My boyfriend would just be so happy if he could have another raccoon as a pet. He has a permit for it and has had one before but they are nearly impossible to find. I came across a few on craigslist the other day near by but today when I went to show him it and email the person about it. The ad was gone. I have been looking everywhere and cannot find one. He wants this more than anything.

Hi again, beth911!

Long time, no see!

Would you and your boyfriend be willing to travel to get one or have one shipped to you in some way?

Thanks!

Possibly. Depends on how far or shipping when be great depending on cost. Right now money is kind of a problem but I would like to save up and get one for him if I could

How far away would you be willing to drive to pick one up?

I know a lady who bought a skunk from a farm who breeds exotics for pets. I think she said it was in Missouri -- not sure. Best bet might be to Google it and see what pops up.

You could try contacting local wildlife rescues and seeing if they can help. Since he has a permit, then he may be able to work with them and foster orphaned and injured raccoons.

Depending on where you are, there are a couple baby raccoons listed on craigslist.

baby raccoons

I had found some on craigslist and I told him about them./ it was only like 20 min away. He had his hopes uip and the next day they were no longer there. And I would have to talk to him and finf out about the trveling thing. I'm not sure how far

You're not allowed to buy or sell live animals on eBay. Pet shops don't usually carry wild animals. Animal shelters don't usually take in wild animals, either.
