My First Digg Post: Pet Raccoon Care 101 (Welcome, Everyone!)

Hey everyone — I’m Annmarie and this is my first Digg post. 👋
If you’re here because you love raccoons (or you’re considering caring for one), welcome!

I’m starting a series on pet raccoon care—the real-life, practical side of it, including:

• Diet basics: what’s safe vs. what’s risky

• Housing & enrichment: keeping them busy (and your home intact)

• Health & vet care: what to plan for before problems start

• Behavior: biting, “teenage” phases, and socialization

• Legal/ethical stuff: how to be responsible and avoid trouble

If you’ve cared for a raccoon before (or you’re learning), drop your best tips, links, and “I wish I knew this sooner” advice in the comments. I want this to be a helpful thread for beginners and experienced folks.

What should I cover first: diet, setup, or behavior? 🦝
