Cutest Animal Video: Feeding and Weaning 5 young orphaned Grey Squirrels in the Permaculture Orchard

[@nomdeplume2213]

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]

having a baby squirrel was the best thing that ever happened to me! i love them so much! the noises they make are so sweet.

[@cito_play1221]

Well, wait for them to be 6 week, i love her, but god she's annoying😂

[@marcbridgewater1562]

You really should get out more and make real friends with actual human beings.

[@SavedByJesus-pi3yu]

@markbridgewater wow you are so 😎 cool with your comment. I bet you must have so many friends or you at least think you do.

[@SavedByJesus-pi3yu]

@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!

[@saltriverorchards4190]

I once raised a flying squirrel because my cat brought it in the house. It was still pinky stage it was so young. He was my buddy and went everywhere with me. They’re the sweetest little animals. Thanks for saving them.

[@rldickie]

I found one yesterday. Mom was dead under a fallen tree. I'm watching squirrel videos to learn how to be his mom.

[@kathyturner6177]

I could watch them all day. Just to cute.🥰

[@Internal.Inferno]

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.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Thanks for the kind gesture.

I guess the guy who couldn't open his eyes was the one that didn't make it. Glad you said it up front; otherwise I'd be crying. Thanks for the appreciation on squirrels. Just like your dandelion appreciation video.

What adorable. Baby. Squirrels so precious glad you rescued them god bless you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐿

[@sunnybelisle4007]

They are soooo CUTE!!! I've wanted to have squirrels living in the huge old spruce trees that encircle our house since we moved here over 15 years ago and just last week I finally saw a small one run up the tree right outside my den window. 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

[@danielfegley2735]

There are 3 of them coming back. These were filmed last year in early May.

[@j.rleonard8269]

They are not rodents,they are family!!!

[@amyp1930]

We just rescued one just a bit bigger than yours from the tarp on our pool. The water was very cold. We dried him off and have him under a hear lamp. He is only moving a little bit. Any suggestions on what else to do to help him survive? Thank you in advance.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

What you’re doing is good. If it’s old enough then some solid food (carrots, nuts) and water or milk.

[@chantalrochon3566]

Love, j’aime vos vidéos!

[@erikabek5085]

Heartwarming!!!

[@SD-oj2yr]

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.

[@TrickleCreekFarm]

This is a great resource, glad I found your comment here, thank you!

[@chauffeurmarco]

Je les adore. Ce sont parmi mes animaux préférés.

Good job but how did the dog wind up eating one should have made sure the dog wasn't around them

[@sharonagoren6751]

Adorable!! What was used as mother's milk replacement?

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Whole milk and added cream.

[@crystalwilds6674]

Whole milk and creamer is not recommended. Nor kitten milk replacer. Need to use puppy milk

[@nomdeplume2213]

aww thats so sad, the runt is always my favorite. doesnt matter if its puppies, kittens,pups,chicks,snakes,armadillos etc the runt is always always my fav.

[@usharajagopalan351]

Hi I found a indian baby squirrel who was just 10 days old. I have been giving him milk initially every 2 hours then 3 hrs. 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? I need help. Please

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Solids come well after their eyes are open. They need milk for all the early phase we fed them 3 times a day with milk.

[@tiarianamanna973]

Ohhhhh noooooo that is way too cute 😄🐿🐿🐿

[@gabyvansant4533]

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.

[@pornstarlivesmatter3319]

What type of milk do you feed baby squirrels??

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Regular cows milk. Not a lot of female squirrels want to be milked.

[@ontheway5446]

What type of milk . Is just a squirts formula or goat milk, etc ?

We only had cows milk.

What do you use for squirrel milk?

I think it was a mix of milk and cream to increase the fat content.

Puppy milk replacer is what I use. It is powdered…mix 1 part powder with 2 parts warm water.

[@stampinturtles]

We are feeding baby squirrels right now and my husband says we must keep them forever because they’ll be eaten by our dog if we release them. I’m hoping that’s not true but our dog loves to chase squirrels. I’m trying to keep these guys away from the other animals for now. 🙏🏻Praying they’ll be ready for the outdoors soon.
