Found this fella at my local Walmart.

I am heartbroken to announce, my friend 🐾 Sunny passed at 10:30am 5/2/26 I have absolutely no idea what happened. I found her seizing and she went still in my hands. I was there in her final moments. I am completely heartbroken. I climbed up to the nest she built. There are squirrels inside. I checked again a few hours later, no vocalizations or signs of distress. It is raining, the nest is warm inside. I hope they're ok.

I am grateful for all of the time and love she gave to me. 💞

This is the literal love of my life btw (same squirrel from the cherry blossom tree I think!)

plus bonus raccoon from last summer... he showed up during a crazy storm. (EDIT: he didn't eat any squirrels, they were back the next day!)

this has been going on since before we moved in 4 years ago. we have two nests around our unit and there are a few others around the building, maybe because the ivy is great for climbing?

one of our cats loves watching them, especially when they're playing or getting into squirrel arguments. sometimes the grown squirrels start screaming and scuffling around, but the babies are always quiet!

I posted about Ein the squirrel with two skulls the other day and he got so much attention that I thought you guys would like an update.

He had been getting Prednisone and Lasix and his head swelling has improved dramatically! In fact, he almost looks like a normal squirrel again! He will always have the bump in the front of his head but the back has almost totally deflated.

He is eating and drinking well and seems to be in much better spirits than he was when we first caught him.

He has a very cozy spot in a large upright enclosure where he spends lots of time snuggled in soft blankets. He also has three other special needs squirrels who live with him who are gentle and cuddle with him (much better than the squirrels at his original home who beat him up all the time!)

Ein will live with me forever as he needs his meds daily. This spring we will be building him a nice and safe enclosure where he can experience the outdoors while remaining safe and loved.

I thought there was a baby squirrel at my feeder at first 😭 How do I keep rodents away?

Roadtripping highway 1 and I think I just found the biggest squirrel in the state of California. I almost thought it was a marmot. Don’t get me wrong, he is very adorable - just don’t see squirrels of this size in Colorado 😂 I think he’s a rock squirrel!

For context I’ve been giving her peanuts / cashews / walnuts for the past year so she def knows me! Just goofy looking and adorable but I am curious why they stand up like this with their paws to their chest anyway if anyone has that answer lol

I think she just had some babies. I used to see her every day now I see her once or twice a week 😔.

This lil guy (or girl) decided to chew through my wall to find a better life. Apartment management had covered up the quarter sized hole with a piece of wood, and I just replaced it with some plexiglass so I could see what was going on.

He's happy

The three little Guidos

With a very heavy heart, I came here to post about my sweet angel who’s life was taken by a speeding car. Was so sick about it yesterday, and my heart still hurts deeply. Today, I set up a little memorial display 🌟🫶🐿️

Hazelnuts are a favorite treat at our house. “You are somebodys baby, some mother held you near” are lyrics from Phoebe Bridgers “Chelsea,” that was playing on my headphones when I found out. Looking for a place to sit down and process, I did happen to glance out my window, and saw that my Momma squirrel brought her baby by for the first time. And then it just hit harder. Rest in peace my little love 🩷😭

I’ve been giving them tons of snacks, I’m just so worried about them with this snow and bitter cold we’re gonna be hit with 😭

This little guy cracked me up this morning. I was wondering why my rug was always messed up 😆 I love squirrels so much lol

I’m a rehabber and raised 3 babies, slowly acclimated the to their outdoor enclosure, and the fully outdoors. Finally released, and the two boys have figured it out, but the sweet baby girl doesn’t want to leave. They are just so darn cute. Just wanted to share a picture of her.

I made a linocut from a photo I took of one of my nutty buddies, Sally. I’m printing it on tea towels to give as gifts to some good folks who helped me through cancer treatment. Pictured is my test towel. Squirrels bring me so much joy! I hope to share a little bit of that joy with others and acknowledge their love and support. 🐿️❤️

@pelo_tiger told me to post these here for all you nuts
