I would try a coonhide or a dead coon. Get him goin with that then try again with a smaller coon and if he dosent come around just wait till he's a little older. Your right u don't wanna force it. Good luck!

you want him to learn to chase after it and make it a game try hooking the coon tale to a fishing pole stiff enough that you can cast it .so he follows the tail and not you to the raccoon tail ,you can control the speed and teaches him to use his nose too . i agree with every one else its not worth it to force it on him he dont get fired up try him when he is older
