Yes! And his face when the squirrel is crawling on his shoulder and arm toward the end. 13:48 ... He looks so proud, content & almost like he's holding back tears too. Needless to say, I subscribed ♡
Some captive animals definitely can get too worried about their nest being disturbed and carry their young around until the poor baby dies or people intervene and take it away.
She wouldn't eat them, it only happens to mammals when they are 100% sure the kids don't make it because of lack of resources and bad environment. Touching them probably didn't do anything, at worst they'd be rejected but not eaten

Ya you know when we love the animals the animals will love us I have chickens in the back two on team one one team and to die I'm so sad I don't like to see animals dead or die respond in my chapter tell me if you like animals when they're dead or when they're alive I like them when they're alive cuz they are more cute under friendly animals so I like this video cuz me it makes me cry a lot
I have a few rescued squirrels in my home, the majority of them are the “normal” squirrel you’d see, the day I got my red squirrel was a day I’ll never forget. Squirrels can be stunning little critters!
You are indeed my favorite animal lover. You take it personal when they are not doing well and you glow when they are thriving. I love your big heart for these amazing creatures.
This man is the kindest soul, he has an unbelievably huge heart of pure gold and I love him for it!!! My squirrel used to hop and flip like that when he was playing and I have so many videos of him acting so silly and adorable. I love squirrels, they really are some of the most incredible little creatures, they have the personality of a puppy and a toddler mixed, and they are so funny, each with his own unique personality and temperament. They love to play wrestle, snuggle, and will need tons of attention, but they are so worth it. They dont make the best pets in the way of how much they jump on everything, chew everything, can be quite moody to people they dont trust and often will bite and hard too. But if you are their human, they are loyal, sweet, will even purr like a cat, only faster, and give you kisses!!! Stew, RIP I love you and miss you every day!!!
OK, I know you didn't ask but... one thing I've learned over the years of keeping animals in cages, be it mammals or reptiles, is the importance of smell in their lives. In the wild, many animals have a home territory with a number of places that can be used as dens, nests etc. They will regularly switch dens or nests to prevent any one becoming too unhygienic or overrun with pests and parasites. Also, if a female mammal has young, she will move them periodically to other dens to prevent their smell drawing predators to them. The mother will be familiar with all the dens and nest sites in her territory, and they may have a lingering trace of her scent in them, too. When we keep animals in cages we kind of limit their territory size, and generally, there is space for just one den/nest. To prevent the cage getting too dirty we clean it out, but when we do that, we also remove any trace of the animal's smell in the area, and often place it with new and quite strong strange ones. Believe it or not, even snakes get upset if their home no longer smells like it did before. What I do is, when cleaning my snake's cage out, is keep about a scoopful of the old substrate back. I give it a good sift to remove any dust and other debris, then once the rest has been removed, the cage vacuumed to remove dust, washed and dried, and fresh wood chip substrate put back in, I sprinkle the reserved scoopful over the top. That way, whilst the cage might smell mostly strange, there is a bit of his scent left.. A similar thing can be done with mammals: keep a bit of the cage substrate and some of the bedding back to add once the cage has been cleaned. I apologise if I'm telling you something you already know, but if not, perhaps it will prevent another squirrel panic in the future...
Yeah ngl I know we all make mistakes and it's good that he owned up to it but it would have been good for him to do a lil more research before getting involved
Ok I've kept snakes my whole life and I've NEVER had a snake stress or get upset from cleaning it's cage. Not once. (And I breed them now and not one time has a snake gotten stressed about changing the cage bedding or lay box bedding.) Maybe y'all got some weird snakes, or I do. lol.
I just wanted to give you a little tip that might work. I raised rabbits for over 10 years. A trick we used for new or skittish moms when we had to check nest boxes was to put a little vanilla extract on their nose before you let her back in the nest. The vanilla makes it so that they can’t smell for a bit and, by the time they can smell again, their scent is in the nest. It works great! I hope it helps in the future! Also, another way to warm up kits quickly is to put them in your shirt. I’ve saved so many rabbit kits like this. Also when you get to the house with the kit in your shirt, put two towels in the dryer. Once they’re warm, pull one out and wrap the kit. Leave the other towel going in the dryer so that once the towel you’re using gets cold you have another towel already warm.
I kept wandering if Mom smelled human hands on the babies: Respectfully My Mom who loved to talk with Animals her home took care of different animals. I think she'd say use gloves while you search with the clean babies, unfortunately My Mom is a Heavenian 2 yrs soon. I have her love of animals: I currently today just got 3 orphaned Kittens maybe 2 -4 days old. Good job it's exhausting imho
Kudos to you and whoever is helping you film all this. At times like this it really helps to have assistants. So thankful things went well for the babies. You are truly a blessing. 🙏☺️💕
This man deserves the world, he takes care of so many animals and truly cares about them. Others might have just been like "well, I'm just gonna put him back I the next and if he does, he dies!" But he tried his very best to take care, and revive the poor squirrel
Ya, but ironically many of the people who watch his videos wouldn't even bother to let the ads role to support the channel. It's less than the world, it's just few seconds..
You didn't do anything wrong. Those fleas would have killed them. I have seen fleas kill newly born pups by causing anemia. Glad everything turned out okay.
you can use non toxic, food grade diatomaceous earth to kill the fleas...people can also use it for benefits internally in liquid...do your research ...you can find it in feed stores...just make sure it is food grade, the natural stuff not the synthetic the gov is starting to use in foods pfft...
It’s just nature. A hedgehog also has fleas and a lot too. But next time: never ever destroy the nest. How sad it is to watch the death of a animal, that is the way nature controls the population of species. It’s cruel that I say that but as a vet’s assistant and worker on a animal ambulance I see a lot of people that call for “abandoned” young animals and see how they tried to place a young bird back into the nest etc. My advice: never touch a young animal unless it’s hurt or really is out of it’s place. But I want to thank you for your service to endangered animals and species. Squirrels are getting on the brink of extinction due to cutting down trees and forests. And everybody loves to see squirrels with those fluffy tails in the forest gathering nuts and seeds for the winter during a walk through a big forest during autumn. Okay, now I need some hot cocoa with whipped cream...... 😋🍂🐿
You have such an incredible heart! I'm 6 months pregnant right now and am literally in tears over your kindness and determination to save these precious little lives!
Hardly likely only one would have them - fleas were all over all of them. I think he was just the runt & that's why he was rejected. It's common in nature. He's a lucky lil guy that he was given extra care.
I forgot to breathe while he was trying to warming up that little angel, every second I prayed that it will survive, literally it was more thrilling than any movie, God bless you.. Love from India❤️❤️❤️
I am also Indian loving animals god should bless him with good health and wealth he is very kind towards all animals I couldn't believe at this time people like him are still there it's he is a man with kind heart all the love from India
Well I doesn't seem like the babies would have made it with their mother freaking out and forcing him to take action as she abandoned each. He had to intervene to help them survive. Are the adults rescued squirrels or pet squirrels?
I’m telling you right now the work that this guy is doing is unbelievable and amazing! What a great father! This guy has all the skills in the world to take care of all the animals!
This guy is amazing. He does everything to save animals who are abandoned and needed help. He makes a great effort in these videos. Plz support him. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
i thoguht it weird though someone with his knowledge u woulda thought should know bettter about fucking with a nest during growing/birthing cycle, i mean u hear all the time how if u touch a robins nest the wont even come back for the eggs.
@@camponotusinflatus9920 true. but wasnt that only after he waited several days and the squirrel didnt come out? i dont think he shoulda just let them possibly die. but you're right, though. he did alter the nest.
@@mattt.4395 Dude, did you not watch the vid?! They were alive, he saw them, but he effd the nest up anyway!!! The whole thing is on HIM! There is no excuse, he could have just left them in the nest like it was, but he chose to completely eff the nest up, he took everything out and changed it with something different, thereby changing the smell of the nest and the lil ones. It is completely on HIM!
Up north, if we found a rodent nest in a dangerous place for the animal (like in my dresser or a tarp), all it would take was disturbing the nest even slightly and leaving a clear path to the open front door to have the whole family gone within the hour. It sounds like your momma just wasn't confident in the nests for whatever reason. She seems to like you, but your scent, or just new scents on the babies might have triggered a deep seeded need to move. Happy everyone is okay though!
@@Turtleback8024 dude, no. You're wrong on so many levels, you literally have the world's knowledge at your fingertips and yet, you still wrote something that stupid and put it out into the world. Dogs will not eat their babies because they smell like a person. They will eat their babies if they are starving, under constant threat (like being next to a freeway or very active public location) and first time mother's can be quicker to eat their young when under high stress. The mother literally is just making the choice to not raise a litter because it's too hostile of an environment and could lead to her death. You have to be stupid as fuck to think mother animals kill their babies based on smell.
Scent has nothing to do with it. I've raised all types of rodents including squirrels and they don't care about human smell. They care more about the structure and stability of the nest. Rodents like to burrow and make like a small dome that's completely compressed on the sides, warm and cozy in the middle. The way he set it up was for like a bird or a rodent just starting a nest. She didn't want to rebuild the nest (or maybe she did but the babies were in the way) and she had no where to put them. He would have had better success if he used the fluffy rodent bedding and just fisted it in there until it was like a dome with a small opening to get in. Rodents are way more particular about their nests than birds.
@@khoryvodkamiss9725 nah i feel it was because she goes in her den and all of a sudden see's her den is completely different it wasn't "her" den and felt unsafe so felt the need to move. at the end of the day he was basicly forced to change the whole den and make it pest proof, but he definitely knows now to prepare b4 the babies are born
It felt like i was watching a rescue movie. And the rescuer was doing everything right. And he kept falling into another problem. And the squirrel mama went crazy. It was very exciting, heart breaking. And an awesome ending. I loves it. And i really love squirrels. Your a great squirrel dad.
Yes...ur compassion is awesome for your squirrels!! I raised 2 orphans in the spring and recently raised 4 more , just released them into the wilderness...we see all 6 hopping around out there and gathering all the nuts and seeds we leave under the tree where we released them....I'm up to rescuing a baby crow, 2 Bluejays, a mauled Robin (everyone was shocked it survived) it went to a bird sanctuary since it couldn't go back to the wild...also, a blackbird, 5 orphan kittens. Several baby turtles 🐢.. It's so rewarding even though hard work, I'm 72, no spring chicken any longer! So I appreciate and love what u r doing for all God's creatures!!! I enjoy your videos so much and am s new subscriber...Dawn dishwashing liquid safely cleans my critters habitats and kills the nasty fleas....
You are truly a wonderful caring gentleman. Without your dedication that poor little baby would not have survived. Thank you so very very much. A real Angel on Earth. ❤️❤️❤️
The cause of this is simple : You noticed fleas inside the nest, thus cleaned it. The intention was nice, but by doing so (other than removing the pests) you also did 2 things : 1 - You wiped out the scent left in the nest by the babies and the mother. 2 - You replaced the nest's materials, and re-arranged them differently. This led to the mother believing the nest had been discovered by potential predators, which triggered a re-location behavior, in which the mother squirrel will move her babies into another nest prepared in advance (In the Wild, squirrels prepare around 3-4 dens inside their territory for this kind of situations). However, as they're pets living in a restricted area, she didn't have a second nest prepared at a suitable distance from the first one, so she ended up roaming around searching for a way out with her baby in the mouth getting weaker and weaker as time passed. My advice to prevent this from happening again would be to provide them with one or two spare nesting places in different corners of the enclosure. That way she'll be able to prepare spare nests in case she needs to move them, and she won't end up dragging them around the entire enclosure if you need to clean the nesting box from pests. The best would be to leave them alone, of course, but there are cases when it may be good to intervene, like you did with the fleas (the babies would've been sucked dry by these pests)
@@arnonuhm4022 I'm not an expert, just someone who documented himself well as he was really interested in providing nesting boxes for birds and squirrels in his garden
Yes, he knew all this. And there were extra nests in the enclosure that you can see, and he was clearly leaving them alone as much as possible since he didn't even check on the disappeared mom for several days, not wanting to stress her out. Sometimes animals just don't behave according to prediction, despite your best efforts.
The reason behind is that horse hairs and other products put in changed the original smell of the nest gave so the mother thought that these weren't her own so she tried to dispose of them... I have seen this behavior and any human intervention at this stage is not good as it may lead to the mother rejecting the kids
❤im so glad that all the baby squirrels are ok, i was so worried for the baby that i thought was so near death, your a wonderfull person that loves nature and helps the wounded of the animal world. Keep up that good work,all the animals need you!

Mammals will often eat their babies if starving, stressed or the babies had a strange smell like they were from a different group. I thought they were being eaten due to the new smell 😢
I congratulate you my dear friend, I am new to your channel, my mother saw it and if it were not for her I would not have known what a big heart you have. I adore animals and my admiration for you.

this video was bugging me, showing up in my feed all the time because I didn't want to watch a rescue take a bad turn but now that I watched it I'm happy. and I'm happy they are all OK. my bunny did something similar when I tried to help her with her nest, but luckily she lives indoors. my couch wasn't as lucky though, she ripped a hole in the fabric underneath it (that keeps it tidy) and moved them there.
Hello dear person, I am always very tense and with great hope that you can help these fellow creatures. Thank you for your good work, it's nice that you exist.❤🤝🙏👍
It wasn’t you cleaning the box that made her ditch the baby. Animals often abandon babies that are sick or very weak. You cleaning may have been a catalyst to her stressing out enough to behave like that, but it probably would have happened eventually weather or not you did the cleaning, as that baby was clearly not very strong. And honestly if your options are “clean the box and risk the mother being stressed out” and “Leave the babies to get sick and diseased by letting them live in a pit of fleas” then you made the right call, and doing anything else would have been neglectful, and they all would have then been abandoned.
@matt vanbeekveld this is an outdated train of thought and absolutely incorrect. People used to think the same of birds, but guess what? Birds have an underdeveloped sense of taste and smell, so they don't abandon their babies due to our smell. I've also had rodents for many, many years of my life. There have been 2 occasions in which my mice mommies have died from cancer, a sad reminder that our beloved pet shop rodents hail from lab stock according to our vet, hence the reason they get cancer and respitory infections so often. It's in their DNA. Anyway, I raised 2 lots of newborn baby mice. On both occasions some remarkable things happened. The fathers took over after I'd fed them. I would get up every 3 hours to feed and them give them back to dad who would scoop them up and lay over them to keep them warm until the next feed. We worked in tandem like this until they were grown up and self sufficient. My 3rd experience was with a pet rat who came to me pregnant. Well, she birthed 9 lovely pups. I tried not to interfere too much as I didn't want to disturb her, but I had to clean the cage after a few days, so although I tried not to disturb the nest, I did cause her an enormous amount of anxiety. While cleaning the cage, she began to move her babies out, one by one. I had forgotten to close the door when I went to wash the bowls out and came back to find her babies strewn across my floor in a line towards my wardrobe where she was moving them up into my clothing. So I had to move them all back and her and I ended up being counterproductive as she'd try and move them the moment I put them back. So I put her in a separate box and put all her babies back, then reintroduced her. I covered her cage and prayed for the best as I have had both mice and rats eat their babies before, never a pleasant experience. Well, she had settled down and went back to being an excellent mommy who fed all her babies until weening. The reason they eat or kill their babies is due to ill health, stillborn or stress episodes that cause anxiety. Also lack of food resources may cause her to kill them. It really isn't because of our smell. Over my years of owning rodents, beginning around 5 yrs old under my own mother's guidance up into my 40's with my own children's pet rodents I've seen so many births and infanticide and also assisted many mothers with their litters and I can assure you they don't kill them because of our smell on their babies. If that were the case, I'd have had every litter dead through all of those years. Rodents are fantastic parents, just try not to stress them out or allow their surroundings to cause anxiety. But sometimes we have no choice but to interfere and let me tell you, by being gentle and respectful, you can also gain a mother rodents trust and she will allow you to touch her babies and move them as you clean around them, they're extremely intelligent animals. If you think I'm talking nonsense, please feel free to do your own research and you will find out the truth.
Can we just appreciate how gorgeous these creatures are? Each one of them have such a unique pattern. The mom is almost pure white(i have never seens something like this on a red squirrel). Beautiful.
When I was very young my brother’s & i had a squirrel they named humphry.One day we were cleaning stuff up outside & humphry had a growing stomach.It wasn’t a boy it was a girl & she was pregnant.After a while she had her babies & brought them to see us.They were so cute.After her& her children,etc. we ended up being visited by all the creatures in the neighborhood,they really liked being fed& cared for& I absolutely loved them all.When i got much bigger i helped the neighbors take care of their animals & loved riding the horses the most.I was the only one they would let ride bare back because i got a long with everything/everyone.I know there has to be lots of people who love creatures as much as i do.Keep making this earth a better place for all,with all the love in the world,god bless& have a good life!!!
I love how even though they were hand-raised, they still do instinctual things. You give them a whole bucket of seeds, but she still has to go bury one, just in case, for later.
You can find plenty of videos of people having done this _the_ _right_ _way_ , where the mother will happily let them play with the kits, and coming back next year to visit again. Taking away the box with the mother watching, and replacing the nest material was really stupid, and alarmed her enough to drag around a kit for an hour, nearly killing it. But, I guess we all have to learn somehow.
@@silvergreylion If there are flies on the kits, there are flies everywhere in the enclosure. Flies jump on and off animals to feed and lay their eggs in crevices. My suggestion was to heat up the entire nest at 160°F for about 2 minutes in an oven and/or to sprinkle diatomaceous earth everywhere in it and around the enclosure. Probably the diatomaceous earth only would have been enough and caused the less disturbance. But he still has a flea problem.
@@silvergreylion THANK YOU!!! Anyone who has cared for a variety of small mammals knows this happens. I just kept watching thinking, "Oh, please don't do that!"
Momma's know when something is wrong with a kit. They often abandon sick ones in the wild because it takes resources from the other kits. It's sad, but survival of the fittest is a very real thing in the wild.
Spookworm Very true. Some of the babies people find and attempt to raise show neurological and other symptoms. Not always, sometimes it's a fluke that they're out of the nest, but sometimes Momma knew something was off.
@@awarenessvillage The reason she kept taking babies out was because they all smell of human and she had nowhere else to put them because she thought that the original den was gone because that he was cleaning out the den and the squirrel scent was gone. Edit: Ive seen the replies and you're right he did raise the squirrels after all and I don't think she would just abandon them because they smelt of human and also the den he cleaned out he did in fact replace the beding with horsehair so that must have been pretty odd for the squirrel to smell a horse instead of her own scent.
That's true, but with respect, "survival of the fittest" refers to an animal's suitability to its environmental niche, not to its physical health and fitness in the modern sense.
Mama got scared when you took her kits and she was trying to move them somewhere you can't find them. You had good intentions. Glad it all went well in the end.
Its because of the horse hair that he used when he prepared the nest.Keep in mind that animals use scent to recognize each other hence the mother squirrel was trying to change them to a different nest.
@@Afrintrepreneur yep, I was thinking she could’ve possibly been seeking help for the first little guy until she tried to move another one then I realized the smell probably just triggered her instincts.
Nice job! If this happens again, or an animal needs it’s body temperature brought back to normal warm levels, take a cup and a half of dry uncooked rice and put it into a tube sock. Tie the sock up at the end & put it into the microwave for 2 minutes. You can place it under a small towel or blanket and it will help warm up the squirrel and the rice sock will stay warm for up to 20 minutes. It will help bring up their temperatures quickly and help to regulate their body temperature. It will also help keep the blankets/towels nice and warm for some time as well. I always heat up 2 rice socks at a time atleast and place them under the animal on both sides. I keep 6 rice socks in my kitchen drawer for animal emergencies. I’m a vet tech & we use this method quite often to help regulate animals body temperatures. This was even in my books when I was in college. It works incredibly well for juvenile & baby animals as well as seniors or sick animals.
So true, we have a huge chestnut tree in our garden, the nuts they never dug up, resulting having about 8 to 10 little trees growing now about 2 feet tall!!
I rescued baby squirrels who fell out of a tree, 1 fell on top of another, the female on bottom died at the vets office but the male survived (I bottle fed him every 2 hours until he was weened) I raised him to maturity & then moved him to the backyard- he had a family & would visit me everyday.
She wasn't rejecting her babies, that much is certain. She just didn't like your new den materials. Especially the horse hair. The den also smelled like humans and whatever you used to de-flea it. However, someone else was correct when they said she was taking them out to put them in a new nest but she could not find a suitable location. When the baby got too cold and became unresponsive to her, she pulled out another baby to try to "rescue" it from the obnoxious (to them) smell. Rabbits will do the exact same thing. Since you absolutely had to take them out... which you did need to do... the best thing for you to have done would have been to de-flea the existing bedding somehow and use the same bedding in the box so as to make it just like the Mother squirrel wanted it to be. My best suggestion for any time that might happen would be to use diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it within the bedding and on the box, especially anywhere there's seams when you make a nesting box. You'll have no parasites that way because it gets onto the parasites external shell, and kills them but it's harmless to larger animals such as the kits and squirrels.
Your very right since animals use there sense of smell to find there den if they replaced there old den with the smell that feels like home they will leave and find a new nest
Squirrels when they making the nest the mom ripping their own hair to make it comfy . But when the smells are different, or strange like sometimes other birds they leave the nest, or worse killing the babies.
I don’t see how he could deflea it without them coming right back, like could be eggs on the babies, bedding, the earth could get in and damage their eyes while they were opening them, etc. It was gross dirty bedding not suitable for babies. The female is clearly a first time mother and not very smart so I think that is a much more prominent factor too. He did the best he could and I think that his choice to discard the bedding was the best choice available. I don’t know if diatomaceous earth would work, in fact I doubt it. Did you see how massive those fleas were? More likely they’d crawl deeper in any crevices on the poor babies and the babies would get coated in it, not good for the mom’s nipples either while feeding. And any product which wards off bugs is going to smell no matter what... I think the only other things he could and should have done would be to thoroughly wash the horse hair with soap/water, and find actually clean bedding maybe from a different/older/unused den and rub it all over the hair and rest of the new bedding instead.
ok, I understand how I see so mama squirrel is innocent I dint know about the horsehair tho I mean the horsehair keeps the lice away but do the squirrel-like the smell/odor of the horsehair?

Same, i was holding my breath when the mama had the baby in its mouth, i was so afraid to see blood
Some captive animals definitely can get too worried about their nest being disturbed and carry their young around until the poor baby dies or people intervene and take it away.
She wouldn't eat them, it only happens to mammals when they are 100% sure the kids don't make it because of lack of resources and bad environment. Touching them probably didn't do anything, at worst they'd be rejected but not eaten
When things feel hopeless I'm glad to remember people like this exist

I’ve never seen squirrels this color. They are beautiful .
Japanese squirrels, they're so cute
I have a few rescued squirrels in my home, the majority of them are the “normal” squirrel you’d see, the day I got my red squirrel was a day I’ll never forget. Squirrels can be stunning little critters!

Yeah they are red squirrels, I dont think you get em in america but you do get em in britain, but they are threatened by grey squirrels here

This man is the kindest soul, he has an unbelievably huge heart of pure gold and I love him for it!!! My squirrel used to hop and flip like that when he was playing and I have so many videos of him acting so silly and adorable. I love squirrels, they really are some of the most incredible little creatures, they have the personality of a puppy and a toddler mixed, and they are so funny, each with his own unique personality and temperament. They love to play wrestle, snuggle, and will need tons of attention, but they are so worth it. They dont make the best pets in the way of how much they jump on everything, chew everything, can be quite moody to people they dont trust and often will bite and hard too. But if you are their human, they are loyal, sweet, will even purr like a cat, only faster, and give you kisses!!! Stew, RIP I love you and miss you every day!!!

OK, I know you didn't ask but... one thing I've learned over the years of keeping animals in cages, be it mammals or reptiles, is the importance of smell in their lives. In the wild, many animals have a home territory with a number of places that can be used as dens, nests etc. They will regularly switch dens or nests to prevent any one becoming too unhygienic or overrun with pests and parasites. Also, if a female mammal has young, she will move them periodically to other dens to prevent their smell drawing predators to them. The mother will be familiar with all the dens and nest sites in her territory, and they may have a lingering trace of her scent in them, too.
When we keep animals in cages we kind of limit their territory size, and generally, there is space for just one den/nest. To prevent the cage getting too dirty we clean it out, but when we do that, we also remove any trace of the animal's smell in the area, and often place it with new and quite strong strange ones. Believe it or not, even snakes get upset if their home no longer smells like it did before. What I do is, when cleaning my snake's cage out, is keep about a scoopful of the old substrate back. I give it a good sift to remove any dust and other debris, then once the rest has been removed, the cage vacuumed to remove dust, washed and dried, and fresh wood chip substrate put back in, I sprinkle the reserved scoopful over the top. That way, whilst the cage might smell mostly strange, there is a bit of his scent left.. A similar thing can be done with mammals: keep a bit of the cage substrate and some of the bedding back to add once the cage has been cleaned.
I apologise if I'm telling you something you already know, but if not, perhaps it will prevent another squirrel panic in the future...
This should be top comment.
I think that horse hair is probably very smelly.
Yeah ngl I know we all make mistakes and it's good that he owned up to it but it would have been good for him to do a lil more research before getting involved
This is really useful to know, thank you!
Ok I've kept snakes my whole life and I've NEVER had a snake stress or get upset from cleaning it's cage. Not once. (And I breed them now and not one time has a snake gotten stressed about changing the cage bedding or lay box bedding.) Maybe y'all got some weird snakes, or I do. lol.
Squirrel burying nuts despite there being a full bucket of them: just to be safe
Well... I have a big family and as kids, we all did the same with the best food in the kitchen.
Yellow House Instinctive I guess.😀
He's/She's a prepper!
his great great grandfather was in the ice age movie i guess!
Squirrels getting buckets of nuts so they never go hungry. Also squirrels: "well this one specifically belongs to me, no one else can have it."
I love squirrels. I’ve wanted one forever. But they are much better off in the wild. And thankfully to you they have a life and a great one!
I just wanted to give you a little tip that might work. I raised rabbits for over 10 years. A trick we used for new or skittish moms when we had to check nest boxes was to put a little vanilla extract on their nose before you let her back in the nest. The vanilla makes it so that they can’t smell for a bit and, by the time they can smell again, their scent is in the nest. It works great! I hope it helps in the future! Also, another way to warm up kits quickly is to put them in your shirt. I’ve saved so many rabbit kits like this. Also when you get to the house with the kit in your shirt, put two towels in the dryer. Once they’re warm, pull one out and wrap the kit. Leave the other towel going in the dryer so that once the towel you’re using gets cold you have another towel already warm.

You didn't do anything wrong. Those fleas would have killed them. I have seen fleas kill newly born pups by causing anemia. Glad everything turned out okay.

Glad you got rid of the fleas too. You're a good adoptive Dad.
It’s just nature. A hedgehog also has fleas and a lot too. But next time: never ever destroy the nest. How sad it is to watch the death of a animal, that is the way nature controls the population of species. It’s cruel that I say that but as a vet’s assistant and worker on a animal ambulance I see a lot of people that call for “abandoned” young animals and see how they tried to place a young bird back into the nest etc. My advice: never touch a young animal unless it’s hurt or really is out of it’s place.
But I want to thank you for your service to endangered animals and species. Squirrels are getting on the brink of extinction due to cutting down trees and forests. And everybody loves to see squirrels with those fluffy tails in the forest gathering nuts and seeds for the winter during a walk through a big forest during autumn.

Up north, if we found a rodent nest in a dangerous place for the animal (like in my dresser or a tarp), all it would take was disturbing the nest even slightly and leaving a clear path to the open front door to have the whole family gone within the hour. It sounds like your momma just wasn't confident in the nests for whatever reason. She seems to like you, but your scent, or just new scents on the babies might have triggered a deep seeded need to move. Happy everyone is okay though!
Thank you for explaining! I was wondering why she would take them out of the nest.
Sharda Hartley True. Dogs actually eat their newborns if they pick up a human scent on them. I expected him to know not to touch them at that age.
@@Turtleback8024 dude, no. You're wrong on so many levels, you literally have the world's knowledge at your fingertips and yet, you still wrote something that stupid and put it out into the world. Dogs will not eat their babies because they smell like a person. They will eat their babies if they are starving, under constant threat (like being next to a freeway or very active public location) and first time mother's can be quicker to eat their young when under high stress. The mother literally is just making the choice to not raise a litter because it's too hostile of an environment and could lead to her death.
You have to be stupid as fuck to think mother animals kill their babies based on smell.
Scent has nothing to do with it. I've raised all types of rodents including squirrels and they don't care about human smell. They care more about the structure and stability of the nest. Rodents like to burrow and make like a small dome that's completely compressed on the sides, warm and cozy in the middle. The way he set it up was for like a bird or a rodent just starting a nest. She didn't want to rebuild the nest (or maybe she did but the babies were in the way) and she had no where to put them.
He would have had better success if he used the fluffy rodent bedding and just fisted it in there until it was like a dome with a small opening to get in. Rodents are way more particular about their nests than birds.
@@khoryvodkamiss9725 nah i feel it was because she goes in her den and all of a sudden see's her den is completely different it wasn't "her" den and felt unsafe so felt the need to move. at the end of the day he was basicly forced to change the whole den and make it pest proof, but he definitely knows now to prepare b4 the babies are born
It felt like i was watching a rescue movie. And the rescuer was doing everything right. And he kept falling into another problem. And the squirrel mama went crazy. It was very exciting, heart breaking. And an awesome ending. I loves it. And i really love squirrels. Your a great squirrel dad.
You're absolutley right, Tasia. He is a great squirrel-daddy! 🐿
well the mother abandoned the puppies because she had his scent in them .,.
She is thinking that the babies were switched (my opinion)
Yes...ur compassion is awesome for your squirrels!! I raised 2 orphans in the spring and recently raised 4 more , just released them into the wilderness...we see all 6 hopping around out there and gathering all the nuts and seeds we leave under the tree where we released them....I'm up to rescuing a baby crow, 2 Bluejays, a mauled Robin (everyone was shocked it survived) it went to a bird sanctuary since it couldn't go back to the wild...also, a blackbird, 5 orphan kittens.

You are truly a wonderful caring gentleman. Without your dedication that poor little baby would not have survived. Thank you so very very much. A real Angel on Earth. ❤️❤️❤️
The cause of this is simple :
You noticed fleas inside the nest, thus cleaned it. The intention was nice, but by doing so (other than removing the pests) you also did 2 things :
1 - You wiped out the scent left in the nest by the babies and the mother.
2 - You replaced the nest's materials, and re-arranged them differently.
This led to the mother believing the nest had been discovered by potential predators, which triggered a re-location behavior, in which the mother squirrel will move her babies into another nest prepared in advance (In the Wild, squirrels prepare around 3-4 dens inside their territory for this kind of situations).
However, as they're pets living in a restricted area, she didn't have a second nest prepared at a suitable distance from the first one, so she ended up roaming around searching for a way out with her baby in the mouth getting weaker and weaker as time passed.
My advice to prevent this from happening again would be to provide them with one or two spare nesting places in different corners of the enclosure. That way she'll be able to prepare spare nests in case she needs to move them, and she won't end up dragging them around the entire enclosure if you need to clean the nesting box from pests.
The best would be to leave them alone, of course, but there are cases when it may be good to intervene, like you did with the fleas (the babies would've been sucked dry by these pests)
Seems plausible.
You are an expert or just theorising?
@@arnonuhm4022 I'm not an expert, just someone who documented himself well as he was really interested in providing nesting boxes for birds and squirrels in his garden
@@RoulicisThe nice.. Thanks for the information.. I loved it..
Yes, he knew all this. And there were extra nests in the enclosure that you can see, and he was clearly leaving them alone as much as possible since he didn't even check on the disappeared mom for several days, not wanting to stress her out. Sometimes animals just don't behave according to prediction, despite your best efforts.
Honestly, helpful comments like this always deserve to be at the top of the comments section.
He's lucky she didn't eat them after he disturbed the nest. Rodents are finicky about that.
Yeah my heart stopped after she had that baby squirrel in her mouth
@@mmaacii same😨😨
I thought she is killing them😨
The reason behind is that horse hairs and other products put in changed the original smell of the nest gave so the mother thought that these weren't her own so she tried to dispose of them... I have seen this behavior and any human intervention at this stage is not good as it may lead to the mother rejecting the kids

@Penelope Causey He said they all made it as everyone likes a happy ending..
It wasn’t you cleaning the box that made her ditch the baby. Animals often abandon babies that are sick or very weak. You cleaning may have been a catalyst to her stressing out enough to behave like that, but it probably would have happened eventually weather or not you did the cleaning, as that baby was clearly not very strong.
And honestly if your options are “clean the box and risk the mother being stressed out” and “Leave the babies to get sick and diseased by letting them live in a pit of fleas” then you made the right call, and doing anything else would have been neglectful, and they all would have then been abandoned.
Okay...
@@vanshikaverma4248 ?
I agree
@matt vanbeekveld this is an outdated train of thought and absolutely incorrect. People used to think the same of birds, but guess what? Birds have an underdeveloped sense of taste and smell, so they don't abandon their babies due to our smell. I've also had rodents for many, many years of my life. There have been 2 occasions in which my mice mommies have died from cancer, a sad reminder that our beloved pet shop rodents hail from lab stock according to our vet, hence the reason they get cancer and respitory infections so often. It's in their DNA. Anyway, I raised 2 lots of newborn baby mice. On both occasions some remarkable things happened. The fathers took over after I'd fed them. I would get up every 3 hours to feed and them give them back to dad who would scoop them up and lay over them to keep them warm until the next feed. We worked in tandem like this until they were grown up and self sufficient. My 3rd experience was with a pet rat who came to me pregnant. Well, she birthed 9 lovely pups. I tried not to interfere too much as I didn't want to disturb her, but I had to clean the cage after a few days, so although I tried not to disturb the nest, I did cause her an enormous amount of anxiety. While cleaning the cage, she began to move her babies out, one by one. I had forgotten to close the door when I went to wash the bowls out and came back to find her babies strewn across my floor in a line towards my wardrobe where she was moving them up into my clothing. So I had to move them all back and her and I ended up being counterproductive as she'd try and move them the moment I put them back. So I put her in a separate box and put all her babies back, then reintroduced her. I covered her cage and prayed for the best as I have had both mice and rats eat their babies before, never a pleasant experience. Well, she had settled down and went back to being an excellent mommy who fed all her babies until weening. The reason they eat or kill their babies is due to ill health, stillborn or stress episodes that cause anxiety. Also lack of food resources may cause her to kill them. It really isn't because of our smell. Over my years of owning rodents, beginning around 5 yrs old under my own mother's guidance up into my 40's with my own children's pet rodents I've seen so many births and infanticide and also assisted many mothers with their litters and I can assure you they don't kill them because of our smell on their babies. If that were the case, I'd have had every litter dead through all of those years. Rodents are fantastic parents, just try not to stress them out or allow their surroundings to cause anxiety. But sometimes we have no choice but to interfere and let me tell you, by being gentle and respectful, you can also gain a mother rodents trust and she will allow you to touch her babies and move them as you clean around them, they're extremely intelligent animals. If you think I'm talking nonsense, please feel free to do your own research and you will find out the truth.
@matt vanbeekveld you don't know much about animals obviously LOL

You can find plenty of videos of people having done this _the_ _right_ _way_ , where the mother will happily let them play with the kits, and coming back next year to visit again.
Taking away the box with the mother watching, and replacing the nest material was really stupid, and alarmed her enough to drag around a kit for an hour, nearly killing it.
But, I guess we all have to learn somehow.
They should be out in woodland not a cage
@@silvergreylion If there are flies on the kits, there are flies everywhere in the enclosure. Flies jump on and off animals to feed and lay their eggs in crevices.
My suggestion was to heat up the entire nest at 160°F for about 2 minutes in an oven and/or to sprinkle diatomaceous earth everywhere in it and around the enclosure. Probably the diatomaceous earth only would have been enough and caused the less disturbance.
But he still has a flea problem.
Where are his horses?
@@silvergreylion THANK YOU!!! Anyone who has cared for a variety of small mammals knows this happens. I just kept watching thinking, "Oh, please don't do that!"
Belleza de animalitos! Y la paciencia de este Señor para cuidarlos! Mucho amor por ellos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for saving all these animals. May God Bless You.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💞👍👍👍👍💙❤💫🦋🕊
Indeed
The fact that the close-up on his hand shows how many scratches and wounds he has that he probably got while caring for these animals
I love to see this wonderful movies, the squirrels are such lovely creature 😍😍😍, and the man whos talking care of them....he has a living soul 💖
❤️🫂
when he thought the baby would not make it . the sadness and desperateness was clearly visible in his eyes !!! u r the real hero man
This was so dramatic. To see such dedication and love for creatures great and small. This man has one of the kindest hearts. God bless you.
@@florastewart7920 well said ....
This man he is literally the most sweetest person he revived little squirrels a vet would probably give up 😭😊
Momma's know when something is wrong with a kit. They often abandon sick ones in the wild because it takes resources from the other kits. It's sad, but survival of the fittest is a very real thing in the wild.
Spookworm Very true. Some of the babies people find and attempt to raise show neurological and other symptoms. Not always, sometimes it's a fluke that they're out of the nest, but sometimes Momma knew something was off.
You are right. But, in thus case,, the mom took a second baby out, it wasn't just the one that needed extra help.
@@awarenessvillage The reason she kept taking babies out was because they all smell of human and she had nowhere else to put them because she thought that the original den was gone because that he was cleaning out the den and the squirrel scent was gone.
Edit: Ive seen the replies and you're right he did raise the squirrels after all and I don't think she would just abandon them because they smelt of human and also the den he cleaned out he did in fact replace the beding with horsehair so that must have been pretty odd for the squirrel to smell a horse instead of her own scent.
That's true, but with respect, "survival of the fittest" refers to an animal's suitability to its environmental niche, not to its physical health and fitness in the modern sense.
@@e.s.r5809 You just twisted that whole thing. Survival of the fittest means the most fit to the environment SURVIVE to carry on the species.
You are adorable just as adorable as the squirrels are. Thank you for being such a great human being.
He is such a beautiful kind hearted squirrel dad.
Yes
Wooooooooooooooo
Wow
Yeah
♥️Yes
Mama got scared when you took her kits and she was trying to move them somewhere you can't find them. You had good intentions. Glad it all went well in the end.
Its because of the horse hair that he used when he prepared the nest.Keep in mind that animals use scent to recognize each other hence the mother squirrel was trying to change them to a different nest.
@@Afrintrepreneur yep, I was thinking she could’ve possibly been seeking help for the first little guy until she tried to move another one then I realized the smell probably just triggered her instincts.
I was thinking too that the mother was terrified to see her babies gone.
Yes...never change the bedding...
Makes sense that’s also y she bit him most squirrels would’ve probably ate their own babies if he had them for too long

Too funny 😂
Must watch his EXPRESSION after he came to know that mama squirrel was alive.
So genuine !!!
God bless him 🙏
Nice job!
If this happens again, or an animal needs it’s body temperature brought back to normal warm levels, take a cup and a half of dry uncooked rice and put it into a tube sock. Tie the sock up at the end & put it into the microwave for 2 minutes. You can place it under a small towel or blanket and it will help warm up the squirrel and the rice sock will stay warm for up to 20 minutes. It will help bring up their temperatures quickly and help to regulate their body temperature. It will also help keep the blankets/towels nice and warm for some time as well. I always heat up 2 rice socks at a time atleast and place them under the animal on both sides.
I keep 6 rice socks in my kitchen drawer for animal emergencies. I’m a vet tech & we use this method quite often to help regulate animals body temperatures. This was even in my books when I was in college. It works incredibly well for juvenile & baby animals as well as seniors or sick animals.
Thanks I saves my chick 🐣
Was the baby in Torpor? Is that why it went into a near death like state?
Wow - that's valuable. Rice absorbs moisture as well in case it's get peed on! Fantastic suggestion!
Fun fact...
Squirrels forget about 80% of the nuts they hide in nature and this is a major contributer to new tree growth.
So true, we have a huge chestnut tree in our garden, the nuts they never dug up, resulting having about 8 to 10 little trees growing now about 2 feet tall!!
So technically I'm a squirrel then, but they aren't nuts...
@Yeet_isgold Yeet_king I don't believe anyone commented that peanuts grow in trees. They might've said that then editeded their comment. Lol
Same for ants!
Fun fact 99% percent of people forget they're nuts.
I rescued baby squirrels who fell out of a tree, 1 fell on top of another, the female on bottom died at the vets office but the male survived (I bottle fed him every 2 hours until he was weened) I raised him to maturity & then moved him to the backyard- he had a family & would visit me everyday.
Thats so nice of you hope more people are like that instead of abandoning the animal which needs their help
Oh my
Congrats, You are e disneyprincess now
@@Jen-gi1fk lol ❤️
Thats awsome can u introduce me to his family 😀
What beautiful animals. Thank you for saving that poor baby 🍼 🐿️🙏
Everybody ganster till the dramatic music doesn’t stop and he goes outside again
You took very good care of him!!!!
Absolutely wonderful video. This is what I wish I normally find on RUclips. Thank you for showing us your journey with your little buddies.
Hey! Love your videos
YES TRUEE
I WUV UR VIDS I WATCHED A COUPLE OOOOOOH
I agree. So cute!
Agree
He’s a good guy, and he had to clean the den. It was full of fleas and those babies would’ve gotten so ill.
Fleas can kill newborn kits, pups, kittens- they are life threatening.
Thank you for sharing this story and video! You are a very special person! Those squirrels are so precious. ❤️❤️❤️
damn this man has to be the nicest person on the earth no the universe
Would make a shitty neighbour tho with the private zoo.
@@gatekeeper84 nah pretty sure he lives is the country side
I'd put him right up there with Bob Ross.
@@frostedhulahoopanda5995 YES
Broxh and him should do a collab lol 🐤
I feel like the abandoned squirrel should be called lucky
your right
He named a turkey lucky already
not so lucky if you ask me
Nah too classic and he has trukey named lucky and he's a male
We could make a movie called lucky in the POV of this squirrel
She wasn't rejecting her babies, that much is certain. She just didn't like your new den materials. Especially the horse hair. The den also smelled like humans and whatever you used to de-flea it. However, someone else was correct when they said she was taking them out to put them in a new nest but she could not find a suitable location. When the baby got too cold and became unresponsive to her, she pulled out another baby to try to "rescue" it from the obnoxious (to them) smell. Rabbits will do the exact same thing. Since you absolutely had to take them out... which you did need to do... the best thing for you to have done would have been to de-flea the existing bedding somehow and use the same bedding in the box so as to make it just like the Mother squirrel wanted it to be. My best suggestion for any time that might happen would be to use diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it within the bedding and on the box, especially anywhere there's seams when you make a nesting box. You'll have no parasites that way because it gets onto the parasites external shell, and kills them but it's harmless to larger animals such as the kits and squirrels.
Your very right since animals use there sense of smell to find there den if they replaced there old den with the smell that feels like home they will leave and find a new nest
Squirrels when they making the nest the mom ripping their own hair to make it comfy . But when the smells are different, or strange like sometimes other birds they leave the nest, or worse killing the babies.
I don’t see how he could deflea it without them coming right back, like could be eggs on the babies, bedding, the earth could get in and damage their eyes while they were opening them, etc. It was gross dirty bedding not suitable for babies. The female is clearly a first time mother and not very smart so I think that is a much more prominent factor too. He did the best he could and I think that his choice to discard the bedding was the best choice available. I don’t know if diatomaceous earth would work, in fact I doubt it. Did you see how massive those fleas were? More likely they’d crawl deeper in any crevices on the poor babies and the babies would get coated in it, not good for the mom’s nipples either while feeding. And any product which wards off bugs is going to smell no matter what... I think the only other things he could and should have done would be to thoroughly wash the horse hair with soap/water, and find actually clean bedding maybe from a different/older/unused den and rub it all over the hair and rest of the new bedding instead.
ok, I understand how I see so mama squirrel is innocent I dint know about the horsehair tho I mean the horsehair keeps the lice away but do the squirrel-like the smell/odor of the horsehair?
Or just dont keep squirrels in prison and you wont have to figure out how they like to live.
You are such a nice person. I love to see that there are still good people left on this planet.

Cutest moment when he went inside his shirt.. almost brought tears in my eyes.. hiding those nuts reminds me of Madagascar movie

Noted : no animal dies when it comes to this channel
Except when the fox ate them
Even if one had died he buries them on a bed of flowers
He lost her brother. Did everything he could, but the odds of even one of them surviving were extremely low.
Only when the fox ate them
Um yes they did 😳
There is so much love in your heart. Thanks for sharing these adventures in caring. ❤

You are so wonderful in what you do ❣️ I love all animals... ( Even a few of the homeliest ones 😅 )
You may not know this, but, not only do you help these beautiful little creatures, you have also been helping me 🦋

They bring big smiles to my face, makes me laugh, and makes me feel better.🦋
Thank you so much for that.....❤
