      it's a shame because wild animals that grow up with humans being their caregiver actually associate themselves with being a human given their upbringing so releasing them into the wild means that they don't know how to associate with animals of their same species or breed with them.

      Speaking what was on most of our minds. And to add to that...Chris went about it the right way. To not rehab it to eventually become a pet, but to eventually release it back into the wild.
      I Guarantee it was damn tough on Chris to say no to Acorn wanting more family time and staying inside their home. But hey, the outdoors are his home, and little Acorn learned that.
      You know that Chris missed him once he didn't really see ol' Acorn outside. But seeing that nest made his fricken day.
      Like a Walt Disney ending that Acorn built his little squirrel house inside of Chris's property.

    How sweet! I had found a baby squirrel years ago, nursed him with an eyedropper as you did, named him Rusty. Anyway, he used to sit by the door and wait for my husband to get off work, he knew the exact timing! He would run up his pantleg and crawl up to his shoulder and sit! I let him go finally but I still used to call his name, after so long, I never heard from him. But one day I called his name and I heard a noise on my neighbors roof, looked up and there was Rusty wagging his tail and chattering to me, I was so happy and then out of the blue another squirrel showed up at the top of the roof and they both slid down together to the gutter, just like a chip n dale cartoon! It was sooo cool! Rusty found his Love and came back to show me! Your story brought me back such a fond n lovely memory, thank you! Had to share mine!

      I found a squirrel a month ago...and I did everything you did.he was just 4 weeks old ,he didn't open his eye.i named him batman . Batman passed away a week before ,he had bleeding in the anus .I'm so traumatized. He was just a month old ... My aunt said that he died because I closed his home ( a box) too tightly.... I guess I killed him unintentionally.... I killed my own baby . 😖😖😖 He was so cute ,I had a lot of future plans to do with him when he opened his eyes😖 everything goes in vain.

    We rescued three baby squirrels one year. What a group of characters they were! We had seen an adult squirrel dead in the road and then a couple of days later found little baby squirrels that had gotten so hungry that they climbed out of the nest. We gathered them up and fed them in our enclosed back porch for a couple of weeks and then they were ready to go off into the world and live the squirrel life. It was great fun caring for them.

      Not really.

      Your language, Polish, is a Saxon one, so its not strange that it would not have some similarities, especially when you factor in geography.

She'd come onto the porch for a handout but she wouldn't let us touch her. She lived in a little wooded area nearby for the next 3 years then we never saw her again and assumed she'd lived out her life.

      They will be friends for as long as they both live I'm sure.
      Often with wild beings that you form a bond too in ways such as this, they never forget and while one might see less of them they can, when you least expect, come around to hang out a bit.
      Its awesome.
