We have raccoons here, too
I also had raccoons as pets when I was a child
When I was nine years old, my dad rescued four baby raccoons.
We kept two of them; I looked after Charlie and Ferocious for four years.
Ferocious was the nice one
We had some as well. We had one, Ben, that love sugar cubes. But when you handed one to him he would take it so hard he would bite us. My Mom made a salt cube from salt and flower and gave it to him one time. He grabbed it and scarfed it down just like before, but it was awful for him. After that he would gently take the sugar cube from your hands, lick it to make sure, then scarf it down.
Great pictures.
The same one bit down on my ankle once while I was sitting on top of their pen grooming her sister (the one in the pics). Somebody was walking by, and their presence obviously upset her, because she ran in and out of the pen in a type of frantic panic before she bit my leg, which was dangling near the entrance to the pen. That told me something about the person that was walking by at the time 
I often walked them, and she was the one that would sit on my shoulders in the classic raccoon posture, with her front paws perched on the top of my head, so she wasn't always bad
