Rescue Baby Squirrel goes Outside for the First Time! (Episode 4)

[@justinharper6909]

We live in the Black Forest and we have hundreds of squirrels on our property every year and have taken almost a hundred of them to the vet because of fractures over the last 25 years. They all recovered under surveillance of the vet, they are strong little warriors

[@KarlBunker]

Wow. Seriously, good for you. 👍

25 years in the forest, observing forest inhabitants and plants - you have a huge amount of knowledge!

I spent 10yrs in the Royal Marines, served with 42 and 45 commando units and here I am at 71yrs old crying like a baby while watching your beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing Dani. ❤

Crying means you have love and emotion, they're signs of strength and empathy

@@philiplewis957 I've always loved animals and I hate to see them suffer.

[@annetteu.7226]

I almost started crying when you said someone suggested Roo to be euthanized… 🥺He is so incredibly lucky to have you and Juan as his „human parents“ 💖🐿🌿

[@Mr.P.Griffith]

We raised an orphaned squirrel last year. It was such an awesome experience. As a family we gave it our best and she gave us a lot of great memories and photos. She hung around pretty close to our home for the first year but since we don't have many squirrel friendly trees, she ventured off on her own for the winter. She comes back every few weeks to say hello but is now completely wild and is thriving in the neighborhood at a distance.

[@znail4675]

That sounds great and it's not unusual for Squirrels to make friends and come visit regularly, that even happens with squirrels grown up in the wild.

[@Porsche9174Ever]

Roo is so so lucky to have you both!

[@lisamiller4312]

I loved how Roo licked your finger and how you gently put him to sleep❤ I'm so glad you didn't listen to the 1 vet. I'm very worried about Roo's next video. I love him so much❤❤❤ For better or worse, I'll be waiting to see how precious little Roo's story goes.

[@sp-1973]

Oh my gosh, what a rollercoaster of emotions, I'm absolutely smitten with this beautiful baby❤❤❤❤❤

[@Rainy_Day12234]

Looks like he’s going to need your love and attention forever.

[@contessalouannec8064]

Beautiful animal. Thank You for caring and sharing.

[@kristin-happytexan]

No matter the outcome, you've both been wonderful parents that have gone above and beyond for a beautiful creature.

What a rollercoaster this video is, and then the cliffhanger at the end 😱

[@adrimathlener8008]

It feels like raising a child. The both of you doing a good job. Roo will pull thru

[@hariseldon2450]

So Roo was a girl. I'm glad to hear she made it through the swedish winter. Can't wait to see new episodes of her and maybe her family.

[@avgdeagling]

With everything that's going on in the world, it's good to see something like this and to know that humanity still has a place after all.

I'm sure beautiful things like this happen all the time, they just don't make the news.

The little guy doesn't seem to be having any luck, I really hope he's as resilient as you say. One thing is for sure: he has the best chances with you two!👴🙏🤗

Ooh poor little guy 😢Thank you for sharing this Dani, it's beautiful ❤ I hope this story has a happy ending!

May God bless you for being so kind to an very cute animal

[@michaelmottlau5941]

Dear Dani, thank you for giving us this wonderful insight into the life of a squirrel. The video is so well produced on so many levels. I love the editing. The music and audio, are so balanced and subtle. You're an empathetic and knowledgeable storyteller - and it is so captivating and educational listening to you. The camera work and quality of your high quality camera and lens makes it a joy to watch and enjoy. Happy New Year😊

[@patriciavlahos2167]

Thank you!!! ❤😊

[@thexfile.]

I hope everything ends up ok. It breaks your heart when something you care about is hurting.

[@oakleyjack7600]

Sorry this experience has been stressful to you two but know that Roo loves you both for all the care and attention that you have given. Hoping for a good outcome 👍🐿️

[@snakebezant]

What delightful, beautifully made videos. How sensitive, and insightful is her commentary

[@davem1564]

Dani, after watching this video, it made me realize that Rue is turning somewhat domesticated even though he is still wild. Rue depends on you and your husband for food and being protective. It’s not a bad thing and I know that you are trying in every possible way to keep the wildlife instinct there but Rue will always know where to turn to and that is you and your husband. Great episode and I hope I’m wrong. Bless you both 🙏 and thank you for sharing.

[@gemf1704]

Dani you showed him love, warmth and kindness he is so Lucky 🍀 he is so happy because of you ❤❤❤

I’m just glad he came home to you guys and hopefully there is a good outcome. He’s an adorable floof that’s for sure. ❤

[@richards200]

Oh you can't leave it on that cliffhanger, me and all the reindeer here want to know that he's ok 😁

[@luvtheus]

This one really tugged at my heartstrings. My little grey squirrel rescue is now around six months old. I found him when he was around a month old when a wind storm blew him out of his nest. I released him 14 April this year. I go down by the creek where he seems to hang out alot to feed him everyday. If he isn't there I call for him a he normally comes running for his pecan or walnut or whatever I have for him. Sometimes he follows me around outside doing yard work or while relaxing. I believe we are very bonded to each other but really think I am a merely food dispenser in his eyes. I call him Murphy and he knows his name.

[@lisam3879]

Watching from South Carolina in the United States. Roo is precious and you're giving him a chance for a normal life. It's amazing that you've done so much for him. Prayers for sweet Roo! 🙏

[@47Robby]

Wauw!! what a respect for mother nature.

[@jojoba11]

Oh my God, Dani. This is such a rollercoaster. I can't imagine your worry while all this was going on. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@robsollart2580]

I doubt he's ever gonna be wild. He is now your child. You gotta love him.

Oh no, Roo sick! Thank you so much Dani, for your relentless efforts to re-wild Roo and filming some of the most heart-touching shots I have ever seen! Keeping fingers crossed that the next episode will turn out well. Roo is such an adorable little guy, how can anyone not love him?

[@TomMaynard--TCM--]

I laugh, I cry, and I hate when each episode ends. Thank you for taking responsibility for Roo, for being such a good 'mom', and also for documenting the journey. Your photography and cinematography are lovely. I have made a similar journey raising a baby bird 'Cheevey," for the sound s/he made when happy. I dug up most of my yard, finding worms and grubs for feed, after weaning, and later made several trips to the woods until one time Cheevey never returned. Visiting the woods thereafter, Cheevey would return the call, until ultimately only silence. this 💗

[@kingaa7]

My heart melted when he fell asleep in the hat ❤❤❤❤

[@g4p5l6]

Reallly enjoyed this. Great to see him with that antler- good for the teeth, good for the calcium. And 10 days to heal! Amazing.

[@lindseytaylor1522]

It's just so emotional watching, let alone being his helpers, you must be exhausted. Yes always good to reach out to multiple people ie vets. You are doing an amazing job at re-wilding him. Hope he gets better......❤

[@wolfman3295]

Watching you and your boyfriend massaging Roo to sleep is so beautiful and precious. No surprise at all that Roo loves to play on moms office chair. I can totally appreciate you and your boyfriend introducing Roo to his enclosure then when he had enough he just wanted to go back home...just like parents taking their kid or kids out to play. It was really wonderful to see Roo recovering so well! The glimpse of your next video looked really sad with Roo getting sick but I hope he heals and gets well again. Roo will probably never be able to be fully released to the wild because he will always want to be with mom and dad. That antler was a great idea! Thanks so much for this wonderful series.

[@ElMariachi1337]

Wonderful animal and a wonderful story. You also got a very calming voice which is great for these nature stories! Keep it up and I hope Roo survived the cold.

[@jv7070ful]

[@stephanechoofnature4384]

I wouldn't be surprised if Roo contributes sounds to Dune III 😁 Interesting to see how strong Roo's bond is with you two. And how cute he falls asleep 😍 A bad setback with his leg 😢 And the teaser to the next video doesn't sound good either. I'm very excited! Another very nice video! Thank you so much for letting us be part of it.

It's almost as he wants to stay with you guys, maybe you went too fast. Idk. I laughed so hard though, when you played that lullaby song during the "you tickle him to sleep footage". All the best!

[@delilahboa]

You both are incredible people and I’m in awe of everything you’re both going through and doing for this beautiful squirrel……we feed wild squirrels and 1 of ours called Cyril, turned up one day almost torn to shreds, he couldn’t use 2 legs, 1 in the front, 1 in the back, we have no idea what happened, but the damage was extensive, he’d stripped off his fur cleaning his wounds we couldn’t get near him to help him, we were devastated BUT within 2-3 weeks pretty much all his wounds - and he had deep lacerations - had healed over, and he could use his legs and within a month to 6 weeks you could barely even see where all the damaged skin had been because his fur had grown back ……we never underestimate a wild animals resilience either now…..thanks again for being wonderful human beings and we’re glad you got multiple peoples advice too xx❤xx

[@SLDM1962]

WOW! Did he recover from the illness ? Please post the sequel !!

[@OpZoe]

Mother abandoned dehydrated with fleas. Eyes not open. Many hours, months brought to health. Had a bit of a runny nose often but acted fine. Would fall asleep instantly when I flipped my tshirt up over her, like a pouch on my stomach. Sweatshirt, blanket. She never did leave to the wild. Had a big cage/house inside my home. Door never closed. Many many years later passed away. Was difficult but, what a life experience. The love that my "Moony" brought was amazing! I love Squirrels and been watching your story from the beginning. Hope he makes it through! Peace to you. Washington State

[@barbarossa4868]

Nature is my refuge of peace, where the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds create a symphony. In the midst of this green canvas, squirrels dance with contagious joy, reminding me how beautiful it is to appreciate the simple wonders of nature. Her playful energy brings my heart into harmony with nature.

[@studiocelestedesign]

Oh no! Gosh, I realize the story is already told and waiting on your laptop since the season is the summer, but oh I feel for you and your partner having gone through such a roller coaster with this sweet little cyclone! Kisses to Roo; dear I hope you have 9 lives like a cat and recover very well; the love and care you've been shown is mighty.

Roo.

[@mandysmith7619]

Bless him, I guess we have to remember his memories of outside were sad.... loosing his mother, then his siblings...falling out a tree and hurting himself. Poor little mite....but as they say it's ultimately slow and gentle wins the race...as his outdoor excursions increase so will his inner squirrel instincts..which essentially I know happened as this was back in the summer and a successful release is what happened. I am like everyone following you very proud of what you've done, and I'm sure you'll always be in his memories, I seen so many versions by other people and some were even lucky enough to have their rescues come and visit them now and again, even better one female about 2years after release finally came to say hi and Even brought her very own brood to visit the family who rescued her. This is how our relationship with wildlife should be...we are the world's caretakers and we need to lovingly step up to our responsibility.

[@chrishiking8818]

Truly amazing wonderful experience, he is so beautiful. Really enjoyed your videos and love the videos over Rue , wishing him well and total respect to you young lady giving him a life.

Sorry, Rue is your child, I was reference to human offspring. You will be a totally amazing mom!

[@Frostie3672]

Your right wild animals are so resilient but sometimes the injury is just too much, that was the case with one of my visiting wild hedgehogs just before Christmas here in the uk. I noticed on camera he/she wasn't using one of their back legs very well, couldn't walk very fast & wasn't interested in eating at all. I took them to a local wildlife rescue & sadly the x-ray showed a severely broken pelvis so the kindest thing to do was to put them to sleep. They must of been in so much pain, hence the lack of interest in eating but despite having a broken pelvis this poor hedgehog was still trying to carry on doing what they do every night. I'm just glad this hedgehog visited my garden so I could intervene & help as it would of had a slow horrible death out in the wild otherwise I expect.

Well i started watching, and then my life got in the way of watching the rest of your film Dani, and today i can sit down and watch the rest, when you said something bad happened, you could have hit me with a ten ton weight, but thankfully in the end with your care, and not forgetting you're other half, the little guy pulled though, they say the Human body is an amazing machine when it comes to illness and accidents, how it mends its self, but animals are also amazing in this respect, they have to be, but you can't help feeling for the poor guy falling out of a tree, his leg, falling in the house on his nose and of course losing him mum! Can't wait to see him next time and you of course!

You have taken care of this little baby with great love 👌👍. Like all wild creatures I think squirrals have natural instincts and intelligence.

You too are just amazing. Roo had me in tears when he broke his leg, so I can't imagine what it must have done to you. Roo is both incredibly unlucky, but also incredibly lucky. He has his two human parents on his side. Well done you two & thank you.

[@francoiscastilloux]

Poor Rue! I hope he's healing all right. I wish the best to you, and Juan for caring for this indeed unlucky squirrel. It's maybe not the best time for you guys, but I need to point out something about Rue's enclosure. I come from the country in Ontario and your enclosure and type of wiring do not protect him much from some of the wildlife here. Where I come from, just a small weasel can chew through the ''chicken wire"" you used and/or dig under the wooden frame. Bigger wildlife will do bigger damage. As Rue hopefully continues to occupy his enclosure, more his enclosure will collect his smell and the leftovers of his food and presence. It only takes one small hungry intruder going through to change everything. Depending on your surroundings, please consider adding reinforcements. Best wishes!

Suggesting to put an animal down that shows clear signs of will to survive is just wrong. To be fair, it was a remote over the phone consultation, but nevertheless, an animal that wants to live should be helped to survive. Love the caring and effort you guys put together, from the very beginning when Rue was found, building the enclose and helping him recover from the broken leg. Truly inspiring

Brilliant, as always from Dani. Cannot wait for the next episode when the big release is gonna happen. Impressive cage build. Ruben has faced challenge after challenge in his short squirrel life but he seems to come back on top every time. Now with a caring loving squirrel mum in Dani I am certain he will end up king of the tallest tree of the forest in the end. I am so waiting for the happy ending. Exciting, enjoyable and relaxing are these shows from Dani and her genuine passion for the wild animals cannot be mistaken. Beautiful close-ups and realistic sound effects. Second me, pure magical wild-life photography you will find in this channel. Special thanks to Juan who is supporting Dani in living her passion to the great joy of us thousands of YT fans. We can also support Dani by buying her merch and becoming patreons! Cheers from Stockholm Sweden.
