      it's a shame because wild animals that grow up with humans being their caregiver actually associate themselves with being a human given their upbringing so releasing them into the wild means that they don't know how to associate with animals of their same species or breed with them.

      Speaking what was on most of our minds. And to add to that...Chris went about it the right way. To not rehab it to eventually become a pet, but to eventually release it back into the wild.
      I Guarantee it was damn tough on Chris to say no to Acorn wanting more family time and staying inside their home. But hey, the outdoors are his home, and little Acorn learned that.
      You know that Chris missed him once he didn't really see ol' Acorn outside. But seeing that nest made his fricken day.
      Like a Walt Disney ending that Acorn built his little squirrel house inside of Chris's property.

    That was such a touching story. I love the fact that he was willing to nurture this orphan squirrel, yet he knew that it was mandatory that the squirrel be returned back to nature. Me and my family have done stuff like this over the years for some birds, and it's one of the most rewarding feelings to watch them as they return back to nature. I've never actually gone to school for anything dealing with animals, but I've watched programs, read thousands of books, and I've intently listened for over 45 plus years to some of the best in the business as it pertains to a multitude of animals on land and in the sea. I may not hold a doctorate in any of these fields, but that doesn't lessen my own love and dedication to the preservation of nature.

    We rescued three baby squirrels one year. What a group of characters they were! We had seen an adult squirrel dead in the road and then a couple of days later found little baby squirrels that had gotten so hungry that they climbed out of the nest. We gathered them up and fed them in our enclosed back porch for a couple of weeks and then they were ready to go off into the world and live the squirrel life. It was great fun caring for them.

He knocked on the kitchen window when he was hungry, but if the window was open, he would open the peanut jar and help himself.

      Not really. English, Dutch, Swedish and German are all languages descended from the same old Germanic tribe-system (although i consider English these days more of an illegitimate phonetic and grammatical mish-mash of different languages and language-groups that its hard to even call it Germanic anymore)
      Your language, Polish, is a Saxon one, so its not strange that it would not have some similarities, especially when you factor in geography.

    How sweet! I had found a baby squirrel years ago, nursed him with an eyedropper as you did, named him Rusty. Anyway, he used to sit by the door and wait for my husband to get off work, he knew the exact timing! He would run up his pantleg and crawl up to his shoulder and sit! I let him go finally but I still used to call his name, after so long, I never heard from him. But one day I called his name and I heard a noise on my neighbors roof, looked up and there was Rusty wagging his tail and chattering to me, I was so happy and then out of the blue another squirrel showed up at the top of the roof and they both slid down together to the gutter, just like a chip n dale cartoon! It was sooo cool! Rusty found his Love and came back to show me! Your story brought me back such a fond n lovely memory, thank you! Had to share mine!

    Adorable! I’m a huge Cat & Dog nut but since I was a kid I’ve always been fond of rabbits, chipmunks & squirrels. Part of the reason I did was probably because my Mom would feed the birds, rabbits, squirrels & chipmunks in the backyard which I do now. Many people don’t really even think about them or overlook them, but they are freaking adorable . How could you not think they’re cute?
    I had actually just left some nuts & water out for the squirrels & was watching them eat on the deck as I was reading before I took a break to look at videos which brought me here. It’s actually relaxing. Anyway, I’m so glad they rescued Acorn. He’s a spunky guy & luckily the right people found him. Remember squirrels are wild animals but when they need help I’m happy there are good souls out there to help like they did for Acorn. It’s a lot of work taking care of a baby squirrel but to animal lovers & good souls, it’s not work. When you see kind hearted people like this, it’s a huge green flag. You know they are kind & genuine. Cheers!🙂👍

She lived in a little wooded area nearby for the next 3 years then we never saw her again and assumed she'd lived out her life.
