- Two terrified baby red squirrels had become stuck in a glue trap. The homeowner had no idea there was a nest in the basement ceiling before the trap was set, and carefully removed them with cooking oil before reaching out for help.
But sadly, the babies had been separated from their mother. Even their little cries couldn’t bring her back to them.
To prevent this from happening again, the Wildlife Hotline educated the homeowner about the dangers of glue traps and humane wildlife removal solutions (visit our website for details). But now orphaned, and covered in oil and glue, the babies needed help. Watch our team do all they can to save them.
Removing the harmful substance was just the beginning of the work needed to care for these orphaned red squirrels who are now being raised until adulthood when they’re ready to strike out on their own. They’ll require many essentials until that time - like formula, a heating pad, an enclosure to encourage climbing, then solid foods, and more.
Will you consider donating monthly to help raise these two orphans, along with the hundreds of babies of many species in care? You’ll be entered into a draw to win a visit to the wildlife nursery, while making a big difference in each baby’s life: torontowildlifecentre.com/orphanedwildlife
you people are angels, saving little lives, helping so many, thank you ❤❤
thanks so much. You are so amazing
Infuriating but also heartwarming. So grateful for TWC ❤ but sad these two little babies suffered so and that they were separated from their mama. I really hope the homeowner trukt understands how horrible glue traps are for any living creature. They need to be banned!
This is a perfect example of how indiscriminate glue traps are and why they should be banned. Thank you TWC for saving these babies.
Thank you
How stressful 😥 😢 OMG !
Heroes TWC❤
So sad 😢what these glue traps can do 😢
Thank you 🙏 ❤
This was so heartwarming 💕
Many years ago a Toronto downtown bank called FLAP about a bird that had gotten into the building and got stuck on a glue trap intended for mice (poor mice!). The small bird was alert but pasted down on its breast with its wings spread. It had already torn feathers from struggling to escape. We also used oil to remove the bird from the trap and it subsequently went to TWC for further care and attention.
TWC, how long did it take to clean off each baby red squirrel? Thanks so much for your dedication and loving care of our wildlife.
Just what did the owner expect to "get" by having glue trap in his ceiling?
I hate those glue traps so much.
