We found another baby squirrel - Jerry Squirrel

This little girl was sitting out on the sidewalk about a block from our house. We looked around for a nest or somewhere she could have come from but there wasn't anything nearby.
It was about to get dark and we didn't want to leave her out there so we did the same thing we did with Jerry and let her sleep in our shed.
There is a forest near our house so we may release her there once she's a bit bigger, or we may introduce her to Jerry and see what happens.

Please read the description for more details on how we found her. She's bigger than Jerry was and is already eating solid food so maybe we will help her out until she can climb well enough and release her in the nearby forest.

yup, its around 7 weeks old ,, or more,

[@cherylreichardt]

You are so kind to help her. She was climbing on you like a tree. I have baby squirrels too in my yard. Nothing better!

What are you guys gonna name this one?

[@JerrySquirrel]

Not sure we want to name her since we might release her in the forest. So far we've just been calling her JJ for Jerry junior.

She is so adorable! You guys must have a thing for orphans finding you. Is it possible it is Jerry's or did she not have little ones yet?

[@JerrySquirrel]

We have seen Jerry almost every day for the whole year and we don't think she's been pregnant so we doubt it's hers.

@@JerrySquirrel It is usually pretty obvious when they do have little ones when they are feeding them as i have a mama come around every night and it is impossible to miss. Poor girl is always eating but still skinny. Her teats are very visible and most of her fur around them is gone. I have a chunkier female that is about the same but she holds her weight rather well. That would be so neat if Jerry had little ones to bring around sometime. I am so happy for you that you at least have the opportunity to take in another orphaned baby. What an adorable little peanut! I can imagine it must be a lot of work feeding them through out the day and night. I applaud you for your special relationship with them and feel in love with your videos! I still remember jerry sleeping in the jar when she was tiny. My favorite video of all time!🤣🤣😇🥰

@@critterallywithjohnernest. Thanks John! We always appreciate your kind comments. This one has been pretty easy so far since she's eating solid food already. She won't take any formula so I think she's pretty close to being able to go out on her own. And yeah, the way Jerry climbs on our window makes it really easy to get a good look at her belly and her teats haven't changed at all so I don't think she's been pregnant.

[@critterallywithjohnernest.]

@@JerrySquirrel well, sooner or later little Jerry will most likely be a mom. So happy to hear that this little peanut is at least eating solids. Makes me woder what happened that she was all alone. I guess maybe her mom could have been hit by a car or something and never came back home so he decided to leave the nest. Either way, at least he fell into good hands. I just hope Jerry thinks so too.🤣 you guys truly are heros for being so good to wildlife 😊

@@critterallywithjohnernest. We think it might be a boy now, we're never sure haha. But we let her climb a tree twice now and both times she almost fell. She's very clumsy and it was super windy on the day we found her so I'm thinking she was exploring outside the nest and got blown out of the tree.
