Squirrel Story

Very reluctant to try and rehab this squirrel at first but turned out to be a great experience. Just wanted to film cutting the tree down at the beginning, didn't know squirrels were living in it. Tried unsuccessfully to reunite with the mother. He was fed properly and probably played with a little too much but how could you not.

I'm a wildlife rehabber and love this video more than words can say. Thank you for sharing all this joy with us. 🥰

I've taken in a lost and orphaned little squirrel. He was so frail and dehydrated when I got him. I'm close to setting him back out to the wild, and I'm so scared. I love how he will just hold my finger in his mouth....with no biting....he just holds it...it's their way of showing affection!

[@NorthernMouse52]

This has to be one of my favourite KZbin videos ever, Squirrel when hopping and skipping and playing is just a joy to watch, Bless that Squirrel and all Squirrel kind 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️👍

How precious these little wild things are at play and no matter how old squirels get, they stay just as cute. He was really happy to be with you--the cage was done up so beautifully too.

[@MissBonnieMcSquirrely]

Awww. I found orphaned baby last Autumn and rehabbed her. She now lives in my garden and had her own babies twice already. I named her Bonnie :D

[@timmywitty1432]

I have had the honor to hand feed and raise two squirrels. I just released the second one, Dani, about 5 days ago. I call her daily and she will come find me and crawl on me like a jungle gym. The first one “ Twig” lived for three years in my backyard then August 1, 2019 l found her body behind my garage. I have no idea what happened to her, she looked intact, perhaps poisoned. I abSOULutely love my squirrel friends and just gave thanks for the wonderful gift of a friendship with Dani, what a special gift it is. Blissings to you and your squirrel friends.

[@bettybare3320]

Tuis is one of my favorite videos!!! I love squirrels. Never knew how loving and playful the are until I helped one that was hit by two vehicles. I was scared at first, but I couldn´t leave her there so I put her in a box and left her in my sewing room to rest. No vet would help me to heal her and set her free. So I feed her creamy peanut butter and water. She started to heal and she got stronger. got her a good size branch to chomp on. If she wanted to hert me she realy could. She played a lot and would sleep in my arms. Finaly set her free. I miss her so much.

[@gabrielruvalcaba2310]

[@mikeupham963]

We had a squirrel that fell out of a tree and could not walk. Even though he was “broken” we still loved him to death and spoiled him rotten. No way would he have survived a week if we just turned our back and look the other way. He almost made it to 3 years and in that time he really became a solid part of the family. Even our cat would lay together with him. When he died it was a really sad day in this house and we will never forget the little dude !! RIP little Padiwon 😢

[@jacqueschuck]

Awwww. Thank you for giving him a great life with much love and respect.

[@jamminwolfie]

Seriously dude, just, AWW! I'm glad you didn't turn your back, you gave the little one 3 more years to live, so precious! Gosh if I seen a hurt squirrel (or even other animals), I'd have done the same. Every animal deserves a second chance :) God bless!

Absolute success--congratulations. It's a lot of work & expense to rehab baby squirrels but it's so worth it. They're the most amazing creatures--so clever & funny & loving, so devoted to their habit/instincts like burying nuts or building nests. You did a great job & it's just lovely to see him happy & healthy & free in the trees.

Thanks for posting this video! What a great learning experience. I had the unfortunate pleasure of caring for a young 4 to 5 week old that had fell from its nest with 2 other siblings. She was a lone Survivor. I set up a nesting area for her to stay safe in...in our living room. Hand feeding her was a blast! We played like you did/do with yours. How cool.. When she turned 7 wks old I contacted a local rescue and wildlife sanctuary in our area and turned her over to them. I had a hard time coming to that decision but unfortunately that's the law in my state..😠 Squirrels Rule.....

[@MissBonnieMcSquirrely]

They are so adorable and playful when young. I rescued one for the first time last year. Squirrels are illegal to be kept as pets in my state and I do believe they belong in the trees unless injured or some special exception. I released Miss Bonnie last November and she built a nest in my garden. She visits me daily and had her own babies twice now. Squirrels are awesome!

This is the best video. It’s awesome they took care of the squirrel. But what makes this story the best. The squirrel was released. The family, I know were worried. But, things like this have to be done to benefit the wild animal. I have several squirrels, but only one comes in. He comes in gets his food in the morning and evening. Just the basic routine. Squirrels are cute, but the teeth can tear up things. Did you see his wire cage. It had a huge hole in it. He was done being caged. Thanks to family who gave me joy watching this video.

Most people don't understand how you can fall in love with a squirrel. I do. I saved one from my cat, back in 2006, and she lived up until last year. I didn't keep her in the house I just fed her outside and she always felt comfortable coming up to me. She finally had two babies last year and I think she was pretty old for a squirrel to have her first litter. Unfortunately both her babies died and a few weeks later I found her on the ground. It looks like she just went to sleep and never woke up. I used to help her try to make her nest too. I would leave stuff out for her to put her nest together and she would take it. I still miss her so much. After I saved her, strangely enough my cat never bothered her again. She just sort of got used to her being around.

[@sarahmentock3655]

I rehabbed a squirrel, and he disappeared six weeks after we released him. I miss him a ton, so you're not alone. They are the most amazing characters, so intelligent and capable of so many emotions, not the least of which is...love.
