Baby Raccoons
If the baby raccoon has been seen alone for more than a few hours, it has pr obably
been orphaned. Mother raccoons closely supervise their young and don’t let them out of their sight. If the mother has been killed, the babies may wander out of the den because they are hungry. They may be crying (but not always), look weak or sickly. In this case, the babies need attention. Call a local Wildlife Rehabilitator. Do not pick these animals up with your bare hands because of the concern of rabies. These animals are the most common rabies vector species in Pennsylvania!
