With baby season almost upon this, found this hidden keepsake moment of Betty and her two kits, Grendel and Greta (seen hidden under the chair at first). Her adorable hula moves which can be seen in this video as well as in many other videos of Betty who stole our hearts. This was taken in April 2016. Betty unfortunately had passed away a month later in May 2016. She showed up quite emaciated due to a broken jaw. We were not successful trapping her as we had hoped so that she could get medical treatment and subsequently we never saw her again. Her two kits were orphaned too soon to be independent. However Betty knew by leaving them in our care knowing they would have a chance. We've been helping them this past year and lately have begun the weaning process during the autumn season so that they can learn to become successfully independent. 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
