Introducing our new rescue....

This is Skeeter....

 

Aww, how cute! How old is Skeeter?

 

We believe he is six weeks. He just opened his eyes today. He was running around lost and whining in a parking lot and I saw one of his siblings had already been hit by a car so of course I had to take him home. He is just so sweet.

 

Well, that is very sweet of you! You will have to keep us posted on his progress.

 

it just sucks when u can't turn the other way dosen't it? good for u,,you will cry when u have to turn him loose

 

Supper????? Yummy

 

What a lil' guy. Good thing you came along, you good hearted soul you!

 

Good luck. When I was a little kid my Grandpa tamed a family of Squirrels at our house to the point where they would eat out of your hand and you could pet them.

 

Damn it didnt your momma ever tell you not to touch animal's like that they will give you rabbies.

 

saved wildlife since i was a kid... most i could catch then was dead but eventually i started bringing home live hurt animals for mom to teach me how to make them well.. been at it a long long long time.... good luck .. they learn more than you can imagine

 

How is the cute little rat with the furry tail dog torturing cutie doing? Is he still making it?

 

Thanks, shall do.

Thanks.

Yes it does. LOL, but it is worth it. We have about 10 weeks they said before he can go on his own. We will continue though at that time to leave food out for him as his survival skills may take awhile to kick in.

Yuck, that is a little too country for me.

He is tiny isn't he. Thanks!!

That is awesome. I love wildlife!

LOL, at his young age (roughly six weeks) if he had rabies it would have killed him by now. His immune system couldn't take it.

It is learning process but it is neat to watch them grow. I'm learning more and more just as he is. Now with his eyes open he is trying to explore everything. LOL.

LOL, he is doing great. So far so good. He is starting to let us know when he is hungry and he sleeps almost all the time. I wouldn't have thought they are as friendly as they are but he is just great so far.

I'll post more pics later in the week. With him just opening his eyes I don't want the flash to scare him.

 

Squirrels can be big fun...I had a rescue squirrel we dubbed Riki Tiki Tavi. He was a hoot.

 

LOL! I was trying to associate all the adjectives in context, and at first all I got was:
"How is the whoodie whata whata with the furry tail dog whodoing whatie doing?"

I don't know why your post gave me the giggles-maybe I needed them...
thank you!:o

Squirrels make good pets...they are like kittens all theyre life...and about as smart as a cat too it seems but i dont really respect cats too much...lol......I hope you make him a pet they are easy to take care of...as a rule of thumb they can eat anything you can and be healthy...theyre pretty easy to maintain...

 

I like em with dumplings and fried.

 

Beer Soaked and breaded.. then fried up.. Now thats good eatin'.. But then again I've been known to eat alittle possum now and then.. been a while since the last time when my grandfather was still alive he cooked a good possum.

Skeeter the squirrel? Anyone else feel the urge to sing the classic childhood song "There's a skeet on my peter"?

 

We had one from a baby onece. To this day he still comes up to the poarch and eats out of your hand. He started to get wild and had to let him go.

 

Too cute, I love that name!!!

LOL, I did a double take on that too.

EWWW!!!! I'll take a nice steak though. LOL.

Not too much of a cat fan but we rescued a kitten last week. Poor little thing must have crawled into the engine of our truck and when we arrived at work we heard it. Spent almost all morning taking apart the truck to get the little girl out of there. She was no bigger than my hand. She's doing great now.

Aww. I'm sure he'll get wild but that is ok as long as he can make it on his own.
