Betty for the first time has introduced us to her new two kits. They're very mild mannered like their lovely mother.  One of the babies wasn't feeling confident enough to figure out how to get down from the high rail. Mid point you'll see Betty doing her hula wave (there are a few videos of her showing her learning/doing this trick). 

We rarely see Betty nowadays so she's likely staking out new territory with her babies. We're glad she's doing well (she is the sole survivor of three orphans we looked after throughout 2012) and is an attentive first time mother. We sure miss her now that she's decided to venture away further with the kits for weeks at a time before returning. 

NOTE: Our rescue raccoons resides in a region where there hasn't been a case of raccoon rabies for over three decades which is tracked by the local public health department. 

We are fortunate to be able to observe and professional work with a variety of wildlife species since we reside next to a protected wildlife preserve. Our rescue raccoons lounge and play on our terrace as well as use it as a thoroughfare. No children nor pets are ever harmed, especially the wild animals captured in these videos. 

Please note that none of the raccoons are our pets thus please follow your local wildlife guidelines for the safety of humans and animal wildlife alike.
