Raccoons are smart and will abuse that fact.
They are hellraiser pets.
I've read that it's like having a 3 year old child. These fuckers will rip through your dry wall when bored and will steal your shit.

My father had a retired Disney coon in, like, the 50s or so.
It did so much shit to raise it. It'd nip asses on pool chairs, harass the dog then escape into the pool and laugh, fuck with him and his parents, and apparently would answer the phone.
>a fucking coon
>smells like shit
>vectors for disease
>still a wild animal that can get triggered and attempt to bite your throat out at any given second
>dig into walls, carpets, furniture
>prone to obesity because there are no formulated diets for them on the market
Don't get me wrong, I like raccoons, but they belong in the wild.
>>2257053
Now I really want one.
>>2257256
Yeah me too.
Can they breed them to be domesticated like they did with those russian foxes?
Having a pet with hands sounds really interesting.

>russian fox
>domesticated
haha nice meme
Raccoons are only good pets if you raise them from birth and don't mind them destroying everything in your house, and the actual house itself.

There is no finer animal on this earth than the seal.

Possums are pretty chill, but idc as pets. They are more just chill garden critters. Low rabies chance, eats the bad bugs.

we had a wild one i was just feeding catfood but our dogs killed him. it was fucking brutal. first my dogs were fucking him up when i came out and stopped them, putting the possum in a 10 gallon container with a lid on. took the dogs inside. i thought he was dead until i thought "wait a minute hes a fucking possum". i looked at him again and sure enough he blinked so i let him go free but a week later i found his head in our front yard
he seemed cool and i would have liked to have him as a pet
We have more than enough domesticated species. Foxes were a nice experiment but a shitty pet. What's the point of getting a special snowflake pet?
>>2257565
fully domesticated animals are boring
>>2257568
And still they are the best ones to have as pets, unless you want something to admire in a tank.
>>2257573
thats a generic blanket statement, all animals have different personalities and there are bad cats and dogs too

fuck this shit
>>2257534
I would to try keeping one as a pet but they only live for about 3 years. It just doesn't seem worth taming a possum when it lives as long as a rat.
>>2257811
Our wild ones has the disposition of McDonald birds. They wouldn't let you pet them really but you can toss food for them to eat about a few feet away.
>>2257534
My cats kill baby possums, and we drive out the big ones. They look like rats, totally disgusting
>>2258132

PS: Rats are qt
>>2258305
This.
Cara are fucking disgusting and I am fed up with cats shitting in my lawn and the fat ones breaking my roof tilea when they jump on it.
I even bought a pellet gun to kill them. Got like 4 or 5 in the first 2 years and then they stopped showing up during day time when I'm waiting for them.
>>2258314
You sit around on your yard all day waiting for cats to shoot? Comfy life.
