🦝💬 Did you know raccoons have a whole language of their own? 🐾❤️

From sweet little chirps and purrs to growls, hisses, and those dramatic screams! 😂 Raccoons definitely aren’t shy about letting you know how they’re feeling!

Here at Keepin’ It Wild Wildlife Rescue, we get to hear all kinds of raccoon conversations! Some of those little noises are absolutely adorable, and others will make you wonder what in the world is going on! 🤣

Raccoons are incredibly vocal, and if you spend enough time around them, you start to recognize their different sounds and personalities. 🦝❤️

Now we’re curious! 👀👇

Have you ever heard a raccoon make any of these sounds? Which one surprised you the most?

🐿️ Let’s talk SQUIRRELS! 🐿️

We’re curious! What kind of squirrels do you have running around your yard?

Do you see the busy little fox squirrels, the smaller gray squirrels, or maybe even a black squirrel? 🖤🐿️

Some people have lots of squirrels visiting their yards, while others hardly ever see one!

🍂 Tell us what kind you see and where you’re from! Bonus points if you share a picture! 📸

We would love to see all the different squirrels hanging out in your neck of the woods!

🦝🎃 The votes are in, and our girls have names! 🎃🦝

First, I want to thank everyone who took the time to suggest names for our three little girls who will be spending the winter with us at Keepin’ It Wild Wildlife Rescue! ❤️

I went through all your comments and counted up the suggestions, and we had three names that came out on top!

🥁 Drumroll please…

🦝 Winnie
🦝 Sarah
🦝 Mary

That’s right! We officially have our very own Hocus Pocus sisters! 🧙‍♀️🎃🧹

I think these names are perfect for our three shy little girls! I’m sure they’ll be keeping me entertained all winter long, and I can’t wait to watch their personalities come out.

Thank you again to everyone who joined in on the fun and helped name these babies! We love having you all be a part of their journey. ❤️

Welcome to Keepin’ It Wild, Winnie, Sarah & Mary! 🦝💕

This past weekend was a BIG release weekend for some of our Iowa raccoons! 🦝❤️

Here’s a video of one of them exploring and checking out their new surroundings. These are the moments we work so hard for—watching them grow from tiny babies who needed us into strong, curious raccoons ready to be back where they belong.

It’s always a little bittersweet to say goodbye, but seeing them out there makes it all worth it. 🌳🦝

Good luck, babies! Go live your best wild lives! ❤️

This is what it’s all about… Keepin’ It Wild! 🦝🌿

🦝💕 We need some help naming these three little girls!

These three shy babies are going to be spending the winter with me at Keepin’ It Wild Wildlife Rescue.

The last time I overwintered raccoons, I had three boys — Ricky, Randy & Rocket. ❤️ This time around, it’s three sweet little girls who need names of their own!

They’re pretty shy right now, but I’m sure their little personalities will start showing as they get more comfortable.

So let’s hear your best name ideas! 🦝🦝🦝
They can match, have a theme, or just be three names you love!

❤️ Want to do a little more than help name them? Sponsor one of our girls this winter!

Overwintering means months of food, bedding, enrichment, and daily care before these girls are ready for their second chance back in the wild. Every little bit helps!

🦝❤️ Release season is here!

We are slowly releasing some of our raccoons, and this part is always a little bittersweet. We’ve loved watching these babies grow from tiny little ones who depended on us for everything into the beautiful, independent raccoons they are today.

Now it’s their turn to head out into the wild and start their next adventure. ❤️

We wish every one of them a safe, happy journey and a long wild life.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to care for them, watch them grow, and finally Keepin It Wild. 🦝🌿❤️

Well… looks like we have three more babies spending the winter with us. ❤️

These three came into Keepin’ It Wild really, really skinny and are way too young to be out there trying to survive on their own. Poor little things have some catching up to do!

They’ll be safe, warm and well fed with us all winter, and hopefully come spring, they’ll be big, healthy and ready to head back to the wild. 🌿🐾

Please keep an eye out for these late-season babies. If something just doesn’t look right, reach out.

And as always, if you’d like to help us keep all these little bellies full this winter, we appreciate it more than you know. ❤️
