If you found a baby raccoon in your home and you think that it has been abandoned, you may feel like you have a responsibility to take care of it. Before taking matters into your own hand, you need to try to reunite the baby to the mother raccoon. Reports showed that the baby has a higher chance of survival if it will be raised by the mother raccoon. However, if you don't have any options, there are still some considerations that you need to make before you feed the baby raccoon.

What Should I Feed the Baby Raccoon?

If you think the baby raccoon has been orphaned for a long time, you may want to start with a Pedialyte. Originally, Pedialyte is a drink that can effectively hydrate infants. You can purchase it at your local drug store. While it may be designed for human consumption, it can also be practical to use on dehydrated baby animals. It is vital to rehydrate the baby raccoon first before moving to the milk replacement formula.

If you are looking for actual food that you can feed to the baby raccoon, you can use a kitten milk replacement formula (KMR). It is the closest that you can get to the milk of the raccoon mother. You may purchase this at your nearby pet store. A good alternative would be Esbilac; it is a formula intended for puppies that can also be used on the baby raccoon. Avoid giving them milk; most kinds of milk that are consumed by humans (i.e. soymilk, goat milk, and cow milk) will make the baby raccoon sick. It may lead to malnutrition, severe dehydration, and death. Before feeding the animal, be sure that you prepare all the necessary supplies, such as a heating pad and towel that will keep them warm. Pet bottles and eye droppers for feeding them are also essential. As a replacement for the heating pad, you can use a bottle with warm water.

How Should I Feed the Raccoon?

When feeding the baby raccoon, make sure that it will stay warm first. Remember that baby raccoons can also die due to hypothermia. The baby raccoon will find it hard to digest the food if it does not have an ideal body temperature. Place a blanket inside the box and put a heating pad under it. Wait until the body of the raccoon feels warm before you feed it. Check for signs of dehydration by gently pinching the skin of the baby raccoon. If the skin remains erected after being pinched, it is a sign that the animal is severely dehydrated and should be taken to the veterinarian immediately.

The amount that you need to feed the baby will depend upon its weight. An animal weighing 60 grams should require 3ml of formula per feeding. The requirements increase as they become heavier. Use an eyedropper when feeding them. It will help you control the amount of fluid that is entering their mouth. Hold it at a slightly upright position. Avoid holding it like a human baby. Once it becomes larger, you can now use a pet bottle to feed it.
