Are these raccoon proof

99.99999999% in my opinion. The raccoon cannot open the door themselves. Because the door only opens when your pet with the fob on their collar has to be within 2-6 feet of the door for it to open and the door stays open less than 10 seconds, it would have to be a pretty brazen and smart raccoon to follow you pet in.

Yes unless you put a collar on a raccoon you will be fine. The door timer can be adjusted and once the animal with the collar goes through the door closes immediately and anything else that tries to come through, the door will close down on them deterring them from entering.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.

I would sure think so. The door is made of Lexan do it's very stout. The only way they could get in is with the dog and his collar.

Of course, it only operates when the dog approaches who is wearing a collar to enable the door to open.

Hello, I have not used it for that purpose but it doesn't have a lock or snap feature and it does open up very easily so I am sure that raccoons will surely be able to get in!

It seems to be raccoon proof so far. Though we weight the run down with paver stones and have the back side (the door to the coop) pushed up against our yard barn so that the raccoons cannot open the handle. We have seen muddy raccoon prints on the side of the coop, so we know they are trying to get in. We like the coop, but you will have to take extra steps to keep raccoons out if you have them around.

We have 2, and we do not have a racoon problem where we live. They open rather easily, so i would assume a crafty racoon would have no problem- although rain has not been an issue.

I would not consider it rodent, raccoon, or bear resistant. The old GI steel ammo cans will be more reliable for your purpose.

I can only advise that my experience with these units have been good. I have 2 setup in my backyard and they have effectively kept the raccoons and deer away. I suspect they would be effective against possum, as well.

Since we don't currently have raccoons here, I don't know if it would deter them.

They rust a little but didn't cause any trouble. They coat them in wax to keep the human scent off them. We haven't had to do that, the coons just reach in there to get the bait.

We buried ours into the soil a little bit. We have never had a problem with rodents. Smart raccoons have gotten the top offeven with the locks! At least we think they're raccoons haven't actually seen them.

Yes, they are "so far" weather proof. The pigtails are even silicon-ed from the factory.

Joel, We had two chickens in our Eglu Go. I would not put in more. Raccoons figured out how to open the big door. Omlet now offers a new lock so if you have raccoons buy the lock. Ann

I have put bricks on top of the lid to discourage raccoons in the past. Bungee cords help. Now I have a chicken wire enclosure. If the contents are strictly plant material it also helps discourage them.

I think so. It is very VERY sturdy. I have caught both raccoons and squirrels in these.

Don't know about raccoons, but we bought it so birds wouldn't fly over our pool and drop "presents" in it...will let you know in the spring if it works...great conversation piece regardless! We based our purchase on someone else's review for the same purpose, and they had success! It IS noisy, so that fact might deter raccoons.

Haven't used this box for that....but I definitely wouldn't. Raccoons are actually quite smart about getting things opened and getting into things you don't want them to. You need something with a lock on it, for outside !

No problem with critters; instead, a problem with the dry New Mexico climate. Couldn't keep the worm's soil evenly moist, even with the bins in the shade. I think raccoons would indeed be a problem, but you can defeat them by anchoring the lid down with something--and making sure the legs are stable so the 'coons can't knock the farm over.

Absolutely. These are tough boots. They would be 'coyote proof' if not snake proof.
