A lot more fun than my kids or my dog ever had in a kiddie pool. ---

@Antonius your šŸ¦ gang would like to have a word with you. THIS is what your raccoons want for Christmas for next yearā€™s use. ---

I got mine for free from Nextdoor. If that helps. I think theyā€™re 15 or $16 from Amazon. But of course I donā€™t know where any of you are. Sorry if thatā€™s not an appropriate response? Iā€™m still learning the ropes here. ---

Yesterday was the first time I saw a Mom with her little gangsters this year, no spring time crop this year. The Frisky Five from last year was my favorite bunch and they enjoyed playing in the larger water container I had for them. ---

Thatā€™s so cool. I wish I had thought about it earlier. I love that weā€™re doing this. And that weā€™re documenting it. Pretty amazing. Strangers from all over sharing videos of amazing animals all brought together by this piece of technology. And obviously, weā€™re thinking along the same lines in other ways. Like raccoon pools. I like that very much. ---

I havenā€™t downloaded the footage yet. But I hung up a Kong, the dog toy, from my pergola. And I only put marshmallows in that. And itā€™s very fun to watch them figure out how to get it out. They are so smart. And marshmallows are their week point. But if you have extra raccoons (or marshmallows) please send them all! ---

We have a problem with overly aggressive foxes here, so we train the coons to knock on the door, trigger the cams and stand in the windows to get our attention. Then we handfeed them. Keep them fed and happy and they donā€™t destroy property or leave poop. Other than fleas and ticks, theyā€™re adorable and love being pet and cuddles. šŸ¤© We feed them marshmallows, generic dog kibble and sometimes our leftover table scraps. Nursing moms show up during the day for food to avoid confrontation with alpha males. ![20250930_153552](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/2/9/294698f006d66b638a46cc56550b50c9930ab2c8.jpeg) ---

Thatā€™s impressive! I live in the DC Metro area. So itā€™s pretty Urban here. And the foxes and the raccoons just get along. Even when theyā€™re here at the same time, they politely ignore each other. Though I wouldnā€™t characterize the red foxes in the area as aggressive at all. Terrified most of the time I think. Great picture. ---

Iā€™m in the same area, probably about 30 miles to the South down by Quantico. Kind of rural/suburban with well-spaced apart houses. I cleared the woods out back to create a field so the foxes, bears, large predator cats and deviant humans have a difficult time sneaking up on the house. šŸ˜ ![Screenshot_20251001-065932_Wyze](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/6/b/6bcc6b3c718ed00834277b7eba23dacb8196009f.jpeg) ---

> [@theprojectfox](#): > > Do you have bear videos??? No, I cleared the property over 20 years ago.

It made the news here when there was a bear at Bishop Oā€™Connell high School. Itā€™s amazing what a difference 20 miles can make! I donā€™t have a yard like yours. Pretty much all of my yard is in my video. I have a 18 x 20 flat area, Which I built a pergola for. And then I have A. Non-usable very small vertical backyard that is not really usable. So Iā€™ve planted trees in it to hold the soil from going down into my neighborā€™s yard. And the foxes and the raccoons hang out here. But I havenā€™t seen a bear hereā€¦ I havenā€™t seen a bear here since long before they started cutting down all the trees. ![Img_2025_10_02_11_02_24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/3/0/302fcbdfa1758ab9f8cebe5757ddc5ae0287b5da.jpeg) ---
