    About Live Free or Die:
    Live Free or Die follows five members of a remote but growing American subculture of self-proclaimed Re-Wilders who’ve vowed to leave the modern world behind in order to survive in backwoods, deserts, mountains and swamps by hunting their own food, building their own shelters, and finding their own water - using only their own two hands, sharp intuition and time tested methods.

      I've had one for about 2 days he's scared to death and I think he's missing an eye or had an infection. He's able to walk and crawl and I don't wanna pick him up to much until he's a Lil more use to me. He needs a bath and he's popped on his own twice. I been feeding him tuna mixed with formula and baby food like banana mixed with formula and pedialite. I been mixing it in a bowl and giving it to him since I'm scared to handle him to much and stress him out. Any advice is much appreciated

      ​@@MuhammadEgypttechnically your not saposed to keep them as pets but if they have no mother u can always care for them and raise them as a pet but it isn't recommended best to raise them to a certian age and help teach them how to survive in the wild and not allow it to get to attached to u. So it can fend for itself and find its own food. But they will not survive without their mother if they are under a year old

    Three days ago, I saved this poor baby raccoon. The mother got hit by a car and I could not let this poor baby to suffer. I went to store, bought KMR, did a lot of research about the right way to feed and take care him. But I also read about the roundworm that is extremely deadly for other pets and humans. There is not cure, or vaccine. Did you worry about the roundworm when you were taking care your raccoon? Can you give me any opinion on this matter. I am very scared but I would not abandon this baby. I will do what I have to do to save him. But any information in this matter would greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely Naira

    how keep and raise a raccoon
    step 1 find a egg so you can take you'll have the chance to do this when the mother gone
    step 2 once you have the egg get all the things you'll need to get this items milk cat food dog food nuts and seeds
    step 3 once you have all of this items make a bed for it keep it warn so it won't freeze
    step 4 once it comes out of the egg give it food and milk everyday
    step 5 once him/her growns up you'll need to get water and not milk
    (if it lays eggs then once it passes away you'll do this all over again)
