I’m crying right now reading your story. This was amazing I’m glad you were there to help him, and that you formed such an amazing connection.

Don't cry!

Squirrels don't make good long-term pets, and will need to go discover the world and find a mate when they reach sexual maturity.

So u/xombae's little guy had just the best life he could imagine! Completely safe as an adolescent, then given his freedom when the time came!

"I brought my girly to meet you, human. Thank you! I hope you know it meant everything to me... and now it's time for us to go."
