Use a high-quality indoor potting soil mix. Follow the directions on the seed packet or plant your starter as you would for any other type of plant. Dampen the soil after planting. As your plants begin to grow, give the pots a 90 degree-turn once a week to keep them growing evenly.
In the wild raccoons average 2-3 years as many are killed by disease, car accidents, hunting and predation. In captivity they may live 15 years or more.
Raccoons are typically from 2 to 3 feet long, 9 to 10 inches tall, and weigh between 10 and 30 pounds. Males are typically bigger than females, and individuals living in the north are typically larger than those who live in the south. The back feet of a raccoon are larger than the front feet.n the wild, however, a life span of 2 to 3 years is more typical. Diseases, accidents, and the impacts of large predators (like great horned owls, hawks, eagles, bobcats, wolves, cougars etc) and human hunting and trapping are typical causes of death in a raccoon population.
