Sea Slug, the youngest, with Tommy behind her.
It’s been a surprisingly busy fall here at the Ranch. We have an unusual number of babies still in care here at the end of October. Normally all our young animals have been released by now and are well into their fall gorging on acorns, berries, nuts and [...]

Both are doing what little raccoons [...]

Helloooooo Raccoon Fans!
As some of you know, I’ve started a business to help support Rancho Raccoon and our wildlife center, Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue. I’m pleased to report that after a great deal of paperwork, tool-and-equipment buying, midnight-oil-burning, and a little bit of tooth-gnashing, Good Riddance! Wildlife Exclusions has not only been born, but is [...]

Hi Folks,
Rancho Raccoon has just taken in three fox squirrel babies. These kids needed someone to babysit them just for a week or two (that is how we rehabbers recruit “oh, just for a few days”). Yes, that’s our sneaky way, and even I fell for it, and I am glad! Squirrel babies are quite [...]

Hola, Raccoon Fans, and welcome to Baby Season, 2009!
On Wednesday afternoon our first babies of the season arrived. Five beautiful raccoon babies, around 10 – 15 days old, just little eating, sleeping, screeching and eliminating machines.
Why do we have 5 healthy babies, whose mother obviously took excellent care of them? We have them because a [...]

Yggdrasil/Rancho Raccoon gets many calls from people who have seen a wild animal who might be in need of medical attention, or a possibly-orphaned animal. We’re not always able to tell by telephone whether the animal needs help or not.
In January 09, we will train a team of volunteers to respond to calls that require [...]
October surprise!

Just when I thought I could safely take some time off in October, Rancho received a new customer! A 2-pound male raccoon was found next to his dead sibling, who had been hit by a car. Once he came into care, we needed a pod mate for him and located another male the same size [...]

Hi Raccoon Fans,
Now that the elderberries are going to seed, blackberries are still producing, acorns are coming into their own, and California salmon are gathering at the mouths of estuaries, ready to begin their homeward journey to spawn, it’s time to say “Go forth and prosper!” to our last babies of the season.
For those of [...]

Last week, our wonderful volunteers, Julia and Eileen, released their fat, happy and confident juvenile raccoons. Sometimes known as “The Seafarers,” Sailor, Bruno, Byron and Gabrielle took to their land-based, but water-near new home with great excitement. After the long car ride, during which they screeched almost non-stop in disgust at being put into a [...]
