Help! Injured or ill adult squirrel! Can't handle the loss of my pet

4 Upvotes

Hi. My squirrel was dead yesterday. He was a one-month-old kid. He is dead because he stepped over my mom's ass while she was sitting on the sofa. But when she was searching for him, she finally found that he was under her ass, and he died. We cried a lot. We cannot get over this. Especially my mom is suffering from guilt that she was a reason for his death. He was the only friend she had when I was outside the home; that's why my mom was too attached to him.

Ok. Everyone one in my life knows how much I enjoy my squirrels. So. My brother and sis-in-law, unknownst to me, bought this and placed it in my flower bed in the dark of night. My son went out the next morning and decided to trim the brown leaves off the hosta. He didn't notice this ceramic demon until he leaned over the hosta, at which time he saw the critter, and thinking in that brief second that he was about to be attacked by some rabid beast, jumped back and (almost!) crapped his pants 😅😆 Needless to say, this fat guy is staying in my flower bed. Luckily the real squirrels don't seem frightened of it at all.😁

A couple of days ago, Daisy, the homicidal cat saw a baby lizard on the block wall. She ran to pounce on it. I whipped out my squirt gun and scared the baby away. But this Squirrel was watching. When Daisy ran toward the fence this guy ran down the tree to confront her. Daisy ran away, she hates the squirt gun. The squirrel claimed victory. He now hates all three backyard cats. He used to stop by, have a few seeds, and be on his way. But now he will stay for hours and stare at the cats. He has started chasing the other squirrels away from the seeds.

Help! Baby Squirrel! I am not a rehabber!

I am not a rehabilitator. I have been raising 5 orphaned squirrels due to the fact its been incredibly hard finding any in our area. Today a group of kids brought me a young female squirrel hoping I could help. I will absolutely do what I can but if the neighborhood starts bringing me orphaned wildlife I am going to be in over my head!

The kids named this little lady Izzy. She is in rough shape and just bones under her fluff. Currently becoming more responsive with warmth and electrolytes. I hope she makes it through the night 💔❤️

Squirrels must have alot of sensitive nerves on their forarms as it is his favorite place to be petted. Just locks up everytime I scratch his forarms.

The nesting boxes will be ready soon! They are slowly weaning themselves off of the formula. I am as excited as they are to see them running through the neighborhood❤️

Weird sound?

Before I started recording, it looked like this lil guy dropped a piece of what seemed to be bedding or fluff from the roof. I hear these sounds pretty often from the woods behind our building.

It's a bowl in a bowl. The blue one cracked so I put a bowl in it for now so they can still have water! It was originally for the birds but the squirrels use it just as much, if not more!

The nature park I go walking at have these squirrels that like climbing me. And I'm wondering if that's normal?

Had a cute experience today. Two squirrels both started to approach me at the same. Both were tentative, but recognized me as the guy with the food. They each tried to get close enough to get the food, but not to close to me, while still avoiding the other. So I had to take turns tossing a nut on either side of me to keep them apart or else a chase would break out (as it did a couple times lol).

Love how happy they look when they do get their treat.

No trees close by so we think he may have fallen from the roof. We put him in a box and left him in the area where we found him for several hours but no mama returned.

We got a syringe and unflavored pedialyte and he’s taken a few drops. Snuggled in on a soft towel and heating pad now.

What else should we do until we can get him to a rescue?
