I have never given them the chance, but my neighbor had all her penned-up quail killed by them and I have seen their paw prints all over the turtles' nighttime pens. (I put plastic on the pens during the cooler months.) I know people who have had their turtles killed by raccoons. The ones near me are big enough to pass for toddlers I would never give them the chance to injury, kill or mess with my turtles. Tess

>>Tess, have raccoons ever gone after and/or injured any of your turtles?

>>I know that we certainly have raccoons and possums come in to the pen here, but they have never harmed a turtle. They seem to be most interested in the water, as they drink and then leave.
