Squrrels can live nearly 20 years in captivity. Hopefully Peanut will have a long life.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

We hope so too. ☺️ 🙏

[@r.blacky341]

Wow 20 years thats a lot of time that he have his small best friends to play and cuddle him, i love this funy jorkes from the tree's! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany

[@LurkerDood]

20 years? 🤔😳😮 Great for squirrel owners 👏😁👍 I saw that opossums only live like 1-2 years in the wild & only 3-4 in captivity 🤔😳

[@shovington67]

Regardless what professionals in their respective fields say, especially in the area of human interspecies relationships and human animal bonding, the experience is of the greatest magnitude. It is a much better pathway into the soul that most things we know. The interaction is incredibly satisfying, and as you know yourself, non domesticated animals are true judges of character. The bond becomes very strong in a certain way. Because there are few others experiencing this bond, and other animals of the same kind don't often venture near, due to the wild nature. Often there are unexpected boundary issues, because wild animals don't have the inbred understanding of thousands of years of human /animal species interaction built in. I'm very happy for peanut, that you've taken on this responsibility.

[@kasey9067]

I had no idea squirrels lived that long. I hope Peanut will be with his Dad for that long, he's adorable.

I had a baby squirrel that Mom had died and I rescued the baby, he made a great pet. My squirrel did eventually run off after he found a mate but even then, he occasionally visited. Never did he bite me or hurt me, he was a wonderful pet. Love the video, so glad you saved him and gave him a wonderful home, Hello Peanut, keep taking good care of Dad!!

Peanut is not just loving, he is smart. It didn't take him long to figure out that his life with this great human is much better than the "wild" could ever be.

[@ValSempai]

I've always found it funny that we actually think that "wild" animals actually want to live in the wild. I feel like a great deal of animals can be domesticated just based on the simple fact that I believe most animals are smarter than we give them credit for. Animals know to keep going to a certain place if it provides food, they know to stay in places where they feel safe. Animals definitely know a good thing when they see it lol

I had black squirrels at my previous house. It was a reverse floor plan house, so people would come upstairs into the living room, they would go into the kitchen and look out the window. “ There’s an animal on your deck” me-It’s just a squirrel” Pause pause “But it’s black” Me It’s just a squirrel 😂 It happened every time.

I rescued a squirrel once that did the same thing. He did not want to leave me, we tried to put him out be he kept running back to me and crawled up my leg. One day he finally took off and was gone for a week, and then came back, then left again. Ever time there was about to storm he sat by the window and wanted to come in. He used to show up when I was outside, and jump up on my shoulder and sit there . As time went by , he showed up less and less often, and when he did he had a bunch of buddies with him. This was a few years ago and I haven’t seen him since. I hope he had a good squirrel life, and I hope that he by some miracle is still out there somewhere having a good time.

I would've gladly paid the fine Rocky was awesome but the DNR would have put him down.
