bless you have a great day erin.
Live long and prosper, Roscoe!
Roscoe, are you getting all my hugs?
I initially came for Roscoe, but here we are he's gone and I'm still here.
Thank you for sharing and have a good winter. Love from Montana
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend moving on you did the right thing you're a raccoon's best friend here's to you Roscoe have a good time out there in the wild 🤠
Erin, with your horticultural back ground and your ability with animals, you could get a job at any zoo on the planet. I make this comment because I worked at the Cincinnati Zoo for 10 years and met many people exactly like you.
Sorry to hear that. He might have found a new love and started a family.
If that's so, be happy for him.
Raccoons are a fun pet. The video clips are great.
Our raccoons always left when they got older. Sometimes I had to go get one out of a neighbors tree across town cause they didn’t like coons around their place
I know someone who raised and rehabilitated coons for years. Depending on what part of the country your from, and how much food is available in the wild. He will be back to visit if he has trouble finding food. Even after a few years they can come back. You would 've suprised how long they live. And how well their memory is. Especially females.
Erin, thanks for the update on Roscoe :)
this racoon and your dog is your own family yet. i love him. animals are wonderful thing to relax of the hard work, but not only. they feel if somebody feel not good and coming to you, to left you not to be alone like a truly family.
Thanks Erin! Your hair is beautiful and thanks for the update!😁
I have a feeling he will be back. He is going to miss his Erin, and of course, her treats.....
I miss Roscoe. Don't be surprised if he pops back in this spring for a meal and some company. He just might bring his new family by as well. If they know they can get a meal during lean times, they will remember where to go.
You did great by him. You should be proud. It looks like you are happy for him leaving the nest.
I don't remember if I said this in a previous video, but I sure love that big old tree
"Sweet girl!" Greetings from Yorkshire England. take care. John.x
