I’m going to answer some questions in this pinned comment. Why didn’t you go the vet immediately? You can’t simply walk to a vet with a wild squirrel. So it took a few days because I worked with a specialist red squirrel rehabilitator in Stockholm who got me the vet appointment on my behalf. Why did you release and not keep him? Although the transition to the wild isn't going to be easy. It's better to do it when it's summer and still warm. If we did it in the Autumn and waited for him to be older, then the transition would be too stark since there's freezing temperatures. Also mothers kick out their kits when they are 10-12 weeks old. So he’s actually older than other baby squirrels. We could have waited the whole winter, but squirrels mate in their first year so it would actually be quite cruel to keep an animal enclosed. Squirrels can have large home ranges. They can travel long distances to access different fruiting trees. And in the wild, Roo will have the correct diet. Squirrels in captivity can suffer from metabolic bone disease due to a lack of calcium and odontoma, where teeth grow in the incorrect direction and can cause havoc in their adult life (multiple surgeries because they can't maintain their constantly growing teeth). There are many pet squirrels on social media and I personally think the rehabilitators didn't work hard enough to prepare the squirrel for the wild. The squirrel return sick and they think that's it, it's a house squirrel. But the squirrels have health problems and get fat. The wild will always be the best place for Roo. Aren’t avocados toxic to animals? We were very careful to only give him the fruit and not the skin or stone which is toxic to anyone. A small piece of the fruit, every few days along with the rest of his diet was ok. The footage you’re seeing is the highlights of three weeks and may look like he’s eating lots of avocado. But in fact it made a small part of his overall diet. Lastly, if suffered from toxic poisoning, he would had diarrhoea, high temperature or fever which he didn’t have. His stools were normal sized and colour.
Thank goodness Roo recovered 🙏 thank you for your dedication to him 🙏❤️. I totally agree with getting him back to the wild. I know we will never know what affected him, but I wonder if he picked up a local squirrel virus or more likely bacterial flu (since antibiotics helped) from the old drey, or meeting up with wild squirrels that passed it to him. He had his mothers milk for a bit, but the replacement couldn’t fortify his immune system. He also wasn’t exposed to the germs in that environment until released. Thank goodness he returned to you and got well. Thanks for all you do and sharing with us 🤩❤️
I found a squirrel yrs back that had a conclusion from kids and took it home. I did call wildlife but as soon as I said black squirrel they said they would put him down. So I gave it baby formula and when he fully came out of it I started to give him just regular pablum mixed with formula. He soon got his strength back bc he was running around in the apartment chasing my cats and climbing up the drapes. I called wildlife again asking how do I make him wild again. So I did what they said. I put him in a cage and put the cage on the balcony given him less attention ( yes I was still feeding him and a water bottle) He started nipping me and I took this as a sign it was time to let him go, I put him on a stump with peanuts in a wooded area and I said bye little one and started walking. I no soon felt him climbing up my leg so I stopped, he climbed up to my shoulder and kissed me on the cheek. He then climbed back down and went were I left the peanuts. I put a few peanuts on the stump for 3 days and I never seen him after that.
My mom loved our squirrels and birds that would play in our yard, now she's buried underneath where they play. I cry watching the love you both have for life and it's creatures. It's heavenly to see💜
I find it fascinating that your life with squirrels has, so thoroughly, come full-circle. For years you were photographing them and wondering if you could have a relationship with them…and now you are raising one. It’s great Dani, congratulations ☺️
@@mediocreman2 Roo’s sickness was a ruse to get in the house and study the camera instructions… Rue is now fluent in coding and camera equipment….and is just waiting for the ringlight to arrive to start the heavily anticipated squirrel channel. Its obviously going to be a huge hit on youtube ;) (sorry This entire post was so I could use the words together…I originally thought it was Rue…which is such a great name for a high energy animal…Rue Chaos!?? I think I m using that for my villain spy name.
I came here for a red squirrel, but what I found is an amazingly beautiful person, on the inside and out. It's so relaxing and beautiful to watch Dani's videos. The amazing videos and photos are really quite something to watch. I can feel the love in the work she does. I'm having a difficult time in my life these days, but the videos are helping me to relax and see how beautiful life can be. Thank You Dani!!!
Oh! I was crying. I was so afraid we would lose little Roo. He's got such personality, such a character❤. I'm so happy he made it through yet another trauma. I'm so in love with this adorable, beautiful creature!❤❤❤❤ Since watching your videos, all of them ( though Roo is my favorite) i've found myself paying attention to the creatures around me. I was shocked to spot a coyote! I have raccoons who visit my porch at night. I never knew i have grey squirrels right in the trees in front of my home. I now leave out nuts in an old bird bath. You've opened my eyes to a wonderful world. Thank you. Most of all, thanks for sharing little Roo with us. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Roo is a red squirrel - our native species. They are harmless and extremely endearing but they are now very rare. Greys are an alien invasive species, which originate from North America. They are incredibly destructive and have almost wiped out our native red squirrel over most of England and Wales by competition and spreading squirrel pox. Please do no feed grey squirrels.
@operez2116 I was thinking, like a very few, you apparently are so "small" that you felt it necessary to make such a negative comment to someone. With that attitude, you do the World no favors.
@ThePianoMan1953 you don't know me or the life I've led. It puzzles me why you can't be happy that a person had their eyes opened to the joys of nature and the amount of unexpected wildlife in their community. To me, this is something I'm grateful for no matter how or when it occurred in my life. That you criticize or judge me for finding such happiness makes me wonder why you would want to make me feel guilty or bad about this? Are you so miserable that you must try to make me feel " small"? I will no longer reply after this. I will continue to appreciate the new way I see the world around me. When you grow up not even being allowed to have a pet, much less being taken for a walk through the woods, no matter what age you learn to open your eyes to all the beautiful creatures in the world it should be celebrated.
My wife is home all day and has been feeding Antelope squirrels for years at our home in northern Arizona. She has an amazing relationship with seven of them. She knows each one and has given them names. She has food at the sliding glass door and when they come to eat they always come up the the glass, put both paws on the glass and say hi before eating. A couple of them talk to her on occasion, if they have something important to say. Bella is her favorite, and recently gave birth and with one baby in her mouth came up the the glass to it off. Then she put that baby down and picked the other baby up to show it off as well. I love these cute animals and had no idea how intelligent and social they can be. I have much more amazing stories to tell if anyone is interested.
Such a little fighter and so pleased he made it through, especially with all the adversity he conquered with his broken leg. Such a strong spirit and that comes across in these videos.
Indeed Cat & dog parents, & animal lovers in general are the kindest & warmest people you will ever meet. Dani is such a wonderful, attentive & patient mum to these adorable & naughty little squirrels. They are so lucky to have her.
Hi...my Dad brought a baby squirrel home in his lunchbox one day from his job in the forest. We named her Chipper. She would run around the countertop. Get in the cookie jar. She was such fun. I love your video of Roo. Brings back cool memories of my childhood.😊
Oh I would love you to write some children’s books about the antics of Roo! I almost cried when Roo was building his nest. ❤ thank goodness he pulled through. ❤
Scared me. I cried. I’m so happy he’s better. ❤. I live in Florida where the forests are being clear cut and burned with no regard for wildlife. Thank you for showing that their lives are precious
The adventure and beauty of your story is powerful in itself but add your soothing voice and beautiful video editing and wowza, it’s stunning. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the beautiful adventures. It’s an honor to share the planet with you. 🙏
I was nervous to watch, Dani, but you did great! I was nervous for seeing Roo sick, not the video of course. You and Juan are fantastic people for raising Roo, of course he came back for help. He's no dummy!😊
Thank you for sharing Roo's journey with us--but thank you even more for your careful stewarding of him. So glad he made it through his illness--he is lucky for your care. When you said that after his release he could have run away, but he stayed and played chase for two hours, that spoke volumes of his trust and enjoyment of you. Continued high hopes for Roo's successful transition to the wild.
Wow, this episode was a roller-coaster of emotions. I hope that the second time was the charm and that Roo is living happily among his squirrel friends out in the forest nowadays.
I love how your smile lights up around that little squirrel. You have a magnetism to nature and its critters. Animals are so pure…. No alternate agendas. Just living in the moment and it’s contagious if you let it be. 🙂
Although I know he should be wild it makes me so sad that he has to go out there in his own . You have such a beautiful bond with him ❤️ It makes me cry 😢
I think you’ve done such an amazing job with your care of Roo and still trying so hard in preparation of wanting to see him thrive by himself soon in your forest. Such kindness and care, and Roo is such a little delight! ♥️
I bet when you started this you wouldn't of expected that it would be so tough emotionally, we feel connected to little Roo just watching, I can only imagine how you both feel being with him and caring for him. Another great episode Dani, looking forward to the next one.
He is a blessing as are all living things, we are the earths care givers animals usually fear us but still come to us for aid. THANK YOU FOR BEING KIND TO HIM!
I congratulate you for extending Roo's life from the beginning. Not everyone has the skills or knowledge to do so, as you have demonstrated. Thank you for sharing and wish you all the peace and success for the future.
He's licking you because he loves you, and as a wild squirrel he will see you as his property. I think he will always recognise both of you and will be a frequent visitor. Squirrels are the most amazing animals and they do recognise people, he will always know he can come back if he's unwell and just to visit. Thank you for caring for little Roo.
Dani, I hope you see this comment as it is my first but certainly not last. I found your videos recently and subbed immediately. I live in North Carolina, the southern US and care for a feed about 20-30 wild squirrels daily. One young lady I've named Squeeze has taken to me and knocks on my windows and waits for me daily. I couldn't figure out why she was so comfortable with me as opposed to the other squirrels, but soon realize she had made her nest on a little eve that overlooks my kitchen window, and I am a chef, so for her entire life she has been with me there while I cook and I didn't know it. I keep the kitchen window open with a screen. I now have taken the screen out and allow her to sit in the window as I cook. I thank nature for this special relationship, but will not invite her into my home as to keep her wild, even though I would love to squeeze her, which is why I named her Squeeze lol. On another note, I found you at a time in my life where I had lost inspiration and possibly become depressed. Your videos and you personally gave me Hope and Spirit again. I wanted to thank you for that. Even though you are so young, I look at you like a Jane Goodall mixed with Else Holmelund, Maurice Sendak, who do a series/ books called Little Bear and A.A. Milne from Winnie the Pooh. You have a gift for storytelling and art, but in a way that reaches into people's hearts and souls and restores a feeling of innocence, childhood innocence. I wanted to thank you for sharing that gift with the world and encourage you that whatever your plans were when you started this to be flexible. Know that you have a gift of helping people interact with nature in ways that endear them to the world, and that is an important responsibility but also a gift. Thank you for sharing with us Dani, you have quickly become my hero of a lifetime and not only inspired me but saved me from depression with your videos and storytelling, a unique gift that you so graciously share. Thank you for being a voice and eyes for nature. God bless you Dani. You and your partner and Roo and all the living things graced enough to be in your orbit. Yours, Meredith ❤🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️❤
I hope my reply isn't censored like most. I had a squirrel who knocked on my door and did tricks on the screen for me. He came in my window and I would feed him nuts for around 2 years. I have 2 videos on RUclips of him coming in the window. I wish I had more video and I miss my squirrel friend.
This is such a wonderful video. I'm so thankful/happy, to see that he made it through his recovery. He's quite a little champion. Sometimes things don't always go as planned. I'm happy to see that he is doing so well. The feeding station in the woods, is a great idea. Hopefully he'll continue to do better, & will eventually be able to live completely self-sufficient, on his own. Thanks so much for sharing this w/us DaniiConnerWild.
thanks for lookin out for Roo, he really is a special guy, they all are, but Roo holds celebrity status and many of his hold a place in our hearts for him and his kind . . i'm pullin for ya Roo! smart move going to find momma at the cage, good thing momma reacted so quickly! get well soon buddy!
Fascinating and heartwarming. I wonder if being out of his normal habitat while he was growing up has meant that he hasn't picked up his natural immunity from germs and viruses, making him more susceptible to infections like this one.
I cannot stop smiling when I see a 'Roo' video. He is absolutely gorgeous and you Dani have done an incredible job caring for him and it's wonderful to see the bond that has been created between you; so rewarding. Bless you Dani and Roo too.
Something calming and beautiful, with your background music content and the pace of your voice. It's an escape from my urban groundhog day in Derby UK. Well done.
Dani, you’re an angel for loving and caring for Roo. I sincerely hope he can make the transition to being a wild squirrel. He is amazingly adorable. 😊❤️🐿
Isn't he gorgeous. It's so rewarding to help a little creature like Roo, win his trust and create such a strong bond. I am praying that this story has a happy ending. Thank you Danni for all you are doing. God bless.
Can’t wait to watch the next episode! The quality of this video is so good and my love for Roo and you both as caretakers is growing so much❤. I feel this is meant to be and it fills my heart with joy to be witness off. Much love for you 3❤
Thank you for your lovely videos which give the sense of the importance of life; these days in Italy there are a lot of terrible news about animals killed or injured by stupid people which don't have any respect for life. You give an example of love for nature and our friends animals! Thank you and we are waiting for news about the sweet squirrel❤ Love from Italy!
I know its been an extremely cold winter in Sweden and I can't help but wonder if Roo is going to make it. I looked up the statistics for juvenile squirrels survival their first year and its sobering. Knowing you and Juan will be keeping the feeding station full is a huge relief. I hope Roo is getting the occasional avocado snack too! Crossed 🤞
It must have been so worrying when he came back so poorly but, yes, he’s a fighter. Here’s hoping the second release will go well. Thank you for another lovely video that brightened up my Saturday with its beautiful colours and enchanting little fluffball of chaos that Roo is. Your relationship with him is beautiful to watch and the lengths you go to, to help him be the wild squirrel he’s meant to be. ❤
Little dude was exhausted. Burnt all his calories with his new found excitement. That compromised his immune system. I imagine he will be fine as long as he gets all the food he needs.
I was wondering about that myself... How much energy he's getting from his rehab diet vs how much he would get in the wild. Also, I have never seen anything move as fast as Roo. So I think what you're saying has more than an ounce of truth there. Pretty sure Squirrel Mum has it all worked out. Let's see! 🐿😊
I’m guessing he might also miss some of the antibodies he would get from his mother? So maybe his immune system isn’t the best. A wild guess though. I’m sure the food situation will be ok. Normally the mother will nurse them until she tells them to **** off and mind their own business 😅 Bless em.
I think they should perhaps have given him some extra food to get back all that energy he burned playing around. Some food in the enclosure to make sure he doesn't go hungry would help as well.
I was amazed he could keep going on and on non stop for so long, and at such speed. He was so over excited by all the novelty of this wild life, he certainly exhausted himself. Such a clever one, realising he needed help and finding his way back to his carers. Such a strong bond, but you saved his life three times already. Cats are said to have 9 lives, how wonder how many lives a little red squirrel can have. I would not have a clue what to do if I were to find a wild animal injured or sick so I admire your knowledge and dedication. Thank you so much for I achieving what I could only dream of doing.You're great.
Fascinating story , what great help he has , and proper look after, easy to understand the vets doesn't see straight away a wild animal , not going to various proper reasons, people instead of making comments they can search and read first , more than sure he did get cold , is not full prepared to live in the forest where u have a place of ur own in case of cold rain , forests always are colder in rain , cos is no sun going trough ... this why easy to understand he remembered his wood shelter(box) and came back , the squerel instinct and memories are fabulous good , but we'll done and high level of care given , including take him to vet ... amazing life and story ❤
What a lovely video, we have watched so many of them they have been brilliant, but I have really enjoyed these. I really thought he wasn’t going to make it, I kept holding my breath, but you really did do everything for this little chap. Thanks for sharing it with us Dani, you love what you do and it shines through.
people dont seem to realise how tuff it is for young squirrels alot die from starvation and predation, right from when they leave on there own they need to find food, shelter and know what a predator is or its game over thats why mortality is high ,being an orphan he probably wasn't meant to survive and wouldn't of without your help ,thankfully your an amazing person with a love for nature, I hope he learns the skills needed to survive in the wild and meet some other squirrels, stay safe Roo ! ❤😊
Dani, it's hearmoving the way you care for nature , specially for your little friend squirrel When he got sick, tears came to my eyes, and I thank God that the world still has humans like you ..who deserve to be called Human Beings.. Congrats from Brazil.❤❤😍😍🌹🌹 Bill.
Poor Roo. I have been watching him grow, how excited he was to get in the wild, he’s so fast and playful. I’m glad he recovered and I hope his next wild release is more successful.
Hello Dani, I one of the few thousand people who view and participate on the wonderful online cams of the Coastal Brown Bears at the Books Falls @ Katmai National Park every year. Starting is early to mid summer, the Salon run starts slowly and then gets to full as the salmon return to where they were born 2 years earlier to spawn a new generation and the Brown Bears, Wolves, Eagles , and a fox or two will take advantage of the funnel effect of the waterfall to fish for the salmon. It is Truly amazing to watch and get into and you're gonna LOVE IT . The most popular bears have names and or numbers and we are absolutely in love with them. I can not wait for when you share that trip ... In the Mean time,,, YOU GO ROO and I agree, better to be free ... he can always come and visit :)
Hi Dani, Roo is incredible and my husband and I are in complete love with him……THANK YOU for all your doing for him, you’re right, he knew you both could help him…..you’re an amazing couple and the dedication you’re both giving to Roo is admirable and he’s so lucky to have you both……I wish everyone was like you…..xxx❤xxx
I've watched my squirrels with more emotion since meeting Roo. One was smuggling out pillow fluff and I was cheering him on instead of shooing him off. Thank you for sharing your gift of grace and beauty.
Oh my gosh, this is one of the best nature videos I've seen in a long time, your story telling and narration is excellent. I was so overcome with so many emotions watching this, and being a squirrel lover myself I was sad to wonder if the 2 squirrels I feed would ever need help. Thank you Dani, for your wonderful videos. Much love from Susan in the 🇬🇧 xxx ❤❤❤
Our dogs brought a baby squirrel in (many years ago) curled up little guy bleeding from his nose, eyes closed, certainly was very young, we bottle fed him, nutured him through squirrel pox etc, until he was full grown, then we tried releasing him the next spring in our back yard (lots of big trees) but he was terrified of the open sky!-so I put his cage out there, covered with a towel, water, food, and left the door open, and wiithin 4-5 days he was checking things out, and he succesfully transitioned in the end. We saw "bubbles" all that summer and the next, he grew very large! Anytime we'd go out there, if he came by, he'd charge over and run up our leg to sit on our shoulder(s) -painful if you had shorts on... he certainly lived past 3 yrs...but we didn't see him after that 3rd winter...
I'm so so pleased that Roo made it through ok and doing great. I truly believe you should keep Roo as a kind of wild pet. Keep his enclosure, make it bigger but don't risk releasing him and losing him. Roo is so special and loved, he knows it and he loves you both. You have done an amazing job with him.
You know they won't do that. Even if he does come back regularly, he will learn to survive as a wild squirrel amd raise a family, or die trying. It has already been worth it for the love they've shared and the experiences both sides have had that both sides normally wouldn't get. And for us and everyone that watches this series. 💙💙💙
Hi Dani, it's so incredibel to see you so intimate with Roo, but I know he is a wild animal, thank God he's feeling better, he'll find his way into the wild, thank you Dani for this incredibly beautiful video 🐿❤️❤️❤️
Amazing work! I hope he lives long and does well in the wild. In the future if you find another baby squirrel it might help them survive better if you let them forage for food early on. You could hide nuts and pine cones around the enclosure or make little foraging toys out of toilet paper rolls etc. I know a lot of wild life rehabers do the same with wild animals to help them learn important foraging skills. And even if the animal can never be released back into the wild it really helps them to be engaged and use their brains
I really like these Series! Squirrels are amazing. Didn’t actually know how conscious they are about family. Its really cute, and so amazing he knew he could get help. Really smart.
I really don't think that being wild matters, he is free to go wherever he likes, and to come back home when he wants to. That is the perfect life for anyone.
It does matter. Dependency will only kill it. (Edit: I should elaborate, dependency would keep it physically alive, as it is now getting food from you, however also killing it's ability to self-sustain and training the next generation of squirrels to also become dependent on human involvement, drastically altering the nature of the species.)
The whole idea of returning a squirrel to the "wild" makes no sense since squirrels live amongst people anyways. We use to have a couple of trees in our backyard in our old home and there were wild squirrels who lived there and often roam around in our yard. You can see them in parks and most residential areas. Just release the squirrel in your backyard and let him live in a nearby tree if he wants.
@@tomtube1012 or, don't intervene to begin with and you won't have any problems neither will the natural systems in place. Human ego _thinks_ it knows best
@@domestinger8805 They already intervened. You can't turn back time. Also, if they hadn't intervened, it would have been dead already. So this just proves you were wrong about dependency killing it, it's non-intervention that would have killed it. 😃
Oh girl, you do very special things. Thank you for this nice report. Now for me there is only the long wait for the next episode. Greetings from the Netherlands, (Haarlem).
I love looking at this type of videos. It helps humans to take care of any animals that needs help. How thankfully the animals will be for the humans who saved their lives and healed them. I would like to see more of these videos. Well done and keep it up.
What a beautiful area you live in. Up where my uncle used to live in Port Hope, Ontario, there was a river nearby where the salmon went up. If I had the means, I'd live out closer to nature like this. Great channel, love Rue! I hope he makes it thru everything. The bond between you two is special!
Hello dear Danni, I have a couple of squirrels every day on my balcony in Berlin. They're so cute and adaptable. I love these animals. And you're a super squirrel mom and animal lover. Keep it up.
Dear Dani you're doing fantastic work,,, especially you took care of little squirrel when she got ill that was heart touching... even I felt at one point of time that is she dead or so but thank God she was alive and later survived with your endless efforts....👏👏👏👍👍👍❤❤❤
I'm so happy Roo is better, I was so afraid he was sick 😢 but now I'm happy again 🤗 Roo is a beautiful and fighter baby 🐿 I think it's better he stays at home with you 😢❤ I know he's a wild animal, but I thing he likes to sleep warm and cozy 🦦 and he loves to eat avocado 🥑 I'm sure he won"t find that kind of food in the wild 😢 And if he never learn how to be warm in the wild?😢😢😢
What a wonderful video. I've seen them all and I'm excited to see what happens next. I really hope that the story has a good ending. Kind regards from Austria. 🙂
I live in UK suburbs, a friend found a tiny baby squirrel & took him in.. He did well & through the summer lived free in the garden but returned indoors at night.. Eventually he moved very gradually into the woodlands behind the garden but still returned "home" every two to three days for extra food.. Now sometimes he still visits & will tap on the kitchen window!! Wild ones are far more more intelligent than we give credit foe. Thank you for helping Roo, every life is a precious spark.
Oh my word, seeing Roo doing his zoomies on the trees was such a delight to watch and I was brought to tears at his return and subsequent illness! Thank God you managed to get the antibiotics for him, you've done an amazing job with this little fascinating Squirrel.
I’m going to answer some questions in this pinned comment.
Why didn’t you go the vet immediately?
You can’t simply walk to a vet with a wild squirrel. So it took a few days because I worked with a specialist red squirrel rehabilitator in Stockholm who got me the vet appointment on my behalf.
Why did you release and not keep him?
Although the transition to the wild isn't going to be easy. It's better to do it when it's summer and still warm. If we did it in the Autumn and waited for him to be older, then the transition would be too stark since there's freezing temperatures. Also mothers kick out their kits when they are 10-12 weeks old. So he’s actually older than other baby squirrels. We could have waited the whole winter, but squirrels mate in their first year so it would actually be quite cruel to keep an animal enclosed. Squirrels can have large home ranges.
They can travel long distances to access different fruiting trees. And in the wild, Roo will have the correct diet. Squirrels in captivity can suffer from metabolic bone disease due to a lack of calcium and odontoma, where teeth grow in the incorrect direction and can cause havoc in their adult life (multiple surgeries because they can't maintain their constantly growing teeth). There are many pet squirrels on social media and I personally think the rehabilitators didn't work hard enough to prepare the squirrel for the wild. The squirrel return sick and they think that's it, it's a house squirrel. But the squirrels have health problems and get fat.
The wild will always be the best place for Roo.
Aren’t avocados toxic to animals?
We were very careful to only give him the fruit and not the skin or stone which is toxic to anyone. A small piece of the fruit, every few days along with the rest of his diet was ok. The footage you’re seeing is the highlights of three weeks and may look like he’s eating lots of avocado. But in fact it made a small part of his overall diet. Lastly, if suffered from toxic poisoning, he would had diarrhoea, high temperature or fever which he didn’t have. His stools were normal sized and colour.
I didn’t see the questions but I love your answers, which to me seem spot on.
You're doing a great job with him! Aw, he's adorable. Poor little thing. I hope it all works out.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank goodness Roo recovered 🙏 thank you for your dedication to him 🙏❤️. I totally agree with getting him back to the wild. I know we will never know what affected him, but I wonder if he picked up a local squirrel virus or more likely bacterial flu (since antibiotics helped) from the old drey, or meeting up with wild squirrels that passed it to him. He had his mothers milk for a bit, but the replacement couldn’t fortify his immune system. He also wasn’t exposed to the germs in that environment until released. Thank goodness he returned to you and got well. Thanks for all you do and sharing with us 🤩❤️
I hope you can inspire people to not keeping wild animals.
I found a squirrel yrs back that had a conclusion from kids and took it home. I did call wildlife but as soon as I said black squirrel they said they would put him down. So I gave it baby formula and when he fully came out of it I started to give him just regular pablum mixed with formula. He soon got his strength back bc he was running around in the apartment chasing my cats and climbing up the drapes. I called wildlife again asking how do I make him wild again. So I did what they said. I put him in a cage and put the cage on the balcony given him less attention ( yes I was still feeding him and a water bottle) He started nipping me and I took this as a sign it was time to let him go, I put him on a stump with peanuts in a wooded area and I said bye little one and started walking. I no soon felt him climbing up my leg so I stopped, he climbed up to my shoulder and kissed me on the cheek. He then climbed back down and went were I left the peanuts. I put a few peanuts on the stump for 3 days and I never seen him after that.
My mom loved our squirrels and birds that would play in our yard, now she's buried underneath where they play. I cry watching the love you both have for life and it's creatures. It's heavenly to see💜

That's not full circle. That's more like 180 degrees. If the squirrels start photographing her, then we're talking. 😅
@@mediocreman2 Roo’s sickness was a ruse to get in the house and study the camera instructions… Rue is now fluent in coding and camera equipment….and is just waiting for the ringlight to arrive to start the heavily anticipated squirrel channel.

It will be full circle, once the squirrel starts recording her life and nursing her.
Yes great true story with your love for squirrels. 😘👍🐿️
I am still not decided on who is cuter amoung two av you 😊 !
I came here for a red squirrel, but what I found is an amazingly beautiful person, on the inside and out. It's so relaxing and beautiful to watch Dani's videos. The amazing videos and photos are really quite something to watch. I can feel the love in the work she does.
I'm having a difficult time in my life these days, but the videos are helping me to relax and see how beautiful life can be.
Thank You Dani!!!

Oh! I was crying. I was so afraid we would lose little Roo. He's got such personality, such a character❤. I'm so happy he made it through yet another trauma. I'm so in love with this adorable, beautiful creature!❤❤❤❤
Since watching your videos, all of them ( though Roo is my favorite) i've found myself paying attention to the creatures around me. I was shocked to spot a coyote! I have raccoons who visit my porch at night. I never knew i have grey squirrels right in the trees in front of my home. I now leave out nuts in an old bird bath. You've opened my eyes to a wonderful world. Thank you. Most of all, thanks for sharing little Roo with us. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Roo is a red squirrel - our native species. They are harmless and extremely endearing but they are now very rare.
Greys are an alien invasive species, which originate from North America. They are incredibly destructive and have almost wiped out our native red squirrel over most of England and Wales by competition and spreading squirrel pox. Please do no feed grey squirrels.
Quite sad to read that you need a video to realize you've got animals living around you!!! Sad.
@paquitoperez2116 Well, I'm in a small city. I did not expect to find a fox, coyotes, raccoons, and opossum in my very high traffic area.
@operez2116 I was thinking, like a very few, you apparently are so "small" that you felt it necessary to make such a negative comment to someone. With that attitude, you do the World no favors.
@ThePianoMan1953 you don't know me or the life I've led. It puzzles me why you can't be happy that a person had their eyes opened to the joys of nature and the amount of unexpected wildlife in their community. To me, this is something I'm grateful for no matter how or when it occurred in my life. That you criticize or judge me for finding such happiness makes me wonder why you would want to make me feel guilty or bad about this? Are you so miserable that you must try to make me feel
" small"? I will no longer reply after this. I will continue to appreciate the new way I see the world around me.
When you grow up not even being allowed to have a pet, much less being taken for a walk through the woods, no matter what age you learn to open your eyes to all the beautiful creatures in the world it should be celebrated.
My wife is home all day and has been feeding Antelope squirrels for years at our home in northern Arizona. She has an amazing relationship with seven of them. She knows each one and has given them names. She has food at the sliding glass door and when they come to eat they always come up the the glass, put both paws on the glass and say hi before eating. A couple of them talk to her on occasion, if they have something important to say. Bella is her favorite, and recently gave birth and with one baby in her mouth came up the the glass to it off. Then she put that baby down and picked the other baby up to show it off as well. I love these cute animals and had no idea how intelligent and social they can be. I have much more amazing stories to tell if anyone is interested.
Sounds like you and your wife need to create your own squirrel channel!!! Would love to see it!!!!
Thank you so much for taking care of the baby squirrel. You and your partner are truly a special people..
Thank you for being kind to animals. How beautiful it is when humans and nature reconcile
I couldn't watch until I read some comments and realized he was okay. Such a sweet little guy. I'm really rooting for him.
Great job! You made his life better by not making him feel lonesome. He needed you and you are proof that Angels Walk The Earth
Such a little fighter and so pleased he made it through, especially with all the adversity he conquered with his broken leg. Such a strong spirit and that comes across in these videos.
It's a blessing to see your spirit of kindness to Roo. You couldn't possibly receive enough thank yous. THANK YOU.
You're the best squirrel mom ever with all that love.
And like all Moms she got slightly impatient and weather worn from the effort. 🙂
U been a wonder mom to Roo. Ur an incredibly beautiful soul.
Indeed Cat & dog parents, & animal lovers in general are the kindest & warmest people you will ever meet. Dani is such a wonderful, attentive & patient mum to these adorable & naughty little squirrels. They are so lucky to have her.
Hi...my Dad brought a baby squirrel home in his lunchbox one day from his job in the forest. We named her Chipper. She would run around the countertop. Get in the cookie jar. She was such fun. I love your video of Roo.
Brings back cool memories of my childhood.😊
Not a dry eye in the house. That's one lucky kid. Mum and Dad doing a phenomenal job there. Much love. ❤
Your videos show what we all instinctively know, but some of us forget. Every creature on earth is important. Every one of them. Thanks 😎
Absolutely correct Sir ! 100%
Go vegan
@@Barnaclebeard lol
"Look at the birds of the air. I tell you that not one of them falls to the ground without my say so." God.
but what about termites, mosquitos,...
Thank you for letting him free, you are free also, the nature will welcome you with joy.
Roo, the little red squirrel who will make you smile, laugh, hope, despair and relieve in less than half an hour! Thanks to you two.👴☺🤗
Oh I would love you to write some children’s books about the antics of Roo! I almost cried when Roo was building his nest. ❤ thank goodness he pulled through. ❤
Scared me. I cried. I’m so happy he’s better. ❤. I live in Florida where the forests are being clear cut and burned with no regard for wildlife. Thank you for showing that their lives are precious
Go vegan or be honest with yourself that these feelings are unimportant to you and you are being performative.
that’s terrible about losing forests and wildlife 😢
@@sjain8111 yes the United States complains about brazil destroying the rainforest, but they do it here too. Sad
The adventure and beauty of your story is powerful in itself but add your soothing voice and beautiful video editing and wowza, it’s stunning. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the beautiful adventures. It’s an honor to share the planet with you. 🙏
Poor ….. such a fighter … such a sweet little guy ….. wonderful video - thank you
Thanks for taking such a great care of this little guy, GOD BLESS YOU young lady 🙏
I was nervous to watch, Dani, but you did great! I was nervous for seeing Roo sick, not the video of course. You and Juan are fantastic people for raising Roo, of course he came back for help. He's no dummy!😊
Thank you for sharing Roo's journey with us--but thank you even more for your careful stewarding of him. So glad he made it through his illness--he is lucky for your care. When you said that after his release he could have run away, but he stayed and played chase for two hours, that spoke volumes of his trust and enjoyment of you. Continued high hopes for Roo's successful transition to the wild.
Wow, this episode was a roller-coaster of emotions. I hope that the second time was the charm and that Roo is living happily among his squirrel friends out in the forest nowadays.
It is a wonderful feeling when a wild animal trusts you and accepts you, but also responsibility and care in gratitude for the gift of trust.❤🐿
Thanks for taking care of Roo the way you do, he couldnt have made it without you. God bless!!❤
I love how your smile lights up around that little squirrel. You have a magnetism to nature and its critters. Animals are so pure…. No alternate agendas. Just living in the moment and it’s contagious if you let it be. 🙂
Although I know he should be wild it makes me so sad that he has to go out there in his own .
You have such a beautiful bond with him ❤️
It makes me cry 😢
Poor little Roo! 😍You keep getting yourself in trouble. 😉You're lucky to have such great "parents"! Well done, all three of you!
Thank you Fredrik! 🫶🏻
You and Roo have broken open this crusty old heart. Tears of joy. Tears of concern. Tears of relief. Thank you for sharing this journey.
Hi Lori, how's your day going with you?
@@msal4112 thanks for the thumbs up, how are you spending your spare time?
I think you’ve done such an amazing job with your care of Roo and still trying so hard in preparation of wanting to see him thrive by himself soon in your forest. Such kindness and care, and Roo is such a little delight! ♥️
I bet when you started this you wouldn't of expected that it would be so tough emotionally, we feel connected to little Roo just watching, I can only imagine how you both feel being with him and caring for him. Another great episode Dani, looking forward to the next one.
He is a blessing as are all living things, we are the earths care givers animals usually fear us but still come to us for aid. THANK YOU FOR BEING KIND TO HIM!
god bless you for looking after that little animal
I congratulate you for extending Roo's life from the beginning. Not everyone has the skills or knowledge to do so, as you have demonstrated. Thank you for sharing and wish you all the peace and success for the future.
He's licking you because he loves you, and as a wild squirrel he will see you as his property. I think he will always recognise both of you and will be a frequent visitor. Squirrels are the most amazing animals and they do recognise people, he will always know he can come back if he's unwell and just to visit. Thank you for caring for little Roo.
Keep me informed. Your story with him brings tears to my eyes and 😢 touched my heart ❤️
Better storytelling than Disney, thank you!
Had to cry. Wat great people you both are helping Roo to get into the wild. Much love from the Netherlands.
Dani, I hope you see this comment as it is my first but certainly not last. I found your videos recently and subbed immediately. I live in North Carolina, the southern US and care for a feed about 20-30 wild squirrels daily. One young lady I've named Squeeze has taken to me and knocks on my windows and waits for me daily. I couldn't figure out why she was so comfortable with me as opposed to the other squirrels, but soon realize she had made her nest on a little eve that overlooks my kitchen window, and I am a chef, so for her entire life she has been with me there while I cook and I didn't know it. I keep the kitchen window open with a screen. I now have taken the screen out and allow her to sit in the window as I cook. I thank nature for this special relationship, but will not invite her into my home as to keep her wild, even though I would love to squeeze her, which is why I named her Squeeze lol. On another note, I found you at a time in my life where I had lost inspiration and possibly become depressed. Your videos and you personally gave me Hope and Spirit again. I wanted to thank you for that. Even though you are so young, I look at you like a Jane Goodall mixed with Else Holmelund, Maurice Sendak, who do a series/ books called Little Bear and A.A. Milne from Winnie the Pooh. You have a gift for storytelling and art, but in a way that reaches into people's hearts and souls and restores a feeling of innocence, childhood innocence. I wanted to thank you for sharing that gift with the world and encourage you that whatever your plans were when you started this to be flexible. Know that you have a gift of helping people interact with nature in ways that endear them to the world, and that is an important responsibility but also a gift. Thank you for sharing with us Dani, you have quickly become my hero of a lifetime and not only inspired me but saved me from depression with your videos and storytelling, a unique gift that you so graciously share. Thank you for being a voice and eyes for nature. God bless you Dani. You and your partner and Roo and all the living things graced enough to be in your orbit. Yours, Meredith ❤🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️❤
Beautifully said. Big love to you as well.
There is so much love the way you look at Roo.
You have expressed my own sentiments about Dani so eloquently and precisely. ❤
I hope my reply isn't censored like most. I had a squirrel who knocked on my door and did tricks on the screen for me. He came in my window and I would feed him nuts for around 2 years. I have 2 videos on RUclips of him coming in the window. I wish I had more video and I miss my squirrel friend.
This is such a wonderful video. I'm so thankful/happy, to see that he made it through his recovery. He's quite a little champion. Sometimes things don't always go as planned. I'm happy to see that he is doing so well. The feeding station in the woods, is a great idea. Hopefully he'll continue to do better, & will eventually be able to live completely self-sufficient, on his own. Thanks so much for sharing this w/us DaniiConnerWild.
thanks for lookin out for Roo, he really is a special guy, they all are, but Roo holds celebrity status and many of his hold a place in our hearts for him and his kind . . i'm pullin for ya Roo! smart move going to find momma at the cage, good thing momma reacted so quickly! get well soon buddy!
Fascinating and heartwarming. I wonder if being out of his normal habitat while he was growing up has meant that he hasn't picked up his natural immunity from germs and viruses, making him more susceptible to infections like this one.
That and never having met a creature that may harm him will be a threat. Good to see that Roo has innate instincts.
Thanks for the hard work with saving Roo and sharing the video with us.
WOW…what a lucky little guy! You are amazing! Thanks for taking me along!
I cannot stop smiling when I see a 'Roo' video. He is absolutely gorgeous and you Dani have done an incredible job caring for him and it's wonderful to see the bond that has been created between you; so rewarding. Bless you Dani and Roo too.
You have both been so wonderful with Roo. It's so hard with wild animals and you have been doing such a great job.
Keep on fighting, Roo.
Something calming and beautiful, with your background music content and the pace of your voice. It's an escape from my urban groundhog day in Derby UK. Well done.
Dani, you’re an angel for loving and caring for Roo. I sincerely hope he can make the transition to being a wild squirrel. He is amazingly adorable.
😊❤️🐿
Well done Dani , you are doing an amazing job
Isn't he gorgeous. It's so rewarding to help a little creature like Roo, win his trust and create such a strong bond. I am praying that this story has a happy ending. Thank you Danni for all you are doing. God bless.
Can’t wait to watch the next episode! The quality of this video is so good and my love for Roo and you both as caretakers is growing so much❤. I feel this is meant to be and it fills my heart with joy to be witness off. Much love for you 3❤
Thank you so much Alana, that’s very kind of you. 🫶🏻
Thank you for your lovely videos which give the sense of the importance of life; these days in Italy there are a lot of terrible news about animals killed or injured by stupid people which don't have any respect for life. You give an example of love for nature and our friends animals! Thank you and we are waiting for news about the sweet squirrel❤ Love from Italy!
Many people don't realise how many small and big heroes and fighters are out there. And that's why we too often have too little respect for them.
I know its been an extremely cold winter in Sweden and I can't help but wonder if Roo is going to make it. I looked up the statistics for juvenile squirrels survival their first year and its sobering. Knowing you and Juan will be keeping the feeding station full is a huge relief. I hope Roo is getting the occasional avocado snack too! Crossed 🤞
It must have been so worrying when he came back so poorly but, yes, he’s a fighter. Here’s hoping the second release will go well. Thank you for another lovely video that brightened up my Saturday with its beautiful colours and enchanting little fluffball of chaos that Roo is. Your relationship with him is beautiful to watch and the lengths you go to, to help him be the wild squirrel he’s meant to be. ❤
Just a magnificent video. Your loving care kept dear Roo alive. Thanks !!
Little dude was exhausted. Burnt all his calories with his new found excitement. That compromised his immune system.
I imagine he will be fine as long as he gets all the food he needs.
I was wondering about that myself... How much energy he's getting from his rehab diet vs how much he would get in the wild. Also, I have never seen anything move as fast as Roo. So I think what you're saying has more than an ounce of truth there. Pretty sure Squirrel Mum has it all worked out. Let's see! 🐿😊
I’m guessing he might also miss some of the antibodies he would get from his mother? So maybe his immune system isn’t the best. A wild guess though. I’m sure the food situation will be ok. Normally the mother will nurse them until she tells them to **** off and mind their own business 😅 Bless em.
@@blobfishrescueI think this is a very good guess!
I think they should perhaps have given him some extra food to get back all that energy he burned playing around. Some food in the enclosure to make sure he doesn't go hungry would help as well.
I was amazed he could keep going on and on non stop for so long, and at such speed. He was so over excited by all the novelty of this wild life, he certainly exhausted himself. Such a clever one, realising he needed help and finding his way back to his carers. Such a strong bond, but you saved his life three times already. Cats are said to have 9 lives, how wonder how many lives a little red squirrel can have. I would not have a clue what to do if I were to find a wild animal injured or sick so I admire your knowledge and dedication. Thank you so much for I achieving what I could only dream of doing.You're great.
Fascinating story , what great help he has , and proper look after, easy to understand the vets doesn't see straight away a wild animal , not going to various proper reasons, people instead of making comments they can search and read first , more than sure he did get cold , is not full prepared to live in the forest where u have a place of ur own in case of cold rain , forests always are colder in rain , cos is no sun going trough ... this why easy to understand he remembered his wood shelter(box) and came back , the squerel instinct and memories are fabulous good , but we'll done and high level of care given , including take him to vet ... amazing life and story ❤
You are such a wonderful caring mother!
What a lovely video, we have watched so many of them they have been brilliant, but I have really enjoyed these.
I really thought he wasn’t going to make it, I kept holding my breath, but you really did do everything for this little chap.
Thanks for sharing it with us Dani, you love what you do and it shines through.
people dont seem to realise how tuff it is for young squirrels alot die from starvation and predation, right from when they leave on there own they need to find food, shelter and know what a predator is or its game over thats why mortality is high ,being an orphan he probably wasn't meant to survive and wouldn't of without your help ,thankfully your an amazing person with a love for nature, I hope he learns the skills needed to survive in the wild and meet some other squirrels, stay safe Roo ! ❤😊
Danke Dani ,,dass Du Deine Erfahrungen mit Rue mit uns teilst, hoffentlich bleibt Rue gesund, alles Liebe für Dich und Rue!
Dani, it's hearmoving the way you care for nature , specially for your little friend squirrel When he got sick, tears came to my eyes, and I thank God that the world still has humans like you ..who deserve to be called Human Beings.. Congrats from Brazil.❤❤😍😍🌹🌹
Bill.
Poor Roo. I have been watching him grow, how excited he was to get in the wild, he’s so fast and playful. I’m glad he recovered and I hope his next wild release is more successful.
You did such a great job helping Roo! ❤
Hello Dani, I one of the few thousand people who view and participate on the wonderful online cams of the Coastal Brown Bears at the Books Falls @ Katmai National Park every year. Starting is early to mid summer, the Salon run starts slowly and then gets to full as the salmon return to where they were born 2 years earlier to spawn a new generation and the Brown Bears, Wolves, Eagles , and a fox or two will take advantage of the funnel effect of the waterfall to fish for the salmon.
It is Truly amazing to watch and get into and you're gonna LOVE IT . The most popular bears have names and or numbers and we are absolutely in love with them. I can not wait for when you share that trip ...
In the Mean time,,, YOU GO ROO and I agree, better to be free ... he can always come and visit :)
Amazing! I’m very excited for the trip. I’ve never seen a wild bear 😁
Hi Dani, Roo is incredible and my husband and I are in complete love with him……THANK YOU for all your doing for him, you’re right, he knew you both could help him…..you’re an amazing couple and the dedication you’re both giving to Roo is admirable and he’s so lucky to have you both……I wish everyone was like you…..xxx❤xxx
I've watched my squirrels with more emotion since meeting Roo. One was smuggling out pillow fluff and I was cheering him on instead of shooing him off. Thank you for sharing your gift of grace and beauty.
Oh my gosh, this is one of the best nature videos I've seen in a long time, your story telling and narration is excellent. I was so overcome with so many emotions watching this, and being a squirrel lover myself I was sad to wonder if the 2 squirrels I feed would ever need help. Thank you Dani, for your wonderful videos. Much love from Susan in the 🇬🇧 xxx ❤❤❤
Our dogs brought a baby squirrel in (many years ago) curled up little guy bleeding from his nose, eyes closed, certainly was very young, we bottle fed him, nutured him through squirrel pox etc, until he was full grown, then we tried releasing him the next spring in our back yard (lots of big trees) but he was terrified of the open sky!-so I put his cage out there, covered with a towel, water, food, and left the door open, and wiithin 4-5 days he was checking things out, and he succesfully transitioned in the end. We saw "bubbles" all that summer and the next, he grew very large! Anytime we'd go out there, if he came by, he'd charge over and run up our leg to sit on our shoulder(s) -painful if you had shorts on... he certainly lived past 3 yrs...but we didn't see him after that 3rd winter...
I'm so so pleased that Roo made it through ok and doing great. I truly believe you should keep Roo as a kind of wild pet. Keep his enclosure, make it bigger but don't risk releasing him and losing him. Roo is so special and loved, he knows it and he loves you both. You have done an amazing job with him.
You know they won't do that. Even if he does come back regularly, he will learn to survive as a wild squirrel amd raise a family, or die trying. It has already been worth it for the love they've shared and the experiences both sides have had that both sides normally wouldn't get. And for us and everyone that watches this series. 💙💙💙
Hi Dani, it's so incredibel to see you so intimate with Roo, but I know he is a wild animal, thank God he's feeling better, he'll find his way into the wild, thank you Dani for this incredibly beautiful video 🐿❤️❤️❤️
Amazing work! I hope he lives long and does well in the wild.
In the future if you find another baby squirrel it might help them survive better if you let them forage for food early on. You could hide nuts and pine cones around the enclosure or make little foraging toys out of toilet paper rolls etc. I know a lot of wild life rehabers do the same with wild animals to help them learn important foraging skills. And even if the animal can never be released back into the wild it really helps them to be engaged and use their brains
I really like these Series! Squirrels are amazing. Didn’t actually know how conscious they are about family. Its really cute, and so amazing he knew he could get help. Really smart.
I really don't think that being wild matters, he is free to go wherever he likes, and to come back home when he wants to. That is the perfect life for anyone.
It does matter. Dependency will only kill it.
(Edit: I should elaborate, dependency would keep it physically alive, as it is now getting food from you, however also killing it's ability to self-sustain and training the next generation of squirrels to also become dependent on human involvement, drastically altering the nature of the species.)
The whole idea of returning a squirrel to the "wild" makes no sense since squirrels live amongst people anyways. We use to have a couple of trees in our backyard in our old home and there were wild squirrels who lived there and often roam around in our yard. You can see them in parks and most residential areas. Just release the squirrel in your backyard and let him live in a nearby tree if he wants.
@@tomtube1012 or, don't intervene to begin with and you won't have any problems neither will the natural systems in place. Human ego _thinks_ it knows best
@@domestinger8805 They already intervened. You can't turn back time. Also, if they hadn't intervened, it would have been dead already. So this just proves you were wrong about dependency killing it, it's non-intervention that would have killed it. 😃
@@domestinger8805 Also, it's not about human ego, it's about human compassion and saving a baby squirrel from suffering a painful death.
I ❤how Roo has the will to live 😊Wishing you guys the best with his next release.I can't fib, I was dropping a few tears 😢while watching. Go Roo!
Oh girl, you do very special things.
Thank you for this nice report.
Now for me there is only the long wait for the next episode.
Greetings from the Netherlands, (Haarlem).
I love looking at this type of videos. It helps humans to take care of any animals that needs help. How thankfully the animals will be for the humans who saved their lives and healed them. I would like to see more of these videos. Well done and keep it up.
I´m looking forward to each new episode. Cheers folks!
6:55 that peep from behind her right shoulder before doing a long jump onto a branch. MAGIC.
I love these videos Dani you've done a fantastic job with little Rue. It's made me subscribe, good on you and thanks for sharing this lovely story
I think it's great that there are people like you who take time to save animals.
What a beautiful area you live in. Up where my uncle used to live in Port Hope, Ontario, there was a river nearby where the salmon went up. If I had the means, I'd live out closer to nature like this. Great channel, love Rue! I hope he makes it thru everything. The bond between you two is special!
I was crying for that little Roo. Thank you for your patience and love of wildlife.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hello dear Danni, I have a couple of squirrels every day on my balcony in Berlin. They're so cute and adaptable. I love these animals. And you're a super squirrel mom and animal lover. Keep it up.
Your House looks very Swedish!
Love it!!!
She's making squirrel famous, I mean one of her Squirrel, Peaches, is even a movie star! (Dune 2022)
You are such a lovely person. From your stunning smile to your realization that Roo needed to be released. Just an all around great person. ❤
Hi Dani, thanks a lot for sharing your story with us! I love squirrels!❤
That's just completely awsome and loving had to be a wonderful feeling of acomplishment
Wow, what a great series this has been.
Dear Dani you're doing fantastic work,,, especially you took care of little squirrel when she got ill that was heart touching... even I felt at one point of time that is she dead or so but thank God she was alive and later survived with your endless efforts....👏👏👏👍👍👍❤❤❤
I'm so happy Roo is better, I was so afraid he was sick 😢 but now I'm happy again 🤗 Roo is a beautiful and fighter baby 🐿 I think it's better he stays at home with you 😢❤ I know he's a wild animal, but I thing he likes to sleep warm and cozy 🦦 and he loves to eat avocado 🥑 I'm sure he won"t find that kind of food in the wild 😢 And if he never learn how to be warm in the wild?😢😢😢
Very sweet how squirrel appreciates the care and friendship established over time.
What a wonderful video. I've seen them all and I'm excited to see what happens next. I really hope that the story has a good ending.
Kind regards from Austria. 🙂
Amazing devotion, well done
I live in UK suburbs, a friend found a tiny baby squirrel & took him in.. He did well & through the summer lived free in the garden but returned indoors at night.. Eventually he moved very gradually into the woodlands behind the garden but still returned "home" every two to three days for extra food.. Now sometimes he still visits & will tap on the kitchen window!! Wild ones are far more more intelligent than we give credit foe. Thank you for helping Roo, every life is a precious spark.
Oh my word, seeing Roo doing his zoomies on the trees was such a delight to watch and I was brought to tears at his return and subsequent illness! Thank God you managed to get the antibiotics for him, you've done an amazing job with this little fascinating Squirrel.
