Well done for being their guardian angel. Some other people don't deserve animals.

Sounds like they haven’t experienced perhaps the necessary milestones in life to even recognize the significance of their actions. Come from a place of compassion and forgiveness, but I’m personally relieved you stepped up and were vigilant. ❤️

LOL my feelings exactly. Some people are so obtuse that they can't see what's in front of them - that is your neighbor. Thankfully, you were there to help that squirrel momma.

So sad. I am glad you stepped in to keep her alive.

Thank you so much for stepping up and caring for an innocent being 💙🙏🏾

Yep, that's what it sounds like to me too, the lucky lady! 😊

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yes, I agree!!

Only if she can learn to remain detached in her feelings and not raise the squirrel as she did this one. Way to many rehabers over expose the animal to human contact. It jeopardizes their ability to be released which is the actual purpose of being a wildlife rehaber. I've also seem rehabers who can't maintain some level of detachment end up in a hoarder like situation because they can't euthanize a wild animal that is non releasable. It's one thing when you've got the money & appropriate space for a few "educational" animals who couldn't be released. But when you're a rehaber, within a year you'll run into blind squirrels, possums who've lost their tail, animals that have seizures etc. and you'll bury yourself trying to save them all.

@@TheToxicP shut up, damn

Johnny, totally agree! In fact, for me, animals are better than most humans.

I think squirrels can form some kind of bond with humans that care for them. I've seen it happen.

Trick or treat...lol😂

Aww you have pet rats? Lucky! I feed squirrels and the birds, I also have a groundhog family that I feed in my yard, I could have a KZfaq channel at this point! lol. Squirrels are so intelligent and adorable, they’re my favorite.

@@shellyrae777 I've probably had about 80 rats in my lifetime. I love them all so much. I have two opossums living in my garage over the winter. I made them warm nesting boxes and feed and water them nightly. I felt so broken hearted today. I came home from work to see one of the 12 squirrels was hit on the road. I pretty much have a heart attack every time they would take nuts and run across the road. This was the 1st to get hit in the last 8 months. Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later but not a great Valentine's day. I'm just sick about it. I hope it wasn't the one that ate from my hand. 😭

@@critterallywithjohnernest. I’m sorry, it’s Heartbreaking when they get run over. You sound like a kind soul. It was really nice of you to do that for the Opossums. Can you imagine if we lived near each other it would be a zoo, lol.

@@shellyrae777 thank you for the kind words. I shouldn't get so attached to them but it is hard not to. Especially when you start to have a trusting bond with them. It takes a very long time to get it and then it's gone in an instant. Maybe we live close by, who knows? I live in Fond du lac Wisconsin. I live jn the city but with all the animals here you would think it's the country. Take care. 😊

It is still a wild animal and can carry rabies.

If she is not exposed to a rabid animal, she will not have rabies.

@@juanitathompson3039 It’s very rare for squirrels to get rabies. I’ve volunteered in wildlife rehab for 7 years, attended to hundred of squirrels of all ages, and have never seen an incident.

@@juanitathompson3039 That is just a myth. Squirrels don't have rabies or carry rabies unless they were exposed to an animal or it's feces who has rabies. Even wild rats don't typically have rabies. No small animal out in the wild has rabies. It's only the larger wild animals, like a fox, who can actually have rabies.

@@rhondaborders3452 Yes! Exactly! Very true!💖🐿️🐾

Sadly a channel named “lol” stole your comment, they just flipped the 2 parts of the message.

That's a nice thought. Taking care of you as you did for her. I love this story. Doubt a random squirrel would be brave (care) enough to plant stuff in your pots. It must be her.

I bet she was!!!!

it must have been her. I wouldnt have thought it could be random. So awesome.

Planting? I think she may be hiding acorns in your pots (safe place for her) for winter months 🤔😇

saw a squirrel

@@tashunka68 thank you

Wish rats lived as long as squirrels. Fern is adorable. Lucky Fern lucky mom. X

@@squirrelmanning7889 How long do they have approximately? They sure are cute animals too.

@@squirrelmanning7889 And yes, every time i see one of these stories where a lucky human is gifted by finding one of those little nuggets in their yard...that would require you have a yard first of all i assume, i get this "when is it my lucky day? when does one little creature need me to take care of them?" ....mehhhh.....i suppose these are the symptoms of a childless, loveless life, when you find yourself all alone, without anyone needing your love.....sad.

@@lowandodor1150 what a sad comment. And outlook 🙁 I bet you could find any number of creatures who need you to love and care for them! Have you been to your local shelters? Or maybe considered being a foster parent to a real child? There really is no end to needy individuals if you look a little bit further than just your front yard. In the meantime, I would love to be penpals and keep you company while you're searching. What say ye?

@@lowandodor1150 Rats only live 2 to 3 years like possums. Squirrels can reach 18!

Hopefully a vegan world :). All animals deserve a life free of abuse by us.

@@11235Aodh So a life free of humans? No large vegan society has ever survived. Ever.

@@The_Rob_D What we have done is not a good indicator of what we can and should do. We can live and thrive on a plant based diet. If you're interested, check out the long living vegans interviews on Vegan Linked youtube page. Have a great day!

It would be a vegan world.🌱

@@The_Rob_D We're already at the stage where we can manufacture artificial meat from cells etc, so there will come a point where we've not only got the process down and efficient but also fast and cheap, economical. Then we have the best of both worlds (That's my opinion anyway, if you disagree that's cool too =) )

Probably "Eastern Gray" squirrels.

@@williamjordan5554 Thanks. My knowledge of squirrels is basic. I mainly know they should be hibernating now, so must have a serious need of good food. A chance encounter when returning from a visit to my doctor...

100% agree. Vets like all other doctors are supppsed to do no harm. Well it's harmful for animals to be put to death unnecessarily. The only time an animal should be euthanized is if it is extremely ill with no chance of recovery or if it has a deadly contagious disease. We have to take care of animals and each other. Animals make the world a much better place for all of us & can teach us much about ourselves, as well as how to overcome obstacles & unconditional love.

in my area there is lots of feral cats/kittens i live in a poor backwoods state we only have a few animal rescues n they stay booked so if i find one i try to TnR the ones i can but what breaks my heart the most is i have found 1 kitten so loveable but needed vet care i hav no money but i took it to the vet anyways n begged them to at least test the kitten see what’s wrong n i would tak it home n help it best i could however the vet said no we can’t help the cat for free but we can humanly put it to sleep wtf how is that humanly!!! A neighbor knowing i try help ferals when i can brought me a beautiful kitten that was attacked by 6 small dogs the cat wasn’t seriously injured but was bleeding, ears full of mud, and had severe anxiety i knee going to the vet was out so i did what i could to help her it’s been 2 months she’s doing great but anxiety n ptsd is bad she can’t go back outside at all so i’m hoping to adopt her to a loving home!!! 2 weeks ago my heart was breaking i head a cat crying i called it over n to my horror this cat had been attacked by a raccoon it was bad n infected i called vet begging for help for this sweet hurting cat they told me they would put it to sleep or i could pay 1,000s i hav no money!! i tried trap the cat everyday for a week when it came to eat but he hasn’t came back he may hav died which is so sad i know he’s in a better place n at least i got to feed him but it makes me so mad how selfish n greedy vet docs can be i mean isn’t that y God gifted u with the ability to become a vet to help His animals? i know a vet has be paid but they not only triple charge u but they will let an animal suffer b4 helping it n that to me is jus wrong!!! i will continue to help ferals n TnR but it breaks my heart i can’t do more for the ones who need it!!!!! FYI with the last cat i called every rescue, animal organizations n etc but not one was willing to help this cat!!!
