awww! Sorry to hear about that. We have stray cats around where I live, and plenty of raccoons who terrorize them. I cannot kill the coons now, since it's not the season for it, so I usually use a live trap and relocate them about 6 miles away and across a river so they never show back up. So far, I relocated 10(!) raccoons, and have three more to move out of the area.

They are real pests, and will kill and eat anything.

raccoons are so evil

No.They are not evil.A girl at a camp that I worked at for about a week had a pet raccoon and it loved everyone of the campers and the staff to death.They need to eat or starve.The raccoon,saw the door thught "Food.I'll live a little longer."and ate the turtles.They are not evil but,if they eat your pet,it's still sad.

I am also very sorry for your loss. I am hesitant about keeping my turtles and tortoises outside once they are large enough. Large dogs are an extremely effective deterrent to wild animals such as racoons, foxes or in my case opossums.

A few months ago I had all my turtles out on our back patio in a big temporary tank as an indoor pond was being built for them. Our patio is encased in a screen enclosure, but just to be safe i had a screen tank top on with clips. There were 6 turtles in total all i had raised myself and all were rescues. I came out to feed them one morning a week before the pond was finished and the tank top had been ripped off even with the clips. The water was stained red.

At least 2 raccoons came in through our dogie door and ate 4 of the turtles. The remaining 2 were mauled badly but survived. One turtle in particular, Sophie, was going to be released the next month but due to the severe trauma inflicted on her hind legs she had difficulty swimming and could not be released.
