I don’t know if I posted about this before… I have some “pet” squirrels I take care of. There’s probably around 15-20 of them that come visit me through out the day. I can well recognize 6 of them. I also have some chipmunks, bluejays, mourning doves and other birds as well.
The OG squirrel, mommy squirrel, started living under my deck in the spring. I would feed her nuts and sun flower seeds. I noticed she was getting really big rather quickly. Turns out… surprise! She was pregnant. She took care of her babies for a few weeks in the hole below my deck (she moved in I guess when she got preggers). About a month after having them she brought them up to meet me. :)
Unfortunately, I found one squirrel in my pool yesterday. I’m not sure which one it was (prettty sure it was an older one). I tried to resuscitate her with a straw, but it was too late. I’m heartbroken. She’s buried now under a tree in my backyard. I hope it’s not my favorite one that came to see me every day. I haven’t seen her for a couple of days now. 💔
I noticed recently one of the squirrels had a late season litter. Here is the baby I’ve made friends with the last few days. The first video is the baby from today. She’s a sweetheart. She doesn’t seem to like the blueberries I offer her haha. The second video is of my favorite squirrel. She bounced to go burry the peanut, and came back shortly afterwards.

{edit: my favorite one came to see me this morning! ♥️}
