For those of us that understand nature and for those of us that are rescue people understand that the call of nature, freedom in the outdoors , along with the risks, is still the best method for wild animal rehab. My bird is 33 years old this year and reading body language is important to a happy relationship. Thank you for sharing your video with the rest of us.

    Nibble + Lick = Niblick!
    I raised two eastern gray squirrels when I lived in Minnesota. This brings back many fond memories! Their behaviors and personalities were almost identical to Niblick.
    Both squirrels were “soft released” into the neighborhood like Niblick. The male, Toto, quickly dispersed to find his own territory. The female, Grubber, remained a faithful friend her whole life. She raised many families of babies in her nesting box in our back yard, but none were tame like her.
    My son raised an orphaned western gray squirrel and named her Lucky.
    Western gray squirrels are much larger than their eastern counterparts, and not as sociable - close bond with my son, and jealously protective of him. Lucky literally slept in bed with him and followed him everywhere, riding on his shoulders.
    All our squirrels used a litter box. They were very clean, playful, amazing animals.

      There are a lot of squirrels on our property where we released her, and I am hoping that she was taken in by some of them. Based on where she goes after she visits, I’m thinking she found some friends because I have seen several in that area. I do hope that she brings some babies to visit some day!

    I just had a baby squirrel adopt us here in thomasburg ont. Nursed him with an eye dropper and he is an absolute joy to have around. He behaves like a little monkey. Loves to have his play time and socializes with everyone who comes to the house. He sleeps a great deal of the time, and when we released him three times, he would not have any of it. Spent 2 days out in the tree, but wanted in at nite or. Last day he spent outside we had a horrible thunderstorm with lightening and thunder and wind and when it was over, wee Billie ran over over to the house and wanted in, and has refused to go out again, so he is quite happy to be indoors. He behaves the exact way this little guy in the video acts. Just love having him around. So glad to see so many kind hearted people out there that will take to time to help even a small animal in distress and realize the love they give you back.

    • @garywillford
      @garywillford  Год назад +1

      That's a wonderful story! Niblick has totally embraced being what she was meant to be. She comes to the house from time to time, but she was the opposite of your little one. After the first time she really stayed out for a while, she kept wanting to go back out. Even when it got cold she wanted to stay in her first tree she picked. We put nuts out every night and morning to make sure she got enough to eat and even then as time went on she came by less and less. It was sad but fulfilling at the same time.

    We just released our squirrel we raised for 5 months. We taught her everything we could and she was doing great. They kind of tell you they are ready to go on their way, leave the nest. She is now at a nature park and we have seen her doing her squirrel things and it is so rewarding that we were able to give her a chance at life. She was a victim of Hurricane Ian 2022, maybe 2 weeks old very very cold. We did a crash course on squirrels and learned so much that if is situation ever arises again we feel very confident we could do it again. Miss her very much but, like your own kids you need to let go when the times comes.

    You guys are awesome. It is so incredibly obvious how much you care for her & loved her. It was also apparent, that while she wanted to be a wild squirrel she had a hard time leaving the nest, so to speak.
    It is beautiful how she still checks in with you all & still has her favorite spot on top of your head!
    What a heartwarming video! Thank you for caring for our wildlife neighbors.

      Back in the ‘80s my daughter rescued a very thin young squirrel ( looked more like a kangaroo) . Make a long story short I took care of it and later set it free in a park in Rochester, MN. I was fine until I looked back and she was looking at me like…..” where are you going? You forgot me!!!” Yup I cried… but she had to be free !!! ❤

Thank you from every corner of my heart, for being the kind of folks to do this, to value this little being and go to all the work of saving her. ( a little life that was very close to being lost), but you came to the rescue with Pedialyte and Puppy formula 😂, bless your hearts 🥰 A lovely lovely story ❤

    • @garywillford
      @garywillford  Год назад +14

      The box was just what I had to hand when I got home…until I remembered I had a hamster cage! Did have to make a $90 run to Walmart for the formula, pedialyte, syringes, etc. But it was worth it to watch her grow and thrive.

      @jesseribbey Год назад +1

      She transitioned to the outside just at the right age because around age 2 they get more aggressive and bite's everyone who is not the original caretakers. These bites are frequent, draw blood and hurt really bad. They are inherently wild and it would take many generations to breed them out those behaviors. Great job though. It was exactly my story with "Mikey" all they way down to finding buried nuts in your clothes and having to check for any surprises in your shoes every morning before you put them on. They don't pre or poop much but after them going "wherever", your house will start to smell like a barn and he absolutely terrorized his 4 cat brothers all day, everyday except one who bit him really hard and knew he couldn't play rough with Mr. Pip anymore because he would kill him easily!! Anyways it was an awesome experience raising one but not sure I would do it again. GL to anyone who takes on this adventure. It's very rewarding yet chaotic and some difficult times. He caught a virus one day, we saw he was sick and not feeling good, then like he came he was gone the next day literally. The death was hard to deal with as well. Just fyi everone.
