Tips on raising a young coon?

Today while walking the pipeline at work a very friendly little coon came up to me. Mom didn’t appear to be anywhere around and I brought him home. I had a pet one many years ago and raised him successfully. But was looking for some do’s and don’t from anyone on here with some experience in raising them and keeping them alive.

1st thing make it legal.

If it needs a bottle use kitten replacement milk..... Always worked for me.

HEALTH RISK

SEE IF YOUR VET WILL CHECK IT FOR WORMS.. THEY COULD END UP GIVING A BRAIN WORM TO YOU OR YOUR KIDS... YOU GET IT FROM CONTACT WITH THE FECES OR GROUND WHERE FECES WERE DEPOSITED

I read a woman had a baby coon and told all her friends and family about it so they all came to see it. She tried to get a rescue to take it and they found out it had rabies....21 people had to be treated for it.
