lisamariewillbe 1 #1 December 29, 2005 Theres a big sounding animal in my fireplace... it appears he or she is on the little thingy that blocks the chimney from the stack thing... should I pull the lever to let the little or big guy fall down or do I just let him stay there and make a bunch of noise ?????Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markd_nscr986 0 #3 December 29, 2005 You're going to have to get him out some how........and I for one would hate to tangle with a pissed off/panicked raccoon........on the other hand, maybe it's just a squirrel....... A call to the fire dept might be in orderMarc SCR 6046 SCS 3004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocheese 0 #5 December 29, 2005 get a big fish net then open the lever. Have the door to outside alread open. Scoop and run toward the door. Then let us know how it went.Poor guy is all sooty and needs a bath so have the hose ready to rinse him off.It's probably a bird, could be a racoon. Santa ?

Rebecca 0 #6 December 29, 2005 Call Animal Control if you want it to live without giving you rabies. Or, just wait a few days until you can't hear any more noise. Then pull the lever. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashtanga 0 #9 December 29, 2005 Get down on all fours and bark like a dog to try to scare him and then stand up and put your hands in your armpits and start walking around quacking like a duck and then go to the kitchen and right die on a popcycle stick and shove it up your ass. This should solve the problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #14 December 29, 2005 As much as I dearly love raccoons (I feed wild raccoons every night), if it is a wild raccoon in your chimney, you don't want it inside. They are among my favorite creatures, but they are truly dangerous animals. I'm with Rhonda Lea on this one. Call Animal Control. Having said that, I will admit to being a total hypocrite. I would open the flue just enough to try and see what kind of animal it is. I don't recommend that you or anyone else act as retarded as I do, though. edited to add: This is raccoon mating season and they can get really mean this time of year. If it is a pregnant raccoon looking for a nice cozy place to have her young, making some noise by banging a metallic object (like a wrench) against the flue would probably get the raccoon to look elsewhere.
