Mailbox

[eohartman]

My parents got a new mailbox and were kind enough to donate their old one for use in the raccoon habitat (it was Dad's idea). My husband drilled a couple of holes in the top of the mailbox so it can be cleaned and drained easily and mounted it upside-down from one of the beams in the ceiling of the habitat. The raccoons LOVE it! Surprisingly, it's a huge hit! Each time I go to check on the raccoons (which is about every other day now), there is always at least one raccoon curled up inside the mailbox. Sometimes, there are two cramped in there (I have no idea how this is comfortable).

Here's a video of one of the raccoons checking out their new toy:

At night, it looks like the raccoon is levitating in mid-air.
