id like to know this also, we get these flying big bugs that are all black with a red underside and underneath their wings...(by the way what are they and how can we kill them) once i cut one inhalf and it stayed alive so i tried painting them with a chrome fingernail polish and the 5 i did that to group together everywhere they went..why is that?

 

Nope, but I'll have to remember that if I see cotton candy on sale!

I bet peanut butter would be funny...

 

if you bore a round hole in a piece of wood, put 4 nails in the top of the wood aiming towards the center/bottom of the bore hole, and put some shiny pieces of tin can in the bottom, a racoon will grab it and when he tries to pull his hand out, the nails will catch his hand...supposedly they won't let go at all, even if you approach them because they like the shiny!

I got a pet raccoon and she doesen't care about shiny things. she likes stuff that is round, erasers, buttons, elbows, heels, and she dosent take anything that we know of. Better than a cat or a dog

 

Magpies are known to collect shiny things. Then there's the Bower bird, the male collects blue things and lines it's nest with them. The purpose is to attract a mate. Girlie birds would swoop in, eyeball the collection and decide to give it up based mostly on the blue stuff in the nest. Perhaps the coons are doing the same thing - collecting up bling bling for the coon-chicas.

 

i wonder if this is why girls like ford trucks... All the ford blue!!!

 

I think it's simpler than all that: Raccoons are a step up on Rednecks...and we all know how much rednecks love shiny stuff. Why else are bass boats painted metallic?

 

Come on... they're painted that way to attract the fish, like a big fishing lure. I thought everyone knew that!

 

Now that is funny!!! Scary too, cause I was thinking the same!

 

would raccoons steal eyeglasses
or would they break them
