So, I have a question on this, because I am sure that most haven't.
Have any of you adopted a wild animal before? Bleh, a couple days ago [Friday I believe] a baby fox squirrel, yes it was blind, fell out of my tree and I decided to pick it up with gloves and put it in a box. Now, someone noted to me that it's mother does not come back after a human hand touches it, so I "adopted it". I have fed it what it said that I should feed it, online, and it, in the little time that I have "adopted" it, has grown fast, and has opened its eyes and can see. The only thing I will have a problem with is letting it go when it gets older :sigh:. |

Ooh a baby squirrel? How do you know it was blind? Maybe it was just born, so they couldn't see anything? Maybe...
Anyways, that's sad that you have to let it go, I mean I bet the momma squirrel really misses her baby. I mean you adopted her without her permission, that's kinda like stealing hehe. But since it's all grown-up...I think you should give its freedom. And, if the squirrel wants to come back to you, then let the squirrel in. Just be sure you have a collar for your pet, squirrel. I don't think I ever adopted an animal. But I babysitted a bunny hehe. A white bunny. I named it snow white when her real name is Sony An. She's asian that's why...she's from asia. Well I don't know if it's called adoption or babysitted because we took care of that bunny for 8 months and let it go. Because this korean rich family couldn't take care of the bunny for awhile, so i told them that i will... for free. since i liked bunnies that time, but not anymore. they scare me. i dont think jenny would know this because she was like a baby lol. so yeah i was like 2 years old ^-^ |

If the "momma squirrel" doesn't come back, you naturally have to take care of it because if you don't it dies, because after all, it is a baby. 3. It's not "all grown up". He happened to be about 6 weeks old when I gave him to the rehibilitator. They are babies until they are about 12 weeks old. >.> And, emazing, read what I put a couple entries back instead of reading just my first entry >.>. I did give him away to the Humane Society, despite giving him proper treatment, as the lady told me I did. =) |
