The mating period of caged raccoon dogs is consistent with the time of oestrus of mother raccoon raccoons. In Northeast China, it is from early February to late April, and some of them begin in late January.

1. Estrus identification

The commonly used methods are external observation, test and microscopic examination of vaginal secretions, which are the same as those of mink and fox.

2. put it in the right time

Raccoon dogs are usually mated during the day. Especially in the morning and evening when the climate is cool, male raccoons are more energetic and libido, and female raccoons' estrus behavior is obviously easy to facilitate mating. The specific time is 6: 00 in the morning or 8: 30-10: 00:00 in the morning and 4: 30 in the afternoon at 5: 30.

3. The method of putting it right

Raccoon dogs generally adopt the method of artificial alignment and observation of mating, and when put correctly, female raccoon dogs are generally put into the cage of male raccoon dogs, because male raccoon dogs are more active and their sexual desire is not suppressed in their familiar environment, which can shorten the mating time and improve the efficiency of mating. However, when the male raccoon dog is violent or the female raccoon dog is timid, the male raccoon dog can also be put into the cage to complete the breeding work. The way of mating is generally in the way of continuous mating. That is, after the first mating, there will be a few days of mating until the mother refuses to mate, which can improve the birth rate. Matters needing attention in the alignment: correctly confirm whether the mother raccoon dog is really matched and pay attention to prevent each other from biting. Take auxiliary mating measures if necessary.
