Baby raccoons must not be fed cow's milk as it can cause serious digestive problems. It must only be fed KMR - Kitten Milk Replacer. There are many reasons why a baby raccoon might nor eat. Is if too cold? Is it dehydated? Is it bloated? Has it been injured? Click on this link to learn what you need to know before attempting to care for an orphaned raccoon.

If they have stomach or digestive problems it may be the diet. Do no feed them cow's milk as they are not able to digest it. They need KMR - Kitten Milk Replacement - available at better pet shops or veterinary office. Baby raccoons are unable to 'poop' on their own and may be constipated. You need to take a damp cloth or paper towel and gently rub their genital areas until they defecate. This needs to be done after each feeding. For more information click on this link.
