Anyone on here rehab squirrels? My age has gotten the better of me and I couldn’t toss them on the ground. Our county doesn’t show anyone on the states list so I’m not sure WTH to do with them. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/02/full-49433-414742-img_2450.jpeg)

Yep, easy to raise and some will stay somewhat friendly. They sell the little baby animal bottle at feed stores, pet stores etc and maybe some formula for them, better than just milk.

She’s on her way home now and I’m sure she’s going to be beside herself but these things are going to a new home unless I can’t find one and I guess I’ll do what I can until they can do their own thing. The last thing I need is something else to take care of but my slaughtering days are well behind me and everything but a democrat deserves a fighting chance.

Learned a long time ago not to trust those fury rats. Lived in an apartment on the second floor by the creek, lots of big cedar elms right by my balcony. left my sliding glass door open all of the time. Had a mamma squirrel come on the patio all of the time, then she started coming in, like a dumb azz I started feeding her nuts she ate right out of my hand and would hang out for a few minutes. Spent the night over at a girlfriends house and left the sliding glass door cracked so she could come in and eat the nuts I left out for her.  Came home late the next day and my favorite chair was chewed up

They won’t return a call for poachers so I’m not holding out hope for a damn squirrel, found a rehabber in the next county over so if they survive until tomorrow they’ll be in better hands.

I've got a 22 cal air rifle and 22 short subs that are itching for some squirrel.

Was just say'in, but know what you mean, should do good in a small box with warm material. Make great pets tho, had a few in the 70's when we where kids, they get into anything and will near get you kicked out of the house for the chewing things.

I have a couple of Red Tail hawks nesting out back, they would love those babies.

I actually let a couple 2’ Iguanas go yesterday they pulled from the top of w tree and I haven't killed a deer in a while now  I preferred being a killer lol but times change I guess.

We had a class squirrel in kindergarten, the teacher would let it run around the classroom. Then we had baby ducks for a short time.

Good for you O.T.
I trap nuisance rabbits in my back yard regularly. Can't bring myself to kill them.
Funny we will hunt animals, killem and eatem but when it come to this type situation I feel the obligation to help them survive.
Call it what you want. I call it being a good human.
