I can say with great certainty that my raccoons are far better problem solvers than any of my other backyard visitors - squirrels, skunks, cats and especially opossums. ID: 1355524 ·

They are pretty sturdy, squirrels and rats run along them all the time. If they bite into them they will more than likely get an irritating electric shock, enough to make them angry. Or they might learn not to do that. That looked like a lot of work for that Raccoon. It must have had a great reward awaiting it. Janice ID: 1355554 ·
