Squirrel Rehabber?

Anyone on here rehab squirrels? My age has gotten the better of me and I couldn’t toss them on the ground. Our county doesn’t show anyone on the states list so I’m not sure WTH to do with them.

Dropper and milk….enjoy your new babies

You go this route, and you are gonna have to update regularly. Has your wife seen them yet?

.22 caliber for the adults, babies make good coyote bait

Yep, easy to raise and some will stay somewhat friendly.
They sell the little baby animal bottle at feed stores, pet stores etc and maybe some formula for them, better than just milk.

Until they grow up and bite the [censored] out of you lol. They make great snake food, if ya have pet snakes.....

She’s on her way home now and I’m sure she’s going to be beside herself but these things are going to a new home unless I can’t find one and I guess I’ll do what I can until they can do their own thing. The last thing I need is something else to take care of but my slaughtering days are well behind me and everything but a democrat deserves a fighting chance.

Illegal to keep without the right permit, contact your game warden

Learned a long time ago not to trust those fury rats.

Lived in an apartment on the second floor by the creek, lots of big cedar elms right by my balcony. left my sliding glass door open all of the time.
Had a mamma squirrel come on the patio all of the time, then she started coming in, like a dumb azz I started feeding her nuts she ate right out of my hand and would hang out for a few minutes.

Spent the night over at a girlfriends house and left the sliding glass door cracked so she could come in and eat the nuts I left out for her.
Came home late the next day and my favorite chair was chewed up

They won’t return a call for poachers so I’m not holding out hope for a damn squirrel, found a rehabber in the next county over so if they survive until tomorrow they’ll be in better hands.

Yep, what they do. I just ran one off of my RV chewing on my awning. Can't shoot them here/eyes everywhere. I've got a 22 cal air rifle and 22 short subs that are itching for some squirrel.

Was just say'in, but know what you mean, should do good in a small box with warm material.

Make great pets tho, had a few in the 70's when we where kids, they get into anything and will near get you kicked out of the house for the chewing things.

Good on you!

I was so looking forward to the laughter I was gonna get from your daily updates. Oh well.

Just cut your dumplins a little smaller

You are getting soft. Would of never guessed it.

I have a couple of Red Tail hawks nesting out back, they would love those babies.

I hear that happens with old age.....

Yea after hitting 50 my desire to be an animal slayer has diminished. I actually let a couple 2’ Iguanas go yesterday they pulled from the top of w tree and I haven't killed a deer in a while now I preferred being a killer lol but times change I guess.

Were these Iguana's pets?

We had a class squirrel in kindergarten, the teacher would let it run around the classroom. Then we had baby ducks for a short time.

Good for you O.T.

I trap nuisance rabbits in my back yard regularly. Can't bring myself to kill them.

Funny we will hunt animals, killem and eatem but when it come to this type situation I feel the obligation to help them survive.

Call it what you want. I call it being a good human.

Animal shelter?

Enjoy it while you can.

We found a wildlife rehab facility. They raise them up and do a 'soft release' where they can leave their cage. Eventually they leave and don't come back. If you try to feed them yourself then watch out for signs of pneumonia. It's easy for them to get. Symptoms are loss of appetite, lethargy, and a clicking noise when the squirrel breathes. Hold the squirrels chest to your ear and listen carefully. The clicking is with each breath, in and out. This must be treated immediately with antibiotics or the baby will die.

Long before I was older, I had no desire to kill a baby anything.

Bet you'll kill some baby back ribs though.

baby nilgai better than veal

Never had baby nilgai, but I love baby white tails.

BTW, what OT is showing would be as effectve as puppies or kittens on a trot line.

Only low fence baby back ribs though.

The small ones will bite the snot out of you.

They probably were at one point but they were out in the middle of nowhere in the top of a tree,

OT, did you find the little guys a home? Or did you get stuck bottle feeding?

Rehabber has them now, he said they should be fine.

Good on you Brother. That is awesome

Good for the squirrels but the iguanas need to go. Invasive and muck up the ecosystem. Florida is overrun, just like with the boas and pythons.

That's great to hear.

Good job sir.
