Food Habits. Raccoons are omnivorous. They will eat fish, crayfish and mussels, as well as a variety of fruits, nuts, grains, other plant material, carrion, garbage, birds, eggs, small animals (mice, rabbits, snakes, turtles, frogs and insects) and most foods prepared for human or animal con-sumption.
Raccoons mate from February through March in Ohio. Males will mate with several females during the breeding season. Typically only one litter is produced each year, but there can be more. Litter sizes consist of 3 to 7 young, 4 on average. Gestation lasts 63-65 days. Newborn raccoons are well furred with their eyes opening around 19 days.
Infection rates and egg shedding are higher within the raccoon population during late sum-mer and autumn than in spring. Habitat fragmentation may affect the frequency of the disease. In agricultural landscapes, infection rates of small animals are higher in small woodlots than those in larger forest fragments.
