Essential Neonatal Raccoon Milk Replacer for Wildlife Rehab

Every wildlife rehabber knows raccoon season hits fast and hard. When the first orphaned neonates arrive, you do not have time to experiment with formulas. You need something consistent, digestible, and designed specifically for the species in front of you. Fox Valley Day One Formula for Raccoons is one of those products we keep on hand every single year because it works when it matters most.

This formula is designed specifically for neonatal raccoons in the earliest stage of development. Proper nutrition during those first critical weeks directly impacts hydration, growth, immune function, and long term survival. In our experience, starting babies on a species appropriate formula from day one helps prevent many of the digestive issues we see when substitutes are used.

Why Species Specific Formula Matters

Raccoon neonates are not small puppies and they are not kittens. Their nutritional requirements are different, especially in fat and protein balance. Using a formula designed for raccoons supports steady weight gain and healthy development without overloading immature digestive systems.

During heavy intake season, we go through about a bucket a year. That alone tells you how essential it is in real world rehab settings. When dozens of orphaned babies arrive within weeks of each other, having a reliable milk replacer ready to mix is not optional, it is critical.

Real World Rehab Notes

• Mix according to manufacturer instructions and adjust gradually based on age and condition.
• Always monitor hydration, stool consistency, and daily weight gain.
• Proper temperature and feeding technique matter just as much as formula choice.

No formula replaces good husbandry. Tube feeding skill, sanitation, and careful monitoring are what truly save lives. This product simply gives you a solid nutritional foundation to build on.

Who This Is For

Designed for licensed wildlife rehabilitators, permitted facilities, and trained neonatal caregivers handling orphaned raccoons. This is not intended for untrained individuals attempting wildlife care without proper licensing and veterinary guidance.

If you handle raccoon intake season every spring, this is one of those staples you do not want to run out of.
