Little man caught a raccoon

Wouldn't you know 5 days after his coon hound ran away we found a raccoon on the porch,Little man set the TLC trap and caught him last night.This one does not seem to be as aggressive as the last one we caught.
Ive got a question for all of the raccoon experts here the first raccoon we caught had skat that looked about like cat droppings this ones scat looks like loose potting soil.....which is normal?

From what I have seen I am going to say it normaly favors the potting soil type.

It depends largely on what they have been eating.

Nice picture and congrates on the success..... sorry the dog ran away . The potting soil tubes are more typical for coon dung but as was mentioned it does vary by what the critter has been eatting. Take precautions to protect yourselves as racoons carry diseases and one such is transported in their waste. Hope all the future indevers are this successful. Trapper
