Roxie leading her babies to the house looks much like one of us taking our kids out to see wildlife. Now kids, these humans seem TAME, but they need to spend most of the day in their enclosure.
😂
I had the same thought haha like a introduction "These animals are called 'humans' and these subjects are very friendly, but still need to be treated with caution. Most of these creatures are dangerous and you must run from them."
I love it!!!
@@davidgreg6907You should come to the real US! Texas is our nation’s halfway house.
I love this
Roxie probably: "Only one in your litter? Hope you have a better luck next year." 😄
Oh, I can so see that! “Tough winter, huh?”
@@davidgreg6907You're creepy. Go away.
@@davidgreg69072 words dude: *Internet safety*
Great comment 😂😂😂😂
LOL😂
Those racoon's hands on the glass door..so precious ❤
🐾
They can be so sweet. Many years ago, we heard a scratching at our back door. Opened it to find a young, pregnant female raccoon who had obviously seen some rough times - she was blind in one eye and had several visible scars. We fed her - she was asking for help. And when the babies were born, she brought them to us as well. For about 6 years, we met each new brood. They would come and sleep in the sun on our back deck and made us laugh so often with their wrestling and tumbling about. We missed her so much when she didn't return for a 7th year. We never names any of the younglings, but we always called her our Bebe.
Aww. 🥹
Bebe 🦝🐾
This story tugged at my heartstrings. 💘✨
Such a sweet story 😊
that was kind of you.
0:45 Her dog: You never give me grapes. 😢
Owner: For good reasons.
Isn't it poisonous for them, in large doses?
Yes, grapes are toxic for dogs! Never feed them to your dog!
@TalEdds Oh I didn't know that! I never gave them to my dog, but it's good to know! Thank you! 😊❤💯
@TalEdds yes they are. But not only large doses. Any amount can make them unwell. If a dog eats even one grape it's advised to call the vet.
@@IshiyAnime Dogs won't eat grapes, animals avoid stuff that's harmful to them, that's how they've survived.
Raccoons can be very sweet and trusting animals.
I believe most "wild" animals can be this way if they are treated with respect.
Raccoons did not occur west of the Rockies prior to westward expansion. The raccoons followed the pioneers west because of the vittles.
@@eugenedanker2377 With respect... and food.
@@yaldabaoth2 Yes, they are always ready for a handout.
@@eugenedanker2377especially Panthers Cougars and Grizzly’s
Saying she shouldn't feed then gives it a 5 course meal 😂
Wait til it's got rabies
Raising your baby in a wonderful way - brilliant!
This is just amazing. Two mothers introducing their babies and spending some time together. Nature is beautiful :D
Yea until it goes rabid and starts attacking your 2 year old 🤦♂️
exactly
at least part of them always knows their true origin now
imagine this keeps on going for generations
This is so fucking dumb. She had a chance to simply not interact with the raccoon and scare it away to teach it that its source of food is no longer from human hands. Now she's taught generations upon generations of raccoons in that area that it's okay to approach humans and see them as safe. That's _not_ good for them and this shouldn't be encouraged. Not only that, you don't let your 1 year old child hand feed them. They are still wild animals and a baby's behavior can startle them for whatever reason. One of them could be in the early stages of rabies or distemper and after the baby hand feeds the raccoon, its saliva is now on the baby's hand, and then the baby puts its hand in its own mouth. It's just so, so irresponsible. People _have_ to stop treating wild animals like pets, and at the very least, stop subjecting their children to the dangers of them.
@dismalrealms3587
I was looking for this comment, I came across a rabbit skunk few weeks ago. Took abt 4 shots before it stopped running. Pretty rare in my area tho.
We put food out for the feral cats in the area, and the wildlife eat whatever is left overnight. We had two raccoon moms last year. Always curious how many families we'll see each spring.
In the case of the cats you can actually do something about that though wildlife is wildlife so raccoons stay outside but “feral” cats can be turned into regular cats and you should definitely do that loo
Cat rescue people told me you cant do that with adult feral cats..i did catch like 9 males including 3 young ones and got them fixed. They fight over females, food and territory. Those young ones i kept in my front yard. I have dogs so i cant bring them in, but i provide food and shelter for them. They trust us now but won't let us pet them. They run away @pavloszimbrakos4410
They will continue to come back, especially knowing there is food!! That's awesome you do that
Awesome about the wildlife not the feral cats, we have issues with that in my neighborhood. Feral cats everywhere having litters all over yet people keep feeding them….
@@diazce95 Does your Town/County not have a TNR program?? That can be controlled.
Such a compliment from Mommy Raccoon to her human pals to show off her babies! So Precious🐾🐾💞
Wow that is a very special bond! Rosie knows she is safe there so she will continue to stay there, and her babies will end up staying around that area❤ Her daughter will grow up and appreciate our wild critters in a special way
"Roxie."
It's on screen.
So beautiful huh ❤❤
@@user-dh6bj2me5p🤗 Some people just don't pay attention!👀😂😍
Roxie. Damn
Sweet as ever
I love that they share and appreciate each other's children.
What an amazing friendship! One you don't hear of everyday. Thank you for taking care of this racoon and her family. If everyone could be like you, the world would be a better place for the animals.
I feed every hungry soul. Birds on my balcony get fresh raw sunflower 🌻 seeds ❤
Same here💫🐾💫
I have a knack for saving little orphan kittens that nobody wants later, so I have a bunch on my patio!
Right
Get them some mealworms. They will LOVE IT.
People who truly love animals don’t feed them.
Natures way of reminding us it is ok to have a heart.
Plus a family of Racoons to bond with. How lucky. There's a video roughly the same on UA-cam but it's Roe Deer that come to the door. See if you can find the video where a Golden Retriever befriends a Red Squirrel l. That's the best one I've saw yet.
I was extremely lucky to raise 4 baby raccoons when their mother died. It was the most amazing experience of my life. Bottle feedings teaching them to climb trees. Watching videos like this brings back fond memories for me. At one point they knew it was time to leave and explore the world. I grew up in a 500,000 acre ranch. So no local police or nosy neighbors complaining.
They were incredibly smart and they LOVED vanilla wafflers. They would dip them in water. And afterwards they would wash their hands in water like humans do. They figured out how to work through locks. They saw how we used our hands and did the locks in the same way. Raccoons are extremely intelligent. If I could raise another set of raccoons, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I understand completely, I miss my babies to this day. Dan
Yes! Unfortunately they have short lives, can you imagine if they lived 60-80 years😱.. I'm waiting for mine to come up on my deck
.
You are very kind❤. Roxy is beautiful ❤
🦝That little nose scrunch when she chomps is freaking adorable🦝😍❤🧡💜
Roxie: is this your dog’s food, don’t mind me grabbing a bite from one of the bowls. 😂😂😂
ROXIE IS A ROCK STAR!! SHE REMEMBERS WHEN THIS KIND HEARTED WOMAN SEEN AFTER HE AND HER BABIES!! THAT'S WHY SHE COMES BACK EACH AND EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS!! JUST AMAZING!! THANK YOU!!
@janetmarshall7171 ^*seen after? ^*he and her?🤦♂️
Also, lay off the caps lock ffs.🤦♂️🤡🤷♂️

@@spanqueluv9er WHAT'S WRONG WITH CAPS? ARE YOU READING THIS LIKE I'M YELLING AT YOU?!
When I rented a house, there were 3 raccoons that would come & peer in the windows..I called them Peepers, Jeepers & Creepers. I'd feed them & then they brought their babies to visit scampering in & out between my feet. It was so cute to watch them.
okay but the names are so iconic omg
Roxie really said, “let’s go see Grandma!” Very precious
Raccoons are adorable little creatures
She's building an army.
I love raccoons and had a relationship with them when I lived on the farm. I'm teary eyed reminiscing. Always cherish your friendship with these guys. It's not an accident that they came to you.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching baby feed the raccoon with mom beside was a bit scary, but also a wonderful teaching moment for baby. I wasn’t worried. ❤️
I don't know. Rabies is a terrifying thing.
It's so sweet. Giving your little barefoot baby exposure to the round worms that raccoons carry! I'm sure you'll still love her when she's slow in the head! ♥️🤪
@@SusanKay-how's life in the bubble?
@@jamesmcivor340 It's bubblicious! Trying to teach kids not to eat lead paint chips today. How's your fam?
@@jamesmcivor340Rick & Susan are correct! Plus, feeding inappropriate & contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. And
habituating wildlife to humans risks them approaching unsuspecting people who may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior, so they call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side).
I never knew Rocket's family was so kind
Omg Roxi has the sweetest, most expressive and sensitive eyes! She is so so so cute. This video made me cry, and melt! I’m so beyond jealous!!! Such a sweet and wholesome story though!! I love this friendship! And I love that you girls can relate since you are both moms now! Adorable ❤
I love Racoons. Had 1 fall through a hole in my ceiling in the kitchen where I had not put a new vent hood up yet. Heard one night a sound in my kitchen went in there saw a bread pan on the floor that fell off my stove. So reach down to pick it up and it moved so I moved it a little and a paw came out. Pulled it off and picked up a baby racoon. Got a baby bottle out and fed him til he was able to eat solid food. So I let loose out side. Now he comes up every night for food I leave on a table . I see him come up with 3 to 4 more at times. I just watch them through my window. Wish he still came to me but glad I let him go.
👏😻👍Good on you for not exploiting the situation! I'm very proud of you for doing the right thing & not keeping them/ using them to make a "funny video" for attention online 🥇🏆🥇
You're very sweet to do that.
I love how you are teaching your baby to love and respect animals at such a young age
What a cute raccoon. And this lady trusted the raccoon and was always there with her child and I think it's a great way to teach kids about nature
What a beautiful friendship ❤
What's remarkable & beautiful is how the raccoons demeanor changes & becomes parental & maternal when the baby feeds the raccoons!
Not all that remarkable since all mammals have similar caring instincts
Thank you so much for continuing to feed her. Beautiful story!!!!!
Im so happy this relationship blossomed after previous friends of Roxy moved.
Thank u for keeping Roxie safe and for continuing this amazing friendship 🙏🏻💙🎗️
Such beautiful creatures, very expressive.
Roxie is a baby making machine 😮
As sweet and adorable, as this may seem, it really truly is not a good idea
on so many levels
Feeding the first raccoon was already not necessary it seems like, but teaching multiple generations of its offspring to rely on and seek humans out for food is going to create future problems.
@@robertsimon-kroppmanns7287 Except we do far more harm than good to nature, so the least we can do is feed its creatures. Might as well say not to feed homeless people.
Shove off. We constantly destroy nature and nonhumans. The least we can do is feed these animals, especially when they lose much of their natural food sources because of us.
@@englishatheartThat is sooo not the same thing! This is federally illegal in the USA for many reasons. Desensitizing wildlife to humans/ pets can easily be a death sentence... for them & us. Feeding inappropriate/ contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. We transmit diseases/ illness to each other. Habituating them to humans can cause them to approach unsuspecting people looking for food/ attention, they may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior and call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side). But the hunters really love this stupidity.
Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 USA 🇺🇸 What a beautiful sight. Your dear little friend Roxie and her babies then then the meeting and greeting of your baby. Nice view. Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Roxie's a grandmother already.😄
I had always heard negative things about raccoons and their ability to get in where they aren’t wanted. Just goes to show, it’s always good to get another opinion, first handed! Thanks for sharing. They are cute, aren’t they? I hope they stay well behaved!
It’s so nice to see you interact with wildlife animals. Roxi & her babies are so adorable.
What a wonderful thing to watch. Just 2 mums sharing their babies with eachother. It doesn't matter one is human and one is an animal...being a mother is the same. All of your babies are so lucky to have you as mums ❤🙌🙏
We humans are also animals that share our mammalian genes with other mammals even marine mammals. I once visited a marine mammal rehab center and held flippers with a seal, I could feel it's human like hand under it's skin covering. All mammals including us, share an ancient common ancestor. 😀
This is wonderful! So cute and she even responds to her name! And you also realize the importance of it’s an animal that belongs with its own! This is simply adorable ❤❤
That is so heartwarming they are absolutely beautiful 😍❤️
The babies like hey Auntie ! 😅
This is so sweet 😂lol the dog looked so confused as to why Roxy was getting all the treats😂❤blessings.
Aww so sweet 2 moms hanging. Out ❤❤❤
gorgeous. very special bond of trust.
That's amazing being mothers together and sharing babies
Beautiful relationship ❤❤❤
I love how Roxie’s daughter does the same thing with her own kids
Yep, perpetuating the dangerous cycle 😬
Imagine having a litter every year. Really leaving her mark on this world ❤
At this point , humans had messed up so much animal habitats that we NEED to help them now.
This doesn't actually help, even she literally said, "You really shouldn't feed wildlife." It desensitizes them to humans/ pets & can be a death sentence. Feeding inappropriate/ contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them. We transmit diseases/ illness to each other. Habituating them to people can cause them to approach unsuspecting people looking for food/ attention & they may think that they have Rabies bc of their unusual behavior and call the authorities to deal with them (read: murder them to be on the safe side). This is why it's federally illegal in the USA.
That warms my heart so much. I love raccoons which makes it so much better.
Your baby meeting Roxie, thats the trust u returned to a wild lil raccoon, who came to trust u so much she brought her babies along. ❤
Roxie is pretty much endorsing her babies to you to ensure that they still get fed even after she’s gone. What a special bond you have.
How special this bond is it made me cry and smile.
She should plant fruit bearing trees in that area for all seasons.
Commenting so that the woman in the vid can see this
Yaaaa RABIES
I know so scary. It's like those people who feed the wild monkeys when they go on vacation.
@@SusanChristmas no its like when people feed raccoons in raccoon taritory and rabies .... is that a monkey?
You can buy treat vaccines for rabies. We used to spread them on our farm,and New York State, air drops them every year.😒🤗
@MichaelKurse That doesn't make this behavior any less wrong. It's federally illegal to feed wildlife in the USA (& many other places) for many good reasons.
She’s beautiful and gentle.
Roxy and babies have better manners and are more civil than most people I know!!!
Most precious!
Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you for your kindness dear lady.
Thank you for caring about them 😘
Love comes in many forms❤
Those littlest babies certainly will depend on you for the lack of food in the wild. Those little one's certainly would make it without you. Blessings✨to you for taking care of Roxie and her babies.
Wow, they are all beautiful gorgeous animals.
This is what I call sharing the Earth❤
Beautiful.
Raccoons are so misunderstood. 😕🤗
It is so wonderful to see you teaching your child to love, respect & care for the wildlife as well as nature.
Having lived in the mountains for a lot of years, I became acquainted with many wild animals including raccoons. It's not wise to feed them or to allow young children around them. They can be very vicious and destructive. They are really cute to watch BUT they are wild animals! ❤
👏😻👍Yes! It's even federally illegal in the USA (& many other places) for many good reasons.
The OP literally says, "You really shouldn't feed wildlife." (Then does 🙄🤦♀️😬)
Roxie & Brittany 💖💖
This is such a wholesome video. Kindness is a universal language. Brittany has done a great job ❤🤩.
Very cool to see the baby feed the raccoon. The trust that surrounds them is tangible.
If you're friends with a raccoon, you'd better get it vaccinated against rabies.
I used to have a pet raccoon he was the best pet ever I love them his mama got killed so I had to bottle feed him we found him laying next to his dead mama so we had to save him he was the only one we could find I don't know what happened to his mama 😢
You're just lucky that it wasn't from Rabies 😬
To commune with nature, and it's animals was THE Eden in the Bible. It's inherit in us as humans to cultivate, help, manage, and love these animals. This is proof that even after Eden we can STILL do this. Very sweet guys!
I love the fact she kept feeding Rocket when she didn't need to takeover the ex-owners duty. God bles.🙏🙏🙏
It may be the Environmental Science major in me, but this feels just as it should be--teaching children stewardship is so significant to the future &it is heartwarming to see Mothers support each other...even if it looks a bit different!
So cute!!!
she is showing them a food source. Now you can never move.
I love this! I know people say not to feed them, but the only reason they're known as "trash pandas" is because they go through people's trash when they can't find anything to eat. So by feeding them, you're helping them stay out of trouble. 😊
Awesome 👍
I have a feeding station behind my little house in a big city....within view of many neighbours windows...a stray kitty and a few raccoons come by...mabey a fox or possom too....i DARE my neighbors to say something to me, lifes rough! Especially for little critters, a free meal is the least we can do for taking up THEIR space....i feed the squirrels too 🤭 i just love them all 💚 if i could get them to come in my house? I would! Lol ALL OF THEM ❤ i have milk replacer stashed away too if i ever come across a baby in need 🤞🤞🤞
I don't know where you are but that's federally illegal in the USA. Desensitizing them to humans can be a death sentence. Feeding inappropriate/ contaminated food can cause illness or even kill them.

And you "dare your neighbors to say something"?!? You're just like the new b!t(h that moved here & did the same dam thing even though we all warned her. Now we all have a rat infestation & bear problem (who may be put down bc of it 😿).
AAAAWWWWW BLESS HER LITTLE BABY HEART!!! This just melted my heart!!😊
Cuteness overload, when she Became a mommy she told her mommy
I love feeding raccoons they're so amazing, always feed wild life, always, survival is hard as it is
Be very careful that your child doesn't pick up raccoon droppings, which can be full of roundworm eggs.
😺👍They can also have Rabies, etc. and become territorial or get aggressive if you don't feed them (enough)... among other things.
It's federally illegal in the USA (& many other places) for many good reasons.
Yes, true... also roundworms can enter our bodies by walking barefoot on deer droppings
She's showing them around 🤭🤭
"See kids, and THIS is your major food source for the future, always remember to be polite and cute! Be nice to the human lady, she didn't get lucky this year, only one of her litter survived. Show some compassion!"
🤭🤭
This is like a real life fairy tale❣️🤍. Oh my goodness I love it👏🏼😃❣️
As adorable as this may appear, this behavior is extremely irrational and dangerous. Those raccoons are not kittens. They are wild animals governed by instinct survival instinct…. Those animals could possibly have rabies or ticks that carry Lyme disease or could behave violently by what they perceive his threatening behavior…. Even people with veterinarian knowledge or veterinarians themselves wouldn’t advise this behavior nonetheless have them around the children babies actually.😢
I had a raccoon mama who was blind. She brought her baby by to my house when she'd come for dinner. The next night she brought all 7 of her little ones. I had them all at my house every night eating hot dogs, pb&j's, grapes and cookies. I live in a suburb close to Chicago and I enjoyed them!
Imagine looking forward to this every year 😊
This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a while
"You shouldn't feed wildlife, but it's okay for me, I have special reasons." Here's the truth: It's okay to feed wildlife. Just remember that as you befriend an animal that you also know that you are partially responsible for it too. Just like with pets which require almost 100% human care, a wild animal you befriend will trust you and you have a responsibility for that trust. Notice it's always those people who are actively interacting with wildlife, feeding and petting and so on, who will tell everyone else they shouldn't. It's hypocritical and a form of superiority. It's okay to feed wildlife, just be aware of their needs and the dangers - like getting bitten. If you feel it's wrong to feed or befriend a wild animal, don't do it! But let everyone else make up their own minds.
I've got a wildlife degree and wouldn't advise to feed wild critters, but sometimes circumstances arise that you do. It's not always hypocrisy to tell people not to do something you do. Sometimes, it's experience. I have raised Guinea pigs and horses and told people not to get those animals because they take lots of work, time and money, and a myriad of other reasons. I've advised certain people not to get a cat or a dog for some of the same reasons. It seems only Roxie and her 1 daughter are visiting, not a hoard of raccoons, so the majority are retaining stay away from humans, and no property damage is seemingly being done. So enjoy the video and stop preaching. Sometimes hypocrisy is fun.
What if you know it’s against the law to feed animals? This lady said she is feeding the raccoon because “the raccoon has already become dependant on humans feeding her”. She said it clearly and she seems to be doing a great job.
😍😍
You know, living in NYC, I've heard horror stories about Raccoons chasing ppl or seeing videos of them being violent. I've never seen this side of them. I think it's super cool, ppl can connect with animals. This was a very touching video❤.
I had a deer that would bring her babies to me.
