  • I found a baby squirrel in my back yard and moved it to my deck with a baby gate (to keep away from cats) in hopes that the mother would come find it. She must have been looking for him, because within 10 minutes, she started scoping out the area and planning her rescue. Though the baby does not look very active, I think he is scared because he seemed healthy but scared.
    I apologize for the dog barking (so reduce the volume if using headphones or if you have a dog around that might go crazy!!). Since I was filming with my phone in my hand, there was no option to move my dog and be able to keep filming.
    Thanks for watching!

    The people who disliked this have no hearts. This is a beautiful moment. I may never find someone to have a kid with but I do know that having one is pure joy. That mama squirrel has her miracle back. I'm so glad

    Thank you for giving Mama squirrel a chance to come back and get her baby. So many people don't wait long enough to give a mama squirrel a chance to realize one of her babies is missing. They don't realize that mama squirrels don't hang out in the nest most of the time but are mostly out looking for food. They only come back to the nest to clean and feed their babies a few times a day.

      +yelloworangered if a baby falls out of nest, put in dogs and cats. give moma squirrel time to find her lost one(s).
      two babies fell out of a hole that lead into my attic. two story house. moma came for them and had to make a 10 ft jump off of ledge to reach the hole. with 2nd baby squirrel, mom fell twice, but never let go of baby. finally she got them in the attic.
      once they were all out of attic, i had hardi plank installed.

      In some cases isnt not always best to try to wait for mom to come around. When you don't know how long the baby has been without food. My family used to find baby squirrels often and it's a matter of how hot/cold it is, how weak the baby is, ect. It's really a judgment call based on common sense.

    I remember during Hurricane in the 1/2 time quiet, son went outside ! I told him to be back in as it will turn back, he brought in two baby squirrels we kept them safe in an aquarium all cuddled up in a blanket !
    Hurricane finally over and sun was up ! Opened the front door and babies were crying for their momma, we took them outside, put aquarium on its side and soon enough we heard excited chirping from mamma! I was amazed she came for them !! The three darted off

      It was rolling the baby to see it was OK - they do that to check for broken bones, etc., before carrying them away. And the tail-wagging showed that the mamma was frustrated and upset. Squirrels communicate with their tails so all of their different tail movements have meaning.

    • @bernadettecartin
      @bernadettecartin 5 років тому +3

      If you notice, they don't hold the baby by the scruff of the neck like cats. The baby holds onto the mother`s neck or wherever they can grip, with all four legs, and she holds on to the baby's side. It makes the baby easier to carry while negotiating tees etc., especially when the baby is bigger and heavier. Sometimes she needs her mouth free to grab a branch so if baby is holding on it helps.

    I love the way momma rolls baby up into a little ball with her hands and mouth, then grabs baby's neck and tail at the same time. Seems like a great way to make sure you can safely climb back up the tree without baby falling out of your grasp. Amazing little critters! Thank you for doing the right thing and letting momma come get her baby instead of deciding you needed to "save" the baby and take it inside. Too many people think baby animals are abandoned and interfere instead of letting the parent come find baby or placing baby back in the nest when it is a bird or bunny. It's nice to see someone recognize momma WILL come looking.

    very smart ... great going sally! i wish everyone would do that. so many people take them to rehabbers, or inside, and then the mom can never retrieve them. unless the mom has gotten killed they usually know their baby has fallen and do everything to get them back ... if you just give them the opportunity. so sweet to see them reunited.

    really neat how she rolled the baby into a ball to carry it up the tree. I love Squirrels.

    What a good guy you are. Wish they had stayed on your patio. It looks like paradise compared to where she was headed.

    What a lovely lady you are. It's a real shame that the media doesn't show more of the good that is happening throughout the world, especially as we celebrate the birth of Christ at Christmas.

    Amazing! I had no idea mama squirrels would look for their missing babies. I would have thought they would just think a hawk or something got them and go on with life. Great to know. Thanks for sharing this and for your willing and caring heart to save a life!
