Mother Raccoon's Determination | Humane Raccoon Removal From Shed

[Music] there's a good chance that our interaction with her would cause her to move away anyways cuz this wouldn't be a safe place for her um so what after they you come back again yeah so when depending on whether we're going to try to get her to relocate the babies as I'm if then yeah we put babies in a and then we leave ITN we come back tomor to Che on them oh my God you leave leave right where she comes in over there probably I mean she could come in here too it's hard to say where she's coming but she'll know where to look for the baby she'll hear them hear them so mom's probably in there with them I can't see her yet but yeah that's what I saw big so what we have to look at now you can kind of see inside the shed it's a lot of stuff we don't want to disturb her yet because we just need to figure out we know how she's getting in but just write up a price for the customer get her to approve the job and then we can go in and get Mom and babies out so we'll back up for a second we don't want her to move yet until we're ready we'll close this and she said she keeps this locked in the winter so she the raccoon definitely got in from the other side where we saw the opening over there customer wants us to go ahead with the job so we're just grabbing our baby bag Grabbers I'm going to get the baby box cuz we know there's babies so we have a baby box and the extension cord for after and maybe we'll grab a a pole just in case and that should be good for for now [Music] [Music] okay let's head to the back M's definitely in there right now with the babies and as you heard with the conversation with the customer you can't really prevent her from going back under there's so many spots on this deck that would allow her to get in so what we're going to do is hopefully once our babies are out and just the interaction with us will make her want to take them to a different Den site and the customer needs to clean it up a bit so it's not as desirable for the raccoon it's going to be interesting to see how she's getting ah I just saw it Cass come back here there isn't an entrance from the bottom up she's going through this hole that tiny hole yeah look at the fur on the pieces of wood she fits in that I think she does so it's good for us to keep in mind that that's probably where she's going to want to get to if she's going to escape us um that is like the size of my fist I know but it's I I can't well I mean maybe when we get inside we'll see that the floor yeah has a hole but it's it's actually the plastic wood floor so we just found another bigger hole that makes more sense how it's a lot bigger the other one was basically the size of our fist but there was fur on it so maybe she tried to go out one time but you can see the hole and then the screen behind is pushed back so that's very likely how she's coming and going cuz the customer did say she keeps the door locked over there all winter so definitely isn't going through the front door she's getting in through another way okay so I I think the way we should proceed on this is when we get in there there's a good chance that the mother will just bolt and she'll want to come out this hole that's broken in the lattice there um and I think if if you hand a baby off to me real quick I'll run out here I'll get it on the ground for her to uh to to get as she's coming out cuz ideally we always like to yeah start the relocation process and that's happened on a couple this year yeah where the mom just wants a baby really quick yeah and if uh we establish this as the place to put the box and that makes good sense okay so let's go and see what we can do first getting the longer pull I don't have to go so close to her than she is I'm just going to gently C her come on mom so she wants to go out there we go no go go yeah come on keep it going come on Mom make some noise Make some noise go go okay get a baby get baby get a baby oh she's going up on the roof there's one baby okay so we have a baby want to bring him outside see if Mom will take him let's see if we can enourage she's not all the way out yet but here she is here Mom here's your baby come on Mom can I come out or hold the screen you can stay there starting to climb down just make sure she doesn't come back in hold try get go get your baby okay she's got her baby he going under the deck with it so you saw the mom take her one baby which is great she's now under the deck around here we can actually hear her but it's okay for now so we'll go in and get the rest of the babies it's nice now that we don't have to worry all righty let's grab the rest of the babies they super tiny less than a week old here's the first one here so cute super cute it's okay watch for Mom behind me it's okay number one number two okay and number three this one's quiet wait I want him to film she coming is she oh was that me holy that scared me that was right behind my head it with you I was just picturing her right my NE might have bumped into it all right well we got all the babies after that little scare well okay and so she used just a plastic bag for her nest which is perfect all she needs but she came in here she had a lot to choose from and she chose the plastic bag we were kneel down right here and this is where she's coming and going so that's why we got a little scared you have the grab yep yep the baby she's on the roof she to come this way is she over there bring her yep she's on this side show her she's up there here same SP same no no bring her over here way she can see her put her down on the ground right there what a good Mama going to a different spot or maybe she went there in the next [Music] which deck you going to choose Mom good job yeah decks at this time of the year are so wet underneath because of all the rain we've had um just not a suitable living quarters for her she'll have other Den sites in the neighborhood oh There She Goes she's actually traveling she's taking the baby to her secondary Den so quiet so cute just tired they're striped na s a little paws taking out he's so content he's not even crying little sleepy Gates Wildlife has partnered with realink which is a company that sells security cameras and this is the camera that we have been using on all our job sites to humanely monitor what's going on with mom and babies so when you do see those clips realink is the camera that we have been using they are 4G so it's cellular based we can monitor it from home at night and see if the mom has come back and watched her real time and this is exciting for us because we really love their product the camera actually does also come with a solar panel so you don't have to worry about it dying if it is on your home or for us at a long-term job where Mom has moved into the box this is perfect cuz we just connect it and it keeps the battery running we are excited to work with realink to continue monitoring all of our jobs and right now you'll see us using it in real time on the job that you've been watching real link has also given us a discount code for any of you to purchase from their website it is a 5% off discount code and you can find the link and the description about the discount code in our bio use that code to buy any of the security cameras it doesn't have to be this one specific and check it out okay so she has three of her babies and this is the fourth we did see her come over the fence but then she got scared and went back which is fine because we're all here and the customer was out here so we're going to place the fourth baby in the Box here we have our camera set up facing the baby so that we can keep an eye on him see the mom come back and what we're going to do is check the camera and if she comes soon we'll come back this afternoon to collect the box but if she takes a little longer we'll leave it overnight like always it is plugged in so the baby will be nice and warm while it waights and we're just going to close the lid and we'll go to our next job and come back if we need to okay so we have our camera set up in the Box we're going to leave the door open so that the light's coming in and so that Mom comes back and just sees the baby so that's my foot there and the baby's right there it'll be really cool to see the mom come back so let's go and we'll return later [Music] [Applause]
