How to Find Baby Raccoons for Sale

Pet raccoons are considered an exotic animal by most states; therefore, to own a raccoon, you may be required to obtain an exotic animal handlers license or permit. Be sure to check the exotic animal regulations in your state before buying a baby raccoon as a pet. Even with a permit, if you bring the baby raccoon in from out of state, the raccoon will need to have a health certificate and veterinary exam paperwork to enter the state.
