2 of this season’s rehabs: Tinkerbell and Ratatoskr

I put food out for the squirrels and this chubby boy sometimes chases the other ones away and eats for a hour straight. Should I stop feeding them all together or will he be ok

Here's a clip of Nutmeg's babies in the new pergola house. Followup to my previous post today.

😐

Nom nom nom

Another clip after Momma Nutmeg enters the house and you can see her get gang tackled. You can see her try to come up for air in the lower center of the clip after a few seconds.

She’s beautiful ain’t she?

Munching on a nut

If you’re feeding don’t forget that these little friends are thirsty too! This is my friend, her name is Honey.

I cut up an apple to share with my pup and thought I’d see if Blackie wanted some. I’ve only ever fed him nuts. Well, you can see his reaction.

If I turn on the microphone, the groundhog runs off. The squirrels don’t care. Black squirrel doing the spider squirrel thing. Enjoy.

He's a good little guy

As you remember from past post Dee De Dee. I mentioned she has neurological problems and is blind(can see outlines up close)due to severe head and body injuries, that we weren’t even sure she would survive. Thanks to time, patience, and vet visits, we were able to have her as an ambassador.This is an idea of a blind squirrel and her ways. She will create a path running into objects. (I recorded after her first 4-5 laps) As she continues you can see she scent marks areas. One area in particular that has a few weirdly shaped objects in the way. She uses her nose a lot to navigate which tells me she is following the same path over and over. I put her in the center of her circle and she more or less froze. Listening. Which you will also see her trying to determine where I am located within the shared space. It’s pretty cool to hang out and observe, only getting to know her more and more each d

Enjoying playing with this 17 y/o camera while feeding the squizzels

Of luck

The story continues. Over the past week we thought we had 2 in the tree house and 2 under the solar panels.

I replaced the small pergola house with a fancy one with a camera last weekend, thinking she might use it at some point. She was exploring it this morning and within 2 hours she started to move the babies in.

I knew she had 2 in at one point, and then she was struggling getting the 3rd in because it was comically stupid. And I thought it was the 2 in the tree, but that was just under the solar. She then got the 2 in the tree house to follow her in.

So we know it is at least 5, but maybe 6 because I'm not 100% sure the stupid one isn't still under the solar.

Anyways, attaching some pictures of the migration and of the new pergola mansion. Again this is right outside our back door about 8 feet off the ground

Last one for the day. Nutmeg and babies all settled in for the night. That's Nutmeg in the upper right, on her back with her leg in the air.

I have a tree I visit often. I call the parent “Brown-tailed Beauty” and this is one of her kids.
