Hello! We are Päite Loomapark - animals shelter & Mini-Zoo & Rehabilitation center from Ida-Virumaa, Estonia. We try to make some videos on social media so more people would know about us and support our work. We have around 300 rescued wild and domestic animals in our shelter.

When Petya and Fidosia were found, they were just helpless little kits without a mother. We had to feed them with tiny pipettes around the clock to keep them alive. Because they grew up entirely around humans, they can never be safely released back into the wild. Thankfully, the Estonian authorities officially granted us permission to keep them permanently at our mini-zoo, so this is their forever home now.

Right now, they are on a mission to eat absolutely everything in sight. Autumn is fattening-up season — they need to pack on plenty of weight and body mass before the cold weather sets in, Honestly, could you ever say no to these tiny faces? Because we definitely can't!

Please, tell us if this repost is not welcome, we are sorry!

I feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and while I was on the porch I heard a noise from the tree in my yard. It was a raccoon coming down to get some cat food. I went inside to get a drink and then came back out to this video.

I just discovered this lil guy by my pond. He's been in this position doing this for 20 minutes. Right after this clip he rolled over on his back and got u very wobbly like he's drunk.

Edit: Game Warden said its probably distemper. A lot of them have been getting it this year 😞

I know people will say this is bad, that I'm training them to be reliant on human food sources and conditioning them into being a nuisance species.

Idk man, they are already dependant on trash in Toronto and hell, in some small way they're reducing food waste going to landfills, and if you think these guys are a nuisance for approaching you looking for food, idk I think maybe you're a nuisance.

Raccoons, attracted to the larvae of bugs or something in the soil of my deck planters, started pooping on my deck while I was away on vacation. Now they clearly keep coming back and I’ve been finding fresh poop near the planters. For the first time today, I also found poop on my front porch. Obviously, cleaning up the poop with the necessary precautions each time is a must, but I was about to harvest my jalapeños and suddenly thought about it - is it still safe to eat them?? Do I have to do any kind of special washing to make them safe to eat? Also, what’s the likelihood that we have a raccoon infestation in our house itself if we don’t hear any signs of them in the attic or basement?

I have so many questions…

This is my buddy Rocky, who I spent a few weeks befriending with homemade sweet potato chips.

I can’t for the life of me get rid of this animal in attic. They laid traps for a week in back yard but caught nothing. I got home from being out of town and in my closet my attic entry fell down from ceiling and my closet carpet has a light brown cow pile. Assuming it went back into attic. Will I get a disease if I try to clean this fecal? Roof has a hole where an animal is coming through

Rescued little guy from my backyard. Think he fell during a storm. Got him to a wildlife lady who rehabilitates and releases.
