How do you wean a raccoon?

Answer 1

If you are referring to a captive baby raccoon orphan, at about 6 weeks of age, soften some puppy chow in water, mix it with the KMR formala and run it through a blender. Feed this for a few days in the nursing bottle. Next try mixing the formula with Puppy Chow in a food dish. Poke the mouth of the baby into the mix until it gets the idea. As the baby learns to eat the solid food, gradually decrease the KMR until they are eating just the Puppy Chow. They shoukd be totally off KMR by 16 weeks, They try adding other foods such as grapes or other fruit.
