The sound of a creek masked the sound of my footsteps, it allowed me get close to this Douglas squirrel. I just stood there in my camouflage and captured as much as I could before I was figured out.

No stinky friend footage from last night, just a hint of a feline tail. I put food and water back out in the morning, and SQUIRREL! Our orange friend also showed up during daylight hours, and along with the earlier Tango, I’m thinking Slacker would be another good temporary name option.

A Squirrel named Monkey

I was doing laundry at my complex one day and I kept hearing little squeaks and squeal noises. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, but I thought it was probably a baby bird that had fallen out of the nest and that it would be fine, the mother would find it.. something.

As I was finishing up for the day, my neighbor comes up to me and says.. "hey, um.. I know you like birds... something fell out of the tree over here but I don't know what it is!" (I have 2 bird feeders outside of my apartment. Nothing spectacular, just a hummingbird feeder and one with food for most birds)

It was the funniest thing how she approached me, because what fell out of the tree was no bird lol. Her cat almost got it and she wasn't sure what to do, so she figured because I fed the birds I might know what to do I guess? 😂

So, she takes me back behind some rose bushes and the sweetest little thing was laying there, squealing and fighting for it's life! It was being attacked by biting ants. The ants weren't little fire ants, they were average sized ants not only biting but burrowing their head or something into its skin!

We get some towels to pick it up and clean off the biting ants, at this point we had no idea, what it was, it was so tiny! 🤗💚 We thought maybe a kitten or a puppy but the little mouth was so different.

While getting the ants off and looking at it more closely, a few more neighbors came up to see what was going on, and we realized it was a baby squirrel. 💚 Poor thing had been out there crying off and on for a while and must have finally crawled out of the bushes some. I could only hear it earlier.😔 The mother never came for it throughout the day. Now, we have picked it up, it may not come back for it.. What do I do?!?

We started looking online for animal rescues or what to do with this baby squirrel. Nothing near me in my area. The closest place we could find that may take it was way up in the mountains, and it was getting dark outside.

More online searching, we find some information on how to possibly care for it. We determined it was about 3-4 weeks old based on the size and the fact the ears and eyes were still closed.

So we rush to the pet store to find milk replacement, bottles, droppers, something for it to sleep it. Who knows how to keep a squirrel alive?? Especially one this small. 💚

This was soo nerve wracking! I would be devastated if it was to die in my care. I simply fed the birds lol. I was not wildlife rescue!
