Spicer has been returning almost every night since recording Part 2. The bite wounds behind his neck and shoulder blades are healing. He's still considerably underweight, but remains to have a very healthy appetite. If he continues to come by regularly he should be able to regain the bodyweight. Unfortunately, we've not seen any improvement with the injured right hind leg. However, we've witnessed on one occasion where he is exceptionally quick to escape danger despite the injured leg. Injuries like Spicer's typically occurs during the breeding season where male boars viciously attack one another. We've seen a few other males who visit us show up with injuries, however not to the extent of Spicer's. 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. © Weekly Whiskers All Rights Reserved 14-IPH5
