No rabies in wildlife in this area, thank goodness, just canine distemper. I had not thought about putting worm medication in their food, but the raccoons don't come indoors or have direct contact with me. I keep my hands off, because I have not seen any touching or grooming happening between the raccoons, and I don't think they would understand my human desire to stroke their fur!

Raccoons groom each other when they are snuggling down to sleep. They don't usually do it when they are competing for food. They lick themselves and groom themselves like cat does. They even purr like a cat when mom or a sibling is grooming them.
