    i rescued a ground squirrel and fell in love with him. he was precious. after he passed my vet knew how upset i was and when an injured baby tree squirrel was brought into his office he called me to rehab it. I loved him too but we released him in a wildlife sanctuary in Colorado. that was 17 yrs ago and the sanctuary has kept track of all the 100s of babies and grandbabies snd great grandbabies hes had.

    One day my wife called me to come look at a fox squirrel by our patio with a baby in its mouth, running around in a panic. I stepped outside to discover a turkey buzzard circling above and two more babies laying on the ground. I got a bucket and placed it laying on the ground and put leaves in it along with the other two babies to hide them from the buzzard and went back inside the house to watch from the door. The mother picked up each of the babies and took them to another tree nest. When she knew they were safe she came right up to the outside of the door and put her paw on the door, looked me right in the eyes and made kind of a barking sound as if to say thank you. I am amazed at Gods creations all the time.

      @avrevs yes animals have a different kind of love and companionship that humans don’t offer. Also, when you care for an animal and they rely on you, you grow a special bond. So sweet!

    I found a squirrel, dying & on the side of the road. She had wandered very far from home...no trees and no Momma close by. I couldn't just leave her there. RSPCA basically said they would put her down and it made me cry my eyes out.
    I am rehabilitating her :) she's nearly 7 weeks and I found her at 6 weeks. She's absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to release her, where she belongs..in the trees.
    Thank you for this cuteness over load video! Best introduction to a video, ever! She loves watching her little squirrel homies. 😍 I subscribed.

I was soooo HAPPY!! So now, we'll do our best to keep it/them safe from the stray cats that frequent our pastures. Thank you for sharing this adorable video. You make a good tree, Stefan. :-D

    It is difficult to not get attached. Especially since they don't smell, and their fluids don't smell either. They're as playful as a ferret, and they can seriously force you to get organized as nothing is sacred to a rodents will to gnaw! Also, Clarissa Summers has a webpage with a formula for "nutballs," which will keep a squirrels calcium to phosphorus levels at the right ratio so they don't die in captivity.

    Not hard to tell you are just the sweeeeeeetest man, ever!!!! But one thing I have to say is, that, when they are very small and just laying in the grass or under a tree, they are most likely already abandoned. I worked with the animalambulance and had to pick up these little guys often. We brought them to the squirrelrescue, where they sheltered and later put back to the woods when they were old enough.

    I have tried fruits like apple gauva water melon. But she is not eating like a full meal.
    How do I make it eat more solids?
    Should inleave the fruits in the box with them and allow hereto eat whenever she wants and for milk every 3 hours?
    When will it be ready to be released?

    My cat alerted me to a squirrel in my house behind the armchair, it's still young and it's tail is the size of the squirrels here in your footage. I don't know why it's in the house. I spoke softly to it and threw in two walnut halves and it ate them. I have a rat trap cage but I don't think that it would fit in there. I don't want my cat to grab it. Perhaps if I put a pile of food in my cat carrier box it will go in at the right time and I can shut it in. If I let it out in the garden I wonder if it would come back in again for food. 🤔 It's very sweet.
