That is great none of our squirrels will get that close to me. But they do get free food!

Here’s the food that’s good for them, if they have teeth , don’t do a bottle she says. still give some fruit and veggies a long with the pellets.
she recently released a mink, and has a blind in one eye Opossum rite now, but Fox squirrels are her fave, she is registered with the the DNR.
he was hungry and cold when I found him, I’ll post some pics up of the progress.

One last pic. I had to put him out in the shed the las few nights I had him he smelled so bad. He just peed everywhere. She gave him a big blanket, he liked to be all covered. He would let yountouch him, but he really didn’t like it. Lol
he really just would eat, then sleep.

Update, my daughter named her peaches, it was the first thing she ate, it is a she, peaches may be blind, she had her out of the cage and she doesn’t act right she says. She’s going to have a vet give her a once over. Maybe that’s why she was abandoned.

Ah poor Peaches, hope if she's blind she can find a home w/the rehabber or someone else to let her live out her life. Is that allowed by Fish and wildlife. I don't know the rules.

She releases her animals on a 30 acre wooded area, a few years back, Annie was a successful release there, she has has like 3-4 years of babies
Its possible I could make a cage without a door, if she can see enough to find it. I could house her by my patio.

Once she released a woodchuck, it was still rather friendly, her daughter found it dead in the yard. She took it in the vets office to try to see what happened, it choked on a walnut. It was stuck in its wind pipe.

I got a text from my squirrel rehabber, it seems that squirrel i recently found is retarded. She’s trying to figure it out.

Something is Deff wrong with it. Perhaps why it was abandoned. It did bite her good, lol. It never bit me and I did handle it.
let’s see what happens over the winter.
