Surrey Wildlife Control: Do Raccoons Build Burrows?
With nimble paws and strong forelimbs, raccoons are good at digging. However, they do not use this ability to dig burrows underground. They do make dens in which they take shelter, usually only for a few days at a time but longer if a female is raising offspring. Raccoons typically maintain several den sites within their territory at one time, which is good news for raccoon removal because it means that once the raccoon is out of your home, it has somewhere else it can go right away.
