the fact that mabel returned to your place to have her litter was awsome. proves that you all are family.
Yes! I agree.

and the most exciting things about it, it makes her a grandma... LOL...
Heart warming ❤️❤️
Amazing, we are living together. Maybe, this is how life should be. Why shoot everything that is beautiful? Love is better.
Always nice when your baby brings the grandbabies to visit.

🤣😂funny but so true
That's probably more than some humans do.
Visits to grandma's house are always a happy time. 😊
Exactly, now the thing to do is be a proper grandma and fed all the grandkids ton of sweets (or raccoon equivalent of that) before sending them home lol 😂
I love that Mabel came home to have her babies, where she knew she was safe. And then bringing Daisy back for snacks shows this is that safe and cozy place they will always return to. I'm grateful they were allowed to leave to be raccoons and not kept indoors as pets. I know it had to be tempting to have those amazing, little creatures always around. But they belong in the wild to be raccoons, and they belong at home for snacks and love. Best of both worlds. I hope to see grandbaby raccoons on a The Dodo video soon!
mabel trusts her humans so much. she definitely knew that she can always go back there and get spoiled with all the food she wants
The fact she came back to give birth there shows how much she trusts her and feels safe & secure there.
That's exactly what I thought.
Exactly.
I have rescued rehabilitated and release over 15 baby raccoons! And a few of them still come around to see me years later. They are absolute amazing creatures and I still had the most amazing videos and photos of how smart and loyal and loving they really are
They're SMART SOBs, all right! They'd regularly open our backpacks in Boy Scout camp... :)
Thank you
That is so so sweet of you & may God bless you entirely. In Jesus Name. 🥰✌🏾
My mom raised a raccoon named karma he lived up into his 20s before he was hit by a car but he would visit mama every other day.
I watch videos of people letting their dogs attack raccoons and it makes my blood boil to no end. I could never hurt a raccoon.
Too cute. She knew she was safe there, best feeling you can have after caring for them
There's nothing like knowing that no matter where you are or how long you've been gone, there's still a home to go to and someone there for you.
Really cool. Mabel can enjoy the best of both worlds.....the free, wild world and a safe home (with snacks) when she wants to. Sweet story.❤️

@@AxxLAfriku Lol, you are the most famous man on YouTub. But unknown on CZcams.
She came back home to give birth, such a human thing to do
Actually, lots of animals will do that.
Also a salmon thing
Except most humans these days goes to the hospital..
Or maybe humans do animal things.....
Lol that’s more of a “humans showing animal instinct” than animals acting like humans
Aw. She loves and trusts you. What a gift.
Sometimes I forget how many humans are amazing beings, then I watch a bunch of your videos and I'm reminded of what the human soul is capable of. Thanks for your work!
She came back to have her babies! That's so adorable. She feels the most safe there and knows here babies will be okay! Oh my heart
Juvenile raccoons, like human kids, just can't wait to get out. But, if they were raised LOVINGLY, they usually return for food, help, and (yes) even your company. Especially once they have babies of their own! I speak from experience.
With "experience" you mean raccoons or human kids? lol

@@mikef2811 Wow! I didn't know you knew my kids.
Aww, you're a grandma! Shows Mabel truly sees you as her mother, and I'm glad one of her litter survived. Hope the others survived and got a home/territory of their own
this is like the relationship i want with animals, simi independent but close friends
This is the best airbnb ever for these cute lil critters. Indeed it's assuring knowing that they'll always have a safe spot to return to anytime 👍😁
Iepmfudons
Raccoons have rabies, they're not welcome around my yard. They're pests
It's such a huge compliment that she trusted you enough to give birth there. That's a huge thing for a racoon!
My Claire has a special box I built for her ( in case she couldn't compete with the really wild ones.) She lives here year round, but interestingly - another female I raised ( and released a few miles away) they both share this box for having kits, and then my big trees. Not sure how they work out whom stays where, and at what age - but I definitely know the Moms, and see their kits (when they are little.) Harrowing when the Moms trying to teach them to not trust humans, and they can't wait to come down and eat their treats. I love them endlessly!!!!
That's a huge thing for any animal really - including humans (since we are mammals).
This story is so heartwarming. Thank you to Whitney for creating a safe space for this family ❤
Mabel is a representative of the racoons community - she has enhanced the prestige of her community .
That's a perfect situation for a wild animal. To be able to be free, yet have somewhere they know to be safe and welcoming, especially when babies are involved. That lady must have a huge heart, because wild animals, when they're rehabilitated well (and it certainly seems that way given the others' normal disappearance), they don't usually return to the human territory. But they know when they are with good people, and sometimes that allows them to trust the one who cared so well other for them. It's the biggest compliment nature can pay to you, IMHO.
Check out Racoon Whisperer on CZcams
His come back for years, then they vanish, nature tells them to move on. But he loves them and they trust him, he feeds them by hand. Ive raised many a racoon, wonderful critters, and so trusting after a while.
The problem is that we can't communicate that we're open to that kind of arrangement with the wild animals
I really have immense respect for these people who rescue and save wild life. Feel they are a whole different species of humans
@@dachstheonehighest kind is those that rescue other humans selflessly
You must be so honoured that Mabel chose your safety to have her babies. One of the best stories ever. Trash pandas are so pretty.
Great job. I raised a raccoon 30 yrs ago. Found him in a hollowed out log when he was 1 month old. Kept coming back monthly for 6 yrs. Then he just stopped. Always wonder what happened. At least he had a chance at life. Would do it again. Nature needs help sometimes. People say don't interfere with wild animals, but I feel we humans make them have a tough life by deforestation. Love your posts. Keep being you .❤️❤️❤️❤️
Six years is a very long life for a raccoon in the wild. Living about twice as long as he "should" have done is probably down to the care you gave him when young and the little extras he got from you throughout his life. Transforming the entire life of a free wild animal is a great achievement. If jealousy was fatal I would now be dead.
Much respect to you
You did well
When she said “Noo, my 24 hrs surveillance is over” I almost died laughing 😂 🥲 that’s provably the same way I would’ve reacted!! 💕☺️
So cute ❤️ I once had 3 raccoons that would come to look in my window. I would give them seeds & nuts. I named them Peepers, Jeepers & Creepers. Then they came with their babies..it was an awesome time. Later they moved on. TY for sharing.
That is such a beautiful thing that she came “home” to have her babies. She loves and trusts you!! ♥️👍🏽♥️♥️
So sweet that Mabel came back to have her little ones… it shows that she feels most safe there.
That is just outstanding that wild animals will come home cause it's safe and they love u
It's always beautiful to see humans taking care of and living peacefully with nature.🥰
I found a raccoon that had either been hit by a car or in a fight & his side was all split open and his leg was limping. I called wildlife but they never returned my call. So since this raccoon was out during the day I knew he wasn’t rabid he was just desperately looking for food. I continue to give him food and water & Little by little he did get better and healed up. I can never resist feeling anything but my neighbors don’t like it, so unfortunately I have to contain myself. I would even feed wild fox & they were very gentle. It’s sad that we’re taking away all their habitat. 😪
@@sunnydaze2359 Well,you did a really good thing!!My neighbors aren't crazy about wildlife either. I put food out at night so they don't see it and its gone in the morning. 😊
@@helenpruzan6970
I tried doing that too but, because I live in Florida & I have a lot of palm trees in my yard what I attracted were palm rats (that live in certain palm trees ) so I had to stop leaving food out at night . 😱😂🙄
@@sunnydaze2359 Yeah,thats not good!!😅
That's what vegans do. They have empathy and respect for all sentient beings and have aligned their actions with their values. 🌱
Racoons are so sweet, beautiful and playful. They are a little bit like our kids 💝.
Mabel is such a sweet girl and I am so happy and thankful that she and many others were saved...
That she is bringing her babys back to you says all...
THANK YOU AND EVERY ANIMAL SAVERS YOU ARE THE BEST HUMANS 💝🐾💖🐾💝
Omg Mabel she left got knocked up came home!! 😂😂. Fact she came back shows how safe she felt with you. You did an amazing job!! I love animals so much!
_"It really fills my heart to know that_
_they have a little safe spot that they_
_can go to when they need it"_
They still come back because of the kindness you have shown them ❤️
I have ponds on my property and tons of wildlife. I love them ALL. The raccoons are my fave. One day a regular showed up freaking out coz her face was stuck in a jar! She passed out, fell in the pond ,& started to float. I went in, waist-deep, pulled her out, wrapped in a thick fluffy blanket, got the jar off and did chest compressions. That's right. SHE IS ALIVE TODAY. SHE VISITS EVERY EVENING. I know it's her coz she know has a lil hairless spot on her nose from her trying to get the jar off her head. THEY LOVE US - IF YOU WILL ALLOW THEM. ❤️🦝🦝🦝🦝❤️
You're an angel.
This is a beautiful story and thanks for stepping in and helping. I hope the raccoons can discern between who might be a danger and who is not. Also, I would like to see humans and animals co-exist together in a way that we do not harm them but help them when in trouble and just be respectful of their life because their life matters too!
The raccoons are adorable. Thank you for taking care of them. God Bless you All
"Fills my heart that they have a safe spot to go to if they need it" This is the best spot between humans & racoons. Great job!!!
Yup. This happened to me. Except…. The two we released would break into our house, steal food, break eggs all over the floor… destroy our fridge and house and the sleep in our drawers. Bahahaha. Honestly. I wasn’t even mad. But my brothers were. So we ended up setting up an area outside for them and feeding them to keep them from going inside. It worked. Once they fully matured and started having babies and stuff. They stopped coming around as much. They still lived in our garage but they became way more independent once they weren’t interested to come inside or be around humans. Lol. I learned my lesson on how to handle raising orphaned wild animals after that. (My brothers and I were 10,14,16 at the time)
😅🙏
What a lovely "come back home" experience they have - with good snacks, love and attention. You're a good mommy!
You are beautiful for caring for the ones who can't speak for themselves and need a little help and human kindness.
Oh my gosh just so cool that they kept coming back like that. Thanks for sharing their story it's so precious.... Well for the past week I've been seeing a very large raccoon coming in my garage to eat the cat food. So I started putting all the cat food up he doesn't seem threatening at all. I mean I can tell him to leave and he will. But I'm very scared of him but he is just so big and beautiful. And yet just like clockwork he's there every morning trying to get into the garage... I have no experience with raccoons and I really don't know what to do because I'm afraid somebody will hurt him so any advice I can get on what to do with him would be very much appreciated.
Every once in a while (not often) a racoon will come by to eat the leftover cat food outside (where we live, it's okay to feed feral cats). We live in suburban southern CA--it's NOT okay to feed racoons in parts of southern CA (like Los Angeles)--not sure about our area, but we don't deliberately feed the racoons. We have noticed that (very infrequently) a racoon will dig in our flower beds, and wash in the birdbaths, but that's maybe once or twice a year. There are also coyotes in our area, and maybe they keep the racoons away? You should keep your garage door closed--racoons can cause damage if they get into your garage or attic/crawlspace.
This is a "YAY!" story of ever there was one!! 💕🐾💕
Aw that's so sweet she went back to her mom's house to have her babies
I love seeing them eat grapes they seem to especially enjoy those
Oh my goodness! This is just absolutely beautiful too watch. How amazing that she had her babies; and even though she was free in the wild, she still came back with one of her babies, to enjoy a snack, a warm space, etc. I wish every animal would have this, a kind of a BACKUP plan and a safe place with food. Truly amazing. 🦝🦝🦝❤️❤️❤️
i love racoon, they re so cute . i wish i could have them one day
Just make sure that it's a baby, otherwise the wild instinct never goes away. You definitely don't want one angry or afraid of you.
@@jorettafullington9017 hahaha sure
I have 12 little bandits..new babies on the way..Spring has sprung in Geneva Florida. ✨💜 🌴🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝

Oh I love this story...she knows she will never be hungry and you are home to her. Her safe spot. They are so adorable.
Mabel feels safe with you. How beautiful. Raccoons are great companions when rescued as young.
They know that they have a forever home to return. And mommy will always be there for them. Beautiful story of you and the racoons.
Greeting from Holland 🎈🎉
Turminha linda demais.
Thank you for helping them when they needed help I think it's awesome that she comes back and brings her kids back she considers your family you were there when she needed someone and she wants to show you what she's done with her life thank you
Oh that's so sweet! She trusted that this was safe space ❤️
I am so glad that people like you still exist in this world!!!!! We want more videos like this, please!!!
Lucky raccoons!!! Lovely!
Love it.❤ Mabel knew exactly where to go to be safe to give birth to her babies!
Such a beautiful thing to have seen today! And the comments section made my heart all swell up! It’s refreshing to see a positive and relevant comments section!
WOW! She came HOME to have her babies! You did a FANTASTIC job! Really beautiful creatures. I have a huge male that lives in a Cedar tree in my back yard. I love seeing families of them at night. Thank you for sharing these delightful critters!
Aww what a beautiful story. It's so heartwarming how you raised Mabel from a baby, and then you had the privilege to watch her raise her own babies ❤
This makes me very happy to see because I have a similar situation. The first year I came to Texas they had a very bad snow storm. During that storm I met Raku. She was young and on the thin side so I fed her. Each day she came back and we have been doing this for going on three years now. She is very healthy now and had one baby which I named Raisin. Once Raisin became an adult he went off on his own but Raku still spends time here and gets nutritious food when she needs it.
They look so harmless and friendly
This is one of my favorite ideas here on CZcams. I used to foster wild Racoons and Opossums and they did the same to me, they would goes off but come back when they are hungry. Now my mom at the house I was born and raised 20 years later still has Racoons and Opossums visits and will occasionally have babies in the same cages their Grandparents had their babies in.
That is so fantastic! You are so lucky and so are they. That is just such a beautiful thing
What an awesome story. Got generations of raccoons over there. Everyone is the good friends. Hope it continues. Was fun to watch. Great video
Oh this is so adorable! This makes me miss the raccoon I took care of for years and I named her Roxy and she had two litters of cubs. When we moved of course she stayed behind in her habitat. I'm worried about her. She's so precious and these are as well and God bless you for taking care of them! They are really cool creatures!
God bless you for saving & raising these precious babies & loving this beautiful family 👍🙏❤️
I've had generations of these amazing bandits for the past 5 years visiting me every night. Anyone who gets to experience these amazing animals will be forever changed. Wild yet so intelligent and friendly to humans they trust.
They take food gentler than most dogs.
I have had a mama raccoon for 14 yrs bring me her new kids ...she was a very gentle animal. I have been feeding raccoons in my back yard for about 20 years...they come nightly for food...very beautiful creatures. I would buy 40 lb bags of dog food which they love and it's fun to hear them all crunching away.
That's not true, because raccons only live about 2-3 years.. But say what you wanna say.
@@crystalmccraw8268 I beg to disagree...this one did...
@@roseangela2797 Alright, Im fine with that.
@@crystalmccraw8268 Thank you..this mama was unbelievable..she was well fed and so was each litter that she had... God Bless.
@@roseangela2797 God Bless you too!
Usually I'm not ok with ppl feeding wild animals but this is really good thing they still wild enough to get food on their own but still know they have a safe place to go if needed. U did a good job! ❤️🥰
I raised several raccoons in my childhood and remember all those wonderful times with much fondness. They are amazing creatures.
So cute and thank for saving them

@@Rprq-my8cz I just thought he, and others that say hello, were trying to get into her pants.
The sounds they make are the cutest, god bless this man for helping them.
? It’s a woman who saved them.
What an honour to be a safe spot when needed
Too much adorableness going on there!
We don't have Raccoons in Australia so I've never seen any in the flesh.
Those dear little clicking noises they're making here not to mention what
looks like making biscuits, just like a cat? I had no idea! I have a bad case
of *Raccoon envy!*
the chirping "clicking" noises are really only made by them when they are babies.
here is the more general/inquisitive tone,
but they do have a higher pitch and more rapid "clicking" when they seem more panicked (like if they are separated and can't find their mom)
and a slower, more drawn out tone (which sounds sadder) when they are scared, or lost but staying in one place (rather than the faster tone if they are still searching but lost)
the adults don't really make any noises (audible to us at least) except a more barking snarl if someone gets too close to their food, and a noise that sounds like cats fighting if they actually get into a scrap (but not the hissing cats do)
and attitude wise they are a bit between dogs and cats, they like to play and get attention, but don't seem to need it 24 hrs a day like some dogs do (unless they are still being bottle fed then it's every 2 hrs)
I've had a similar experience with a wild possum. I've never had her in the house or a cage, she just showed up on my porch one night in February 2019.
I gave her some cat food, and she has been coming back almost every night since then. She has had three litters of joeys in that time, and some of them have found their way to my porch. The mother puts up with them for a few months, then tells them it's time to stay away, especially the male joeys.
That's one smart raccoon. You have safety and protection for you and your family by setting up shop there. 😁☺
I love it. That's so cool that she felt so safe to come back there and have her babies and continue to return....
You are the type of people...that makes the world better. Thanks.
Looks like you'll have racoons forever, litter after litter. No matter how many make your back cage home, Mabel will always be your favorite. You're special people.
You taking away my grandchildren bring them back bring my grandchildren back🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣beautiful❤❤
Raccoons are lovely !!! 💖💖💖. Thank you Whitney for fostering and caring them so good 🙏🌷
Yep! They always return. I was gifted 2 batches of babes by the mother. Fun to watch their development but as soon as nature calls, they are on their way. Each mom brought back their kits to show me! Wonders of Nature. 🥰
Raccoons looks like tiny dogs with hands.
What a beautiful, heart-warming story! Mabel loves you so much and trusts you implicitly, obviously. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story with us. I hope you and Mabel and Daisy have many more happy, healthy years together!
How heartwarming. Mabel is such a cutie! How neat to see her have little babies of her own.
How Sweet🥰🥰🥰
I think it’s amazing how the raccoon visits the lady. Normal raccoons probably wouldn’t do that!
Wow 4 likes in 3 minutes? Cool
SO KIND OF YOU TO DO THIS...THIS IS SO PRECIOUS AND SO ❤ HEART FELT ❤️...🙏THANKS FOR SHARING!!
Thank You for being a GOOD person.
I used to feed a mama raccoon and her babies one summer. Every night I’d leave a big tupperware full of cornflakes and milk on the porch and sure enough, it was always empty the next morning.
you shouldn't be giving them milk, raccoons, like most animals passed baby stages, are lactose intolerant, and the babies have a much better source from their mom.
fruit like bananas, grapes, even avocado is great, eggs (boiled and shelled is fine if you don't want the mess), nuts, and dog food too
I loved this!! They found a great person to raise them up so well. 💗
Thanks, I needed that & bless you for being a good substitute racoon mom. The world needs more people like you.
What an angel you are for taking care of these beautiful little creatures!🙏💙🤙Most people couldn't be bothered with raccoons they get a bad rap generally but not to you.... kudos to you for being such a special person! 💕
Soooooooo A D O R A B L E 🥰 I love raccoons!
Djinn? Ooo I'm scared.
Me too ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful job. More humans like you in this world, please.
You are such a beautiful person! Thank you for taking care of these amazing creatures! Every year a wounded mama raccoon shows up outside our house with her babies. We can't take them in but we always feed them until they can go off on their own. Can't imagine how incredible it must be to literally be their mom and raise them! I admire you very much for all you did for Mabel and her babies. :)
I love raccoons. I used to feed a couple with a baby. They knew me and showed their heads looking for me. Adorable.
Those babies are sooo cute, and they grow so fast and become strong and independent~
Mabel and Daisy, as well as babies!! amazing~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
