Sweet Betty showing off her hula dancing moves. Her kids, Greta and Grendel are trying to mimic her but not sure what's all the hoopla about. Betty unfortunately had passed away sometime in May 2016. She came to us emaciated with a broken jaw. Sadly we were not successful in trapping her to get medical treatment and with heavy heart never saw her again. Her two kits were orphaned too soon and even though she was injured, she brought and entrusted us to help her babies. Beginning this autumn, we've begun the weaning process so that they can learn to become successfully independent. This footage was taken in February 2016. 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 16-IPH6SP
