Friendly reminder from a wildlife rehabilitation student here, as we approach baby season in many regions-

Leave baby animal care to the professionals! If you find a baby animal, be it bird or bunny, call your local wildlife rehabilitation center for advice on what to do, as it’s highly situational and depends on species. The fact stands regardless of circumstance- you aren’t equipped to care for it! Leave it to the professionals! Otherwise, as sad as it is to say, you could be condemning that baby animal to death!

#i have already heard stories of baby squirrels getting kidnapped to be raised by animal lovers this baby season so I wanted to put this here #i assure you it is not as simple as buying some random domestic animal formula and trying to feed it yourself- in fact if you have to #transport that baby animal to a rehabilitator- please don’t feed it at all!! that could be extremely dangerous #respect wildlife from a distance and appreciate their presence but don’t put them (or yourself) at risk!

Hey guys, my family runs a non-profit wildlife rehab, and they’re struggling to get supplies they need because of the huge increase in storms (and thus squirrels that have been evicted from trees.) If you want to see cute baby squirrels, follow them on Instagram @/quillcottagewildlife . If you have alms to spare, please consider donating to their gofundme.

But at least take time to look at the baby squirrels. They’re cute as shit.

So uh

The tree got cleaned up today. In the time since it had fallen, which was not all that long, a raccoon made a new nest for her kits, and a squirrel made a nest and had babies in it. :S

A raccoon got stuck up on the ledge by our chimney, but made its way down eventually.

As for the squirrels...

One poor little guy was left behind and is having the worst day of his life :(

All he wants is to be held by a living thing that is warm, because he would normally be curled up in his nest with his siblings and his mom.

#We got advice from a wildlife rehabilitation organization #We are keeping him warm overnight #and will drop him off with their squirrel person tomorrow #she already has several squirrels of this species and age so he will soon have a family to cuddle with again #Even if it won't quite erase the trauma :S #We do what we can #The tree was there like 2 weeks I can't believe how many things were impacted by removing it already #and like it had to go this was not an option #but it's made me rethink deforestation with a more ground level view #for the record nobody saw the squirrel nest not us or the workers #One of the workers found this poor guy when they were clearing away debris #oddly enough the worker did have experience rehabilitating orphan squirrels but was unable to take him at this time #but his advice squared with what the organization told us so it was good advice

[milotickle]

Omg that's super cool that you work with birds like that I love hawks!

Thanks! Yeah, I work at a Wildlife Sanctuary that does a ton of birds of prey (and other animals too).

As a reward for the ask, please accept this pic of a baby squirrel.

#sharinf pictures of animals on the internet is scary for a professional #but i feel like the squirrel pictures are fine #support your local wildlife rehabilitator

Squirrels and Their Culinary Delights: Exploring the Nutty Preferences of Nature's Foragers 🐿️🌰🍽️

Nuts Galore: A Squirrel's Culinary Symphony Squirrels are renowned for their love affair with nuts, and the array of nuts they adore is as diverse as their acrobatic antics. From acorns to almonds, pecans to walnuts, these furry foragers showcase a culinary symphony that spans the nut kingdom.

Acorn Adoration: A Classic Squirrel Staple The humble acorn, nature's bounty tucked within a sturdy shell, is a classic favorite among squirrels. These resourceful creatures are known to stash acorns in various hidden caches, creating their own pantry for the colder months. The love for acorns is so profound that some squirrels have perfected the art of "husking" them to access the tasty kernel inside.

Walnut Wonders: Cracking the Nut Code Walnuts, with their tough exterior and rich, nutritious core, present a challenge that squirrels seem to relish. Armed with strong jaws and nimble paws, squirrels adeptly crack open the walnut's hard shell to savor the delicious treasure within. It's a spectacle that showcases their determination and ingenuity.

Pecan Perfection: A Sweet Nutty Treat For those with a sweet tooth, pecans are a go-to treat. Squirrels indulge in the buttery goodness of pecans, showcasing their refined taste for the finer things in the nut world. Whether nibbling on them right away or storing them for later, pecans are a cherished delicacy.

Almond Adventures: Nutrient-Rich Morsels Almonds, packed with nutrients, are also on the squirrel menu. These health-conscious foragers appreciate the energy boost that almonds provide. Squirrels are known to munch on almonds while perched on branches or even on the ground, displaying a versatile dining etiquette.

Hazelnut Hues: A Nut with a Distinct Flavor Palette Hazelnuts, with their distinct flavor profile, add a touch of variety to a squirrel's diet. Whether enjoyed as a quick snack or tucked away for future feasts, hazelnuts showcase the diverse palate of these culinary connoisseurs.

Bean has backwards ankles.

He's like the Laird in Outlander.

Somehow this is not my first disabled squirrel. Brigid, who had no back feet and a tiny left hand, passed away a few months after her sixth birthday.

That was in April. I was so hoping that all future rehabs would be releasable.

Going to quote The Wright Ranch Rescue

***

This is the reason a rehabber should be located right away for babies that you find. This babies picture is after the 3rd time I cleaned his sinuses.

Keeper -“hello I found a baby squirrel a couple weeks ago and it was fine but now it’s not eating and acting sick and squeaking when it breathes, CAN YOU HELP IT?”

Me- “I am definitely not a vet but you can bring it to me and I can try and save it”

At this point I already know what is going on. It has been aspirated and now has pneumonia. Without antibiotics this baby will die. But I haven’t told her that yet.

Keeper -“ After you fix it can I have it back? I wanted to have it as a pet”

Deep breath Vanessa, Deep breath!!!

Me-“no you may not have it back. If I can save it then it will be released as it should be or you can choose to not bring it and it will die”

30 minutes later I received a text message that the little squirrel is in a box in front of my garage. She didn’t want to talk to me I guess 😊

Pray for this baby. Antibiotics/ breathing treatment and some pedialyte on board now resting in the incubator.

***

This video is hard to watch but it’s the reality of the choice too frequently and unfortunately these extreme cases are only becoming more frequent…

Please use your state resources or somewhere like Animal Help Now (http://ahnow.org) to locate a rehabber asap when you find orphaned or injured wildlife. Remember that for the baby to have a best chance all it needs is safety and warmth from you…

Galadriel the Malocclusion girl from Fall 2021 season being a Squirrelly Girl living her best life in her Squirrelly World.

PLEASE never try to rear wildlife as without specific care they are susceptible to serious health issues!! Use ahnow.org so the baby you find can be like Galadriel NOW instead of when she was first surrendered with pneumonia (caused by her finder aspirating her)…

One of my earlier jobs in life was at a little pizza place. I worked there when it was first starting up. It’s the only job I’ve ever been fired from and it was because a new manager came in and cleaned house. Because my state requires a reason to be fired he said I used too much pepperoni. So now on job applications I get to write that I was fired for “excessive use of pepperoni.” Never fails to get a laugh.

Anyway! For this story to make sense I’ve first got to set the stage. This pizza place started out as the Wild West of management but one of the original investors was super committed to work programs through the prison. We hired a ton of ex convicts and they were all, to a one, super hyped on Christianity. Like born again for the sole purpose of lauding Christ with their every breath.

I hadn’t been working there long but I’d definitely noticed the Jesus bug had gone around, and as I’ve never been religious at all I tried to steer clear of the topic for my own safety.

The day our story takes place, I was folding boxes. Anyone whose ever worked pizza can attest, there’s so much box folding. It’s something that happens at every lull, the pizza machine demands box folding on a grand and epic scale.

On my right folding his stack of boxes was a guy wider than he was tall, made of pure muscle, Corey. He was newer on staff, and due to a stutter he didn’t talk much. All I knew about him was that he got hired through the rehabilitation program and had done time.

On my left folding was a tall middle-aged woman who loved to yell at me, Cindy. She and I rubbed each other the wrong way and had nothing in common, leading to a tense working relationship.

We folded boxes in silence. This was really my best case scenario as a quiet Cindy was a Cindy not riding my ass, and Corey intimidated me.

But the weight of the silence grew too much for Cindy, who finally said, “I really want to go to bible school.”

I folded a box. I had less than no idea what bible school even was and I didn’t want to get sucked into a religious topic.

On my right Corey said, “W-why, Cindy?”

“Well, cause I believe what’s in the Bible, but I just don’t know it all.”

He nodded sagely to this.

Cindy continued, “And every time I sit down to read the Bible I get real sleepy. And I know it’s the devil.”

It’s so hard to convey her tone in written format. It was delivered with the emphasis and exasperation of an inevitable inconvenience. Like, I just know it’s the squirrels eating the bird seed.

I froze in place at this pronouncement. My only exposure to Lucifer was Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics and I was trying to mentally twist into a frame of mind where The Morningstar cared enough about this one middle aged lady expanding her knowledge of the Bible that he followed her around cursing her with sleepiness when she picked it up.

I think I expected Corey to say, “Well that’s silly,” or something to acknowledge what a bizarre thing Cindy had just said.

Instead he said, “Yeah!” In a tone of complete agreement.

I didn’t look up. I tried to keep my face neutral at this development.

But something must have shown. Corey said, “You don’t believe in God?”

I shrugged casually and said, “If I did I wouldn’t talk about it at work.”

“C-cause it’s t-true. If y-you t-ry to r-read the B-bible on unsanctif-fied gr-round the d-devil m-makes you s-sleepy!”

I made a noncommittal sound and fled into the back room.

Over the next week it drove me crazy though. The logic of it wouldn’t leave me alone so finally one day when it was just Corey and I in front, and the restaurant was empty, I said, “Hey man, I have a question.”

He shrugged and listened.

“I really don’t mean this with any disrespect, I just genuinely want to know about the logistics-“

“J-ust ask.”

“Okay, so if Cindy gets tired when she reads any book, is it only the devil making her tired when it’s the Bible?”

His face went purple with fury and he yelled, “F-fuck you!” at my retreating back as I fled once more into the back room.

It will forever remain a mystery.

#ramblies #story #funny #as a caveat I don’t mean this story with any offense if you’re religious #but I think to assume that you’re being targeted specifically by a cosmic entity who rivals god is an insane hubris #the idea of a devil is already wild cause like he punishes bad people in the mythos so it seems like he's committed to people #paying for bad behavior rather than trying to trick them into it? but everyone treats lucifer like a boogey man which is weird to me #ffs foibles

[gremlingottoosilly]

Konig with an animal loving Wife. She will climb UNDER THE HOUSE to reach a litter of kittens,she will scale trees to return a baby bird to its nest. Stray dog on the side of the road? She will immediately demand he do a U-turn to "Help the poor baby!" and if he doesn't,instant silent treatment for 3 days.

Konig: am I just another stray to you, Schatzen? Darling: yes you are, oh yes you are. good boy Konig: :] He is happy for her! He doesn't really have a lot of experience with animals, like I was writing before, but he is open to basically anything you'd want, even more exotic options like snakes or spiders or wild cats in your backyard. He doesn't want you to get hurt and he is quite intimidated by the way pets just love to stare at him while he is having sex with you, but basically, he would allow and help you with anything animal related!! He is only concerned that you might hurt yourself while pursuing them. Like...did you have to climb that tree to save a kitten? He could have done it in a minute! Approaching stray dogs might be dangerous, you can get bitten or hurt otherwise...he knows you and your bleeding heart, but he doesn't want to drive you to the doctor again with rabies suspicions. He might just gift you a goat and let you treat her like your bestie just so you'd stop chasing squirrels to rehabilitate them.

October 5 2022 my husband @whiteboyradio and I were walking around the neighborhood observing all of the hurricane damage, just as we have many mornings before. All of a sudden we walked past a large pile of brush and heard squealing. Immediately I rushed over to the pile and I looked helplessly at my husband and then back at the pile and started digging. My husband rushed over and helped me move things around until we located a baby squirrel. Normally squirrels are born in groups of 2 to 4 babies so we kept looking, sadly we didn't not find anymore babies. I quickly grabbed this little one and put her in my bra to get her warm. I pray she was an only child and we did not overlook her nest or siblings
