Calling all builders!! I need squirrel nesting boxes! There are over 30 squirrels in care right now and they are headed outside to the soft release cages this weekend. If anyone can build a box, I'd very much appreciate it! I'm going to need quite a few.

I found some free plans to go by. I can use boxes of all sizes - they just have to have a predator guard in them (that's basically a small shelf inside to keep other animals from reaching inside).

Please reach out if you can help!

They just keep coming. I don't know what happened to this tiny boy but he is covered in cuts and bruises. He was cold as nd barely moving when his finder saw him. Thankfully she knew to get him warm and did not attempt to feed him. Hypothermic babies cannot digest food and trying to feed can do more harm to an already compromised baby. Once he got warmed up, his color improved greatly as did his movement 🥰

Their favorite time of day!

Everyday when I'm done with that paying job, I head home to clean cages, replenish food pellets, freshen water bowls but most importantly, fill veggie bowls. I don't think the squirrels care much about anything else I do for them but they love the veggie bowl. They immediately pick all the fruit out and eat that first. Some prefer sweet potato slices but they all love their fresh produce 😋

There are a LOT of squirrels that will be overwintering with me. Their main food is Oxbow Mouse and Young Rat Food. It is on both the Chewy and Amazon wish lists. Please consider donating towards their care this winter ❤️

Tonight I went outside to feed my larger group of opossums in the pre-release cage. I had to grab a container of water for them and heard something rustling under the house. Didn't take very long to find the source of the noise. Sitting on an empty bag of bird seed near the top of a trash can was this extremely oily and greasy little girl.

As if half the beach wasn't sending me squirrels, I now have juvenile opossums showing up at my house 😅 So. I picked her up and gave her several baths in Dawn detergent. She's clean, dried off, has a warm bed, food and formula waiting on her once she wakes up from her nap. She's been named Val (short for Valvoline 😂) and I think she landed in just the right place tonight.
