Flying Squirrel Watching a Rat Feed at the Squirrel Feeder in the Woods

Hi, friends!!!

I have a question.

Can pet squirrels have bad breath?

🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️

I bought a ground squirrel a few months ago. is there a market for selling squirrels? is that a thing?

It was very cute and eating something

Is there a hierarchy of nuts from healthiest to unhealthiest for squirrels? I know peanuts fall on the unhealthy end. Walnuts, healthy. Where do pecans fall? What about almonds? Cashews?

My friend squirrel is Sandy and everyone else I meet I give them a name with an S.

Sunny is letting me get closer but today he bit me and after I scolded him he left : (

She doesn't like to leave my side while eating. It's fine. I get to enjoy a few calm moments with a sweet friend.

I never name animals until I am confident they will survive, and I'm pleased to announce this little boy is officially out of the woods. 🎉
And his little eyes just opened yesterday 🥹
I was thinking Onyx :) 🖤

She first started stealing from the bird feeder so I made her some little piles of seed so she didn’t have to climb up the pole to the feeder. She soon got to where she would come and wait for me to bring her the food, she would back off at first but now she will take it from me. Sometimes she lets me pet her.

Yesterday evening we found a little squirrel on our back porch. I'm estimating it to be in the 6-10 week range as it has full fur, eyes completely open, and not too experienced it seems with jumping or climbing, but it is mobile (like watching a toddler or baby calf try to navigate). We're in TX so very hot and in a drought. The baby seemed tired so we just put some water out for it and let it rest as it was in the hottest part of the day when we found it. We haven't touched or moved it, but it doesn't run or seem at all bothered by us. I checked on it last night before going to bed and it had made itself a little burrow in the leaves by our gutter down spout and was fast asleep. I've read where often the mama will return for it, but when I left for work this morning it was still in its little burrow, but wide awake again. lol

When I get home from work today, if it is still there it will have been roughly 24 hours. I want to intervene as little as possible, but I also do not want that baby to suffer. I'm not sure if I should just give it a little safe shelter, some water, and a snack to figure things out or if I should get it to a local rehabber asap. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Feeding the squirrels who live near my house this morning, and found this little guy enjoying his breakfast whilst sitting in a crook of the tree. His feet are dangling in front of him, looking like every kindergartener. 😂🥰

I don’t know why but I always thought this noise was a bird until this morning.
