The comment or question (for the upcoming Roo Q&A video), with the most thumbs up will win a free fine art print from the Roo collection. Thank you so much for the continued love on this series! I really wanted to make them special so it's taken some time to edit. Last update - the crowdfunder will go live in a few weeks (still confirming all the details). Squirrelly wishes, Dani

I am an ecologist and keen wildlife photographer who caught Lyme disease whislt doing surveys. The disease has left me disabled, and as a result I am severely restricted in my ability to undertake surveys or wildlife photography. I discovered this channel a year ago whilst in my hospital bed and I cannot thank you enough for the inspiration and therapeutic value it has provided. Thank you Dani.

You should win a video award for the Roo series! It was awesome and touched people around the world.

With Roo being a female, not only did you save her, you saved all the kits she will have and all the generations after.

The ears! The tail! The FLOOF! So lovely to have a Roo update ❤

I am a retired photojournalist and I must say that your videos are top notch and your photography is at the level I’d be proud to achieve.

Your Roo series should get awards for your fine work. Thank you with my whole heart for your work. ❤

This made me cry, She is so beautiful. All the squirrels are so beautiful. Thanks for these videos and thanks for taking care of Roo.💕💕

Maybe Roo would recognize Dani if she wasn't wearing the heavy coat & hood? But Roo being fully wild is indeed the best outcome.

I'm so glad Roo is around! Perhaps she felt abandoned whilst you were gone on your 3 month trip but it still feels like home so she's around? What you've done for Roo is uniquely special and I think it's a very natural and human thing to do to want to save an injured or orphaned baby animal. The fact that you never forgot that Roo needed to remain wild is the most important thing you could have done for her and you did successfully release her back into the wild. Thank you Dani for renewing my faith in humanity as being kind and empathetic! Truly spectacular job!

I teared up when you discovered Roo and that she has been there with you all along. I have loved following along with the story of her rescue and release. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with her with the rest of the world!

Roo is so beautiful! I’m so glad she’s exactly where she belongs. You did an amazing job raising her. ❤️🐿

Thank you Dani. This one brought a tear to a 65 year old's eye. You gave Roo a fabulous start in life. Well done!

Tears in my eyes, so happy to see Roo in fine conditions. I am sure, Roo has not forgotten you and that what you have done for him/her. Maybe, Roo was a little not amused that you leave him for a while. Thanks for sharing it.

It's great to see that Roo is living a totally independent life. Your motherly skills have paid off.......

Thank you, Dani, for taking me on this journey. This is a very cherished series, lovely made and interesting throughout each minute. Also some wonderful shots of the country side, squirrels, and other wildlife. ❤️

Though it breaks a small part of my heart to hear that she doesn't recognize you I'm so glad that she is fine and I think it is a great outcome of Roo's story.

This was really wonderful and it doesn't matter to me that Roo is a female. It was just so nice to see her again and I think the reason Roo stayed away is that she is pregnant. It is also great that you have the crowdfunder. Many thanks Dani!

Thank you for saving Roo. If only squirrels could talk. Imagine her telling her Kit's one day, Her upbringing. Job well done ❤

Be proud of what you and Juan achieved Dani, reintroducing Roo back to her habitat and now thriving. Great series, worthy of awards.

Illegal or not-you absolutely did what was right by baby Roo. This little girl would not have survived without your love and care and whilst I appreciate at times nature should take its course, it’s not always what’s right ❤. I would have happily broken the law for her 🩷.

Three months must be a long time in the life of a squirrel. So it is not that surprising that Roo has changed during this time. But she stayed close to your home. So it is her place. This hasn’t changed.

Love the laugh! "What I did was kind of illegal! Hah!" You deserve your own TV series.

She is so beautiful, Dani. Well done, both you and Juan, for gifting her this life. I’m beyond thrilled that she is thriving and stays close to your home :)

The realization that Roo was there all along, and you realizing it by the nose...priceless emotion! Thx for your continued work!!

Thank you for letting us participate in Roo's journey!

Thank you for updating us on Roo! And letting us know all is well 🙂🐿️❤️

I’m inspired by the way you were able to care for Roo and also be ok with her release. We have such attachments as humans which often prevents us from connecting with creatures or people that may be temporary relationships. You are brave and vulnerable, Dani! Thank you for modeling such kindness. 💕

Stunningly beautiful video...beautiful Roo...and heartwarming series. It's one of my favorite KZfaq series ever!!! Thank you, Dani, for following your heart and sharing this love with the world. ❤❤❤

Roo is pure love. ❤😊

Congratulations and well done. This truly is the best outcome for the squirrel. Much better to have a wild life than one attached to humans. This is a real success story.

Beautiful video and sharing of you and Roo reuniting! It brought tears to my eyes and opened my heart to all wildlife. I live in the Mojave Desert and in 2015 we were hit by wind gusts over 100 mph. A local roadrunner who would visit every day to look for lizards and other food did not show up the next day. When he returned his leg was disconnected at the area where it connects to his body. I didn't think he would make it but every night he sleep on a ledge on my porch outside my front door. I decided to feed him since he couldn't hunt and I put a homeopathic remedy in the water bowl on the porch. Over the next few days, he ate, drank and spend the day around my rural cabin. Then I noticed his leg was healing so that he could use it like a peg leg hopping on it. His claw was withered but stiff enough that it supported him. Later that year he was mating and continued sleeping under my porch for the next few years. I hope your journey with Roo continues. Thanks for sharing this story Dani.

Everything about this series - the uplifting narrative, the immersive camera work, and the loving narration - competes to be the most beautiful part. The joy of this story is only increased by how much of a joy the videos are to watch. Thank you so much for sharing!

So glad Roo is thriving.

Wow I was holding my breath as I watched to see what had happened to Roo. What a wonderful outcome Dani….💕🇬🇧

Ohhhhh, I need a tissue! Sweet, sweet Roo. She was always there 😭💕😭💕😭💕. Thank you so much for sharing this update! 💗

You and your friend saved Roo’s life. I think Roo may still remember you in time. You might try to jog “her” memory. 😊🐿️

This video has given me hope. i made friends with a little female last year and she would let me pet her and her nests were destroyed by a storm and she moved further down a tree line. i have not seen her for two months.

That was brilliant sleuthing! And you did an amazing job raising her. TY for this update. My heart is warmed.

Hand rearing Roo illegal!? Illegal smeegle...you saved a beautiful baby squirrel who otherwise would have died. You did your best to re-wild her, and it's been successful. What more could anyone ask for. Well done and much love to you and Roo!

I'm so glad seeing Roo alive and healthy. 😃 Dany, your video makes my heart full of love. ❤🐿️ Thank you so much. 🙏

There's a possibility she was friendly to other humans too, but something bad happened with a human encounter during the 3 months you were gone, and now she's nervous around people overall. Dani you saved a life and brought Roo's story to people all over the world, and I'm really grateful you did. Sending warm wishes and luck to you and Roo (and her future kits)!

Yay! Roo has grown to be such a beautiful squirrel! Glad you found her and she is wild & free! ❤️

5:58 I felt goosebumps and got emotional. The transitional filming is wonderful in so many ways

Good or Bad -- I held off reading the comments because you are such a gentle storyteller that I wanted you to be the one to let me know about Roo's life. I have so enjoyed watching this series and your other with the penguins. Even though taking in and caring for a little red squirrel is maybe illegal, would you do it again and have you ever thought about writing a children's book with stories of Roo's adventures? Thanks again Dani, I think you are amazing and so talented.

19:11 beautiful smile 😂 This video made my heart jump for joy! I'm glad, like thousand others, that she is in good shape and alive! Thank you so, so much Dani, for the heartwarming Roo serie! Every little second was worthy to watch. Greetings from Austria

She grew into such a beautiful squirrel! It’ll be so fun to see if she has babies in the future.

Hi Dani, I couldn't stop smiling, whilst watching the gorgeous squirrel footage. I felt such joy and when you found Roo...wow, my heart took a leap. You capture the mystical feel of the forest, the wonder of nature and take us openly, into your world. Thank you for what you bring into my home and heart xx

What a beautiful suprise Dani....Roo is a little girl and she is absolutely beautiful. You did a great job raising her and putting her back in the wild.

Fantastic story! I'am glad Roo finally adapted to the wild life. It was pleasure watching her on this video.

It's amazing you found your precious Roo, so now that's she's a girl and very precious I think she deserves to be called Rooby.

I am so pleased you found this captivating ball of fluff again on your return home, they are such delightful creatures. The future of red squirrels is in safe hands and we can all make a difference. I remember in 2019 we had an enormous wild fire come through where we live in Australia it was terrifying. The sound of the birds and animals had gone from the bush and the despair we felt was all consuming. We fed Kangaroos and their young for months after, now you would not know it had happened they still bring their families to visit and the despair we felt then has all but disappeared. The trips to your home I believe would be enchanting. Thank you

i hoped roo would have welcomed you with a hug x

When I was a young teenager our cat brought a baby squirrel home in its mouth. The squirrel was still alive and my parents raised it. Eventually it became too big to stay in the house and they let it out in the yard. It climbed a tree and live there. Occasionally we would call it and it would come down and visit us.

Dani, have you thought about wearing the black hoodie now that it's getting warmer outside, so maybe Roo will recognize you. Because she hasn't seen either you or your boyfriend in winter clothes. It's good that you managed to re-adapt Roo to be wild in the wild. Have seen many KZfaqs where people have kept wild animals in captivity, such as squirrels, beavers, raccoons. black panther and so pumpkin in captivity. The people who have done that do not understand that wild animals should be out in the wild and not inside their homes. I like watching your movies, as I feel calm watching your clips.

Dani, you should be so proud of what you have accomplished here. Thanks to you, the squirrels and the world appreciation of them is higher than ever. As a huge squirrel fan myself, I am in your debt. Your calendar also rocks, I received it as a gift and LOVE it !!!!

The work and love you invested in your Roo series absolutely shows, and it was so uplifting to discover how things turned out. Much-needed soul food in our often trying times.

You're back! And with a Roo story!

Well done Dani mission accomplished Roo is free and independent. TY for this series, it was beautiful.

I'm not crying you are! Don't really have a question for the Q&A Just a comment that you can be proud you raised this little squirrel into a beatiful wild squirrel that has obviously learned how to survive the harsh winters in Sweden, thank you!

Look at Roo now ! Beautiful and majestic and thriving ❤ well done for giving her love and care when she most needed it. Thank you so much for this series and all your hard work in making this series and saving Roo ❤❤❤

Amazing. My sister went to South Georgia Island; my brother-in-law took pictures of what to me seemed an infinite number of penguins. An NG photographer gave this advice to him: Wait, wait, wait until the animals come to you. Which is what you do.

Thank you for this update on Roo. I so wanted her to recognize you and come to you!! I was heartbroken.💔 But it’s so good that she is doing well and your goal is accomplished. Roo is a wild squirrel.🐿️ It seems her future is bright. Thank you!!❤️🐿️❤️

I can't tell you how much this warms my heart! Thank you from Michigan ❤

Roo knows who you are, she proudly showing you everything you have taught her....plus she is a Beautiful fully fledged Squirrel saying " Look At Me"......well done you, its been an absolute pleasure to watch this series. Thankyou.

Wow! Thank you so much for the follow up video. Like everyone else who has been watching, I fell in love with Roo and I’m so happy to see that SHE made it through the winter and is doing well. I hope to see the occasional update in your videos so we can continue to watch Roo grow and thrive. Thanks again for this series!

I’m so glad you & Juan are safely home. Such a beautiful winter wonderland! What a beautiful young lady squirrel Roo has become in her gorgeous red coat. I’m so happy Roo survived the cold. In time, she may become friendlier. This is proof for the government of Sweden that squirrel rehabilitation is possible & workable. Thank you so much for sharing the video update & happy surprise! 🥰🥰

I too rescued and rehabbed two 5 week old baby red squirrels who were running around on a busy street. I dismounted my bike and they ran and climbed all over me having fun. I put them in my pouch and did the every 3-4 hrs feeding routine. In short they eventually decided on their own to be wild. Fine with me. Ginger the runt female and Rusty the brat male are now over a year old and have been coming every morning and throughout the day to be fed my meals of Sunflower Seeds and peanuts. I have a big Maple tree that they learned to climb in as babies right out my dining room window. And like your Female, my Ginger is the sweetest. Neither of them touch me, and Rusty runs way up the tree, but Ginger stays low and watches me as if saying hi!

Thank you Dani for taking me on this wonerful trip. Bless you Roo for being who you are.

🍃An absolute beautiful journey of little Roo from beginning to end the series was so well done! 😊

Criminally way too cute. That squirrel (and your love for it) captured my heart.

That's just made my day, that Roo is still alive and kicking, love her ears! and thank you Dani for these beautiful films you make, you're a natural!

Wow, she’s beautiful 😍 congratulations on such a successful release!!

Thank you so much for sharing this very special, full-circle journey of raising and releasing Roo. Thank you even more for saving Roo and giving her the best possible start in life so she could live her best wild life--successfully demonstrated by her fully acclimating to the wild and thriving. An exceptionally well done video series--your caring shines through your talent! Also, I look forward to the crowdfunding opportunity for the Squirrel Forest.

What a beautiful story. Well done, and I hope this isn't the last we see of the wee lass. Thanks for sharing.

She is so beautiful and was there welcoming you all along!!! Love Roo. Please continue to look for her.

Thank you for saving her and sharing the journey. Made me cry a bit.

❤How sweet. Thanks to you, Roo is living her best life!

Thank you for all you do Dani. Roo is beautiful! ❤️

Thank you, loved seeing Roo again. She's gorgeous and thank you for the wonderful series. ❤

The bond & connection between human & animal is something that can’t even be put into words…but your videos & still photographs speak volumes. Thank you, Dani, for taking us along on Roo’s incredible odyssey.

So happy you found Roo.❤ Sometimes Bad Things like her nose injury Turn Into something helpful.

good to see Roo thriving, it's just shows that hand rearing can be done, in thr right place. Well done Dani.

This journey has been incredible. So warm and beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ❤ I am so glad Roo is a wild squirrel now. Congratulations for the entire experience. You are amazing ! ❤️👍🙏

So happy you found Roo, and that you shared it with us.

Roo is so nice.All squirrels are. I love them.

Thank you Dani for keeping us up to date with Roo's progress. I have absolutely loved your videos and it's real testament to what you have done that Roo survives to this day and is a fully fledged wild red squirrel. This was such a beautiful 20 minute video really calming as well - thank you :)

I loved this series ❤. I felt so invested in it and really fell in love with Roo.🥲

It was a pleasure to watch your beautiful journey with Roo, thank you for capturing and sharing this with us

So happy Roo is ok! And looks like she's thriving. Thanks for taking us on this beautiful journey.

Dani you and roo have touched many hearts and aww us along the way. Not only is your country beautiful but so is your photography and the love for wildlife. Thank you for the r o o update absolutely perfect🤍

I love your connection to nature! I have loved this whole series! Seeing Roo through all the ups and downs has lead to many a damp Kleenex and I deeply appreciate all of your hard work. The way a human treats an animal is a good indication of how good that person is... and you are a very good person. Thank you. Nature also thanks you. Too few appreciate its full glory and now you are a part of that for me.

Maybe Roo is shy of you now because you look more like an Eskimo than her Sweet Summer Savior! 😁 I'm glad you figured it all out!! Thank you for the video, Dani!

It warms my heart to know that Roo is alive out there. She made it! ❤

This is so bittersweet... thanks so much for saving her. Wishing Roo the best life

Danni, I watched many youtubers but you touch me with your authentic way of talking, telling us your stories and simple way of living. It inspires me a LOT! Thank you ♥️🐿️🐿️🐿️

Oh gosh this is such a touching video I am crying…good tears!❤

What a heart warming video. I am so happy for you that you found ‘her’. Wow it’s so amazing, as someone mentioned, that another female is around to have little kits. ❤

Thank you Dani for another insight into your world. Roo's story highlights your love of nature and dedication to its creatures and your amazing ability to share this with others. It is a rare talent Your videos always give a pick me up on a bad day and reinforce the beauty of nature on a good one! Thank you

Thankyou for your Roo story. It has been like riding a wave of emotions. Our family loved following Roo’s growth and eventual freedom. Love from Australia.
