Well not necessarily poison. Coons supposedly can't digest them, and it kills them. I've heard it works from some folks, heard it doesn't make much of a difference from others. There's only one way to find out. But it check and make sure it's legal.

Actual monkey food. The feedstore claims they are almost pure fiber and that coons cannot digest them so it kills them. We'll know if they work once my frined pulls his next game cam pics.
Not supposed to be harmful to anything else- deer possums etc.

I'm just wondering where you find them. When I raised a baby squirrel several years ago that was one of the foods I was trying to find and all the pets stores looked at me like I was an idiot when I told them I needed monkey biscuits. LOL

I think Browns Feed in Lampasas used to have them called monkey chow. Heard coke and dcon work real good to but you don't want to leave it where other animals can get it.

Not supposed to be harmful to anything else- deer possums etc. I think they might have given you some bogus information. The protein content is roughly twice that of shelled corn, the Crude fat about the same and the Fiber content is almost identical to shelled corn.I've never used it...but I don't see anything in the ingredients that just jumps out at me. I'm not saying it doesn't work...but most of the claims I've found on the internet are "I heard" or "someone said" kind of things. I'd be happy to use it if anyone has empirical evidence? MONKEY BISCUITS (STANDARD) Feeding Instructions: Monkey Biscuits can be fed as part of a complete diet, but should not be considered a whole diet. We suggest Prairie dogs primarily be fed a high fiber pellet diet along with the biscuits. Ingredients: Ground Corn, Ground Wheat, Dehulled Soybean Meal, Wheat Middings, Animal Fat preserved with BHA, Dry Whey, Corn Gluten Meal, Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Dried Beat Pulp, Sucrose, Fish Meal, Calcium Carbonate, Brewers Dried Yeast, Salt, Dicalcium Phospate, Cyanocobalamin, Riboflavin, DL-Methionine, Choline Chloride, Calcium Pantothenate, Nicotinic Acid, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamin, Mononitrate, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Acetate, Cholecalciferol, L-Lysine, Manadione, Dimethylpyrimidinol Bisulfite (source of vitamin K), DL-Alpha Iodate, Manganous Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Colbalt Carbonate, Zinc Sulfate, Zinc Oxide. Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein 15% Crude Fat 5%Crude Fiber 6%

This is a wives tale. There is nothing true about monkey biscuits and raccoons.

Golden Malrin fly bait will kill them before they get 20', problem is, it is illegal to use for this. It will kill any animal that eats it, and can also badly hurt, or kill people exposed to it improperly. I used it for flies when we raised Ostriches.
Don't see how a high fiber biscuit could be harder on a coon, compared to some of the stuff they eat.

Somebody trap a few coons, put them in a cage and feed them these monkey biscuits. Set up a video recorder, then share the results with us.

Death from your gut clogged with fiber, I'm not sure even a chicken stealing coon deserves to go that way.

M Problem is, Monkey Biscuits have very little 'fiber'. IF they are injurious to Coons at all (and suspect they aren't) it isn't the fiber content. Generally speaking, 'fiber' (depending upon whether soluble or not) is a good thing. I have no experience with this food source, so I am waiting for someone with empirical evidence to chime in, but I have a hard time believing they would be harmful to raccoons.

I know a guy who tried and failed. As far as poisoning coons I just don't agree with it. Ring tail cats and other non target species will be killed.
