First encounter with a cute baby squirrel - Jerry Squirrel

[@pennyfields491]

I got six stitches in a finger from squirrel teeth so watch out. They are cute but watch from a distance.

[@FabledGentleman]

I Rescued a squirrel once that was trapped in a narrow drain pipe. The reward i got was a deep bite in my finger.

Attack of the killer squirrel.

[@ferociousgumby]

I was bitten by a baby squirrel when I was about eight years old. It was in a tree, "frozen" the way squirrels get, and I thought he'd be OK with being petted. He wasn't. He sank his little fangs into me but good. I had to get a tetanus shot. If a mother squirrel saw their baby being messed with, she would be within her natural rights to attack you. I realize now you've got to be careful. Acclimating wildlife to humans is bad for them as well as you. They lose their fear, and not everyone has good motives.

[@SurvivenTerry]

Squirrels wont hurt you on purpose unless your hurting them, also they have only a vary small chance of having any disease or rabies due to in part that they hide and store food and have a high adaptability rate

[@sunflowersandayellowrose1063]

I think the baby squirrel was trying to tell you it felt afraid and the "sneezing" sounded like a warning call to maybe the mother and its just quiet bc it's a baby?

[@theo7236]

If I'm not mistaken baby squirrels make that sound around their mothers. I think the squirrel imprinted on them.

[@JerrySquirrel]

We weren’t sure what the sneezing sounds meant, he was most likely afraid and nervous until he let me pet his head a bit. Then he seemed to warm up to me and once climbed into my hands, I couldn’t resist. We did leave him alone for most of the first day, but his mom never came back to get him, even when he cried out for her and we even played baby squirrel noises on our phone to lure her back. Didn’t work so we took care of him the first week inside and set up a nest in the shed for him the second week.

So far, watching so many squirrels on KZbin, this is the first sensible man warning not to touch, hug, pet, kiss squirrels (even though the woman with him being stubborn) Not only They are source of diseases but we might also pass germes to them. I’ve also seen so many people assuming their mom not in the area and deciding to “rescue”them and taking home... but not with this wise man.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

They're wild animals and rodents at that. Cute as can be, but potentially dangerous. Look but dont touch

[@JerrySquirrel]

HAHA Thanks! I was just trying to be careful for the reasons you explained. Stubborn woman is right!

[@jerryeinstandig7996]

@@nicholasschroeder3678 your remarks show prejudice and bias.

[@mkp3824]

Yeah, unless you intend on keeping it as a pet, and they make lousy pets, people need to stop doing this stuff on KZbin, cuddling, kissing, letting the whole neighborhood handle them, even talking to them, isn't advised. You find abandoned baby, you keep it in a box, only one person handles it, and ONLY when feeding. No talking, kissing, cuddling. They let them go and they have no fear, end up being like a good kid having to live in a ghetto. They go up to the first squirrel (or person, in ghetto), thinking they're friendly and get their eyes scratched out and their tails bit off, (or sucker punched and robbed, if a kid in the ghetto).

[@sagebear9739]

I dont think disease is too much of a worry with squirrels i dont know anything humans can pass to them and theres only a few concerning things they can pass to humans but especially with one this young I think its even less likely itd be carrying anything. Only real worry would be with a bite I think, rodent bites can cause nasty infections since theyre usually puncture wounds. Still should avoid handling them tho especially if moms around, wildlife is usually pretty stressed out by human contact like this and it mightve been causing mom to hesitate with coming to retrieve the baby.

[@josephwisniewski3673]

There's a couple of months of videos from these folks. They befriended the squirrel, fed it, helped it nest, helped it reach adulthood. Reserve your snark for someone who actually did something wrong.

[@JerrySquirrel]

He would have frozen to death his first night if we had just left him alone. And it was worth the risk if you watch our other videos. We let Jerry be free to come and go as he pleased, gave him a warm and safe place to sleep at night in the shed.

[@carriefeguer4028]

That squirrel came to you for help .Should have put milk in a dropper or something it wasn't on solid food yet .That was not the mother.He didnt have a mom. If he did she would not have let him near you.The only time wild animals approach people is for help.They have a natural fear of humans.But when in danger they will approach you.That squirrels probably died.I have raised a few squirrels. And they die if they do not get milk in 24 hours.You are way too concerned about getting a disease or something. That animal didnt have a disease. If it did it would have signs of it.

[@josephwisniewski3673]

Read their summary: they did give it an acceptable formula, not milk, kept it fed, brought it indoors until it was old enough for an outdoor nest, and safe for months. Your sentiments are good, but "milk" in a dropper would also be an unpleasant death. Wrong species, wrong sugar, fat, and vitamin contents, and, of course, the need to stimulate a young rodent into urinating after feeding it. Proper formula and a little knowledge goes a long way.

[@jpallen719]

His mother abandoned him so if we had left him alone, he would have frozen to death that first night on his own. We took a chance and it worked out for the best.

Perhaps the baby squirrel was rejected by its Mother, but it for sure found the kindest people to take care of it. Jerry must have sensed that you cared for other animals (guinea pigs). * You will have a new patio if you take a flat head screwdriver and use it to dig straight down and then lift up and remove all of the weeds that grew in the cracks of your patio.

Correct me if I am wrong but that baby squirrel doesn't seem healthy and well - Even at that very young age it should be as agile and jumping all over the place - Maybe it's just afraid I am just guessing

It doesn't seem to have occurred to the fellow talking, that the mother squirrel may have tossed this young squirrel out of the nest because she perceived an irregularity in the little squirrels behavior. This happens very, very frequently as the mothers do not waste their time and resources on them. Seldom do baby or very young squirrels fall from their nest, they are tossed.

[@JerrySquirrel]

You could be right about that. I guess the mother was wrong though because Jerry is doing great these days and lives wild, doing her own thing.

This played out like a horror movie with all the coaxing to be careful and the panning over to see where the mother is. The moms are usually as afraid of us as we are of them, but they don't trust hawks and other known predators. They can have fleas, but not rabies. They can sense that a soothing voice means that there's no danger. I feel they fear us, because we are a mystery to them, since not too many humans bother to interact with them.
