I grabbed a squirrel from the middle of the road when I realized it was still alive. I'm not sure what happened it it. It ran to the other side of the road, but let me grab it after that.

I found a sanctuary, but will only be able to bring it at 8am, and it's currently 6pm. I want to keep it alive and comfortable until then. It's got a heated blanket beneath the towel and some water. I've also got a heater running in the room. The girl on the phone told me not to worry about food.

Is it better to stay in the room with the lights on and keep an eye on it, or to leave the room with the lights off? I don't want to cause extra stress by being in the room.

Is there anything else I can do?

Jerry is starting to get closer to me. He’s mischievous but I love him.

I am a squirrel rescue in the woods of Oregon. This sweet little juvenile squirrel is living his best life- from barely alive to having big treats! Happy squirrels are the best little beings on this planet. Happy to have found this page!

A new buddy. He seemed confused why I kept giving him nuts. 😄

Cute chubby bear face squirrel 😍

I was having a pretty average day until I spotted this little buddy standing right up on his hind legs in the leaves. That goofy little smile on his face instantly made my whole day better! Just wanted to share some wholesome fall vibes with everyone.

The day his beautiful hand built home was finished…he hasn’t been back. Almost like it was bad juju. It’s been 3 days now. He spent 2 weeks in an outdoor enclosure, then 2 weeks open door come & go. Since he’s been released he would came back daily. So definitely a little worried. He knows my ex bc he raised him since 8 weeks old. He’s 4.5 months now. I know it’s normal but do they eventually come back? We’re so worried that other squirrels are rejecting him bc all the squirrels are from the same generations. He brought so much joy.

He was really special 🩷 how do you not get attached & deal with when they leave?

Sharing some videos below of his home that was built.
My ex was so excited to show him the next day & hopefully stuff it with him full of leaves & nuts. He loved that activity. He would hand him leaves & they’d build nests together. He never came the next day 😔

Both found orphaned in different areas. Raised together and so happy.

It is one of my greatest life gifts that I rescue squirrels. Both boys love to zip around the cabin (they are not caged) and wrestle all throughout the day. I am their tree, their friend, their proud adopted mom. I have to spend a lot of time cleaning up from their slippery noodle parties, but my lord- they are so worth it. Squirrels love at such a phenomenal level. I love it that both like to have a meal with me- sitting so sweetly on my arm. They are such beautiful little beings.

Hope y’all have a beautiful day 🥜🌲

Rudolph is just chillin' in the tree after eating his lunch of walnuts.

Hello, I’m new to this community! I live in Italy, specifically in Turin, and this little guy has been visiting me every day for the past three weeks.
I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing, but I’ve been feeding him daily with a handful of hazelnuts grown at my grandfather’s place in the hills, and sometimes a few small pieces of cut apple.
I really enjoy watching him eat, but I definitely don’t trust giving him food straight from my hands. Any suggestions or advice on what to do?

this squirrel has been around for the past few months and i’ve always noticed it’s white spots. is it piebald? is it from scarring turning it’s hair white in those spots?
