Hello, I am in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.My friend's son works for tree service,they cut down a tree now there are three baby raccoons who are so traumatized that they will not eat or drink.They need a mother figure or very tender around the clock care.Their eyes are open and they can crawl.She estimates they are 6 to 8 weeks old

I am not able to help personally. Hopefully, someone on here can. If not, I attached the list of Georgia's wildlife rehabbers which I hope has not already been exhausted. Best of luck! Thanks for looking out for them.

Did you try to reunite with mom? Reuniting should be attempted three nights in a row. Place them in a low box with fleece and something warm if they can’t regulate their own heat. Cover the box with an upside down laundry basket to keep them contained but so mom can see them. Raccoons retrieve their young at night not during the day. If they aren’t retrieved by the next morning, bring them in and hydrate or feed them. They eat powder Esbilac KMR. Then the next night place them out again.
The fact that you know where their home was and don’t suspect that something happened to mom means she’ll probably return for them if they’re available to her.
