Mike read this post tonight so he has my request in writing to wrap them in wire! Thanks so much for your comments<BR/><BR/>Francessa,<BR/>Raccoons and wild boars and foxes, Oh My! (that won't be humorous to you if you haven't seen "The Wizard of Oz" there). Truly, your research is culminating in all sorts of fantastic info. I'm fascinated. I thought a dormouse lived only in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" :)<BR/><BR/>RaccoonLover,<BR/>You are more than kind. No, I hadn't returned to your blog because I've gotten into a pattern (that I'm trying to break) of staying up late into the wee morning hours and reading others' blogs. Thank you for the information, so much! You are so cool to change your background; I absolutely will not be the only reader to appreciate that. I'll be over in a little bit!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-69865329486211242242008-07-11T22:13:00.000-07:002008-07-11T22:13:00.000-07:00Great pic of the raccoon in the tree.

I had left a phone # there for you to call. It is to Purdue University's wildlife department. I know it's in a completely different part of the country, but maybe they can shed some light on your situation, or at least put you in contact with somebody in your area who can help. 1-800-893-4116. I spoke to Kim when I called with my problem.<BR/>Oh yes, I changed my blog template from black to white background. Hope to see you visit again.<BR/>Lisaraccoonlover1963/Lisa Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529006597210786583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-59940610025683231812008-07-11T16:49:00.000-07:002008-07-11T16:49:00.000-07:00What an interesting and to me absolutely exotic st...What an interesting and to me absolutely exotic story! Thanks for the video and all the information! It’s terrific you purchased the lot to save the trees and that you still give them top priority! I hope, plan A (the wire screening) will work, but plan B (trapping and setting them free somewhere else) doesn’t sound too bad, either. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I found out that there are now racoons in Europe, too. In Wikipedia it says, that since the mid-20th century they have also been introduced to the European mainland and in the Caucasus region after having escaped from fur farms or being deliberately released to the wild. And wild animals are moving to the big cities. In Berlin, there are between 5000 and 8000 wild boars, and between 1000 and 2000 foxes.<BR/><BR/>Maybe, there is already a raccoon in my garden?
