    I work at a bar, and we’ve got a regular squirrel friend named Nutty who everybody loves. She’ll eat right from your hand and will let you pet her like a dog! Rodents aren’t just vermin, they are living creatures that return affection and love when it is given to them. Treat animals well, this planet is their home just as much as it is ours.

    I've always admired squirrels from afar until one day a squirrel who I named Daisy came to visit me after placing almonds on my front steps. Since then, all the squirrels on my block would come to my house for food and fresh water and bring their babies. I've come to love these amazing animals and look forward for their daily visits. In the words of Anatole France, "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

    I befriended a little grey squirrel a few years ago, he'd lost his tail and I used to call him Stumpy. He used to wait for me to walk past and I used to give him hazelnuts. This little friendship lasted for a couple of years and then I realised I hadn't seen him for a while. When I watched this it bought a tear to my eye and then a smile as I remembered my dear little friend Stumpy.❤

    One of my fondest memories is of a baby squirrel sitting on my two year olds foot. I had taken her out of the car seat after getting home. I stood her up in the driveway and as I open the door to the house she wasn’t moving. She was looking down at her foot. I looked down and they was a tiny squirrel just sitting on the top of her shoe. She was afraid to move. I was in awe. I thought squirrels were afraid of people. I wasn’t sure of what to do myself. My baby moved her foot and the squirrel ran away. In hindsight it was adorable. In the moment it was shocking.

      Find a suitable spot where they can see you.
      Keep leaving something there on a regular basis. Once they start to come and get it start staying closer and closer to the spot.
      Make sure they can see you.
      Eventually you'll be allowed to stay.
      Be as relaxed as you can be and possible avert your eyes.
      Then when you think they've become comfortable enough, hold the food out.
      First up you might still have to drop it and back off but gradually they'll learn to trust you.
      Good Luck.

    Squirrels are amazing little animals! They are very intelligent, affectionate and PLAYFUL!
    I grew up with a pet squirrel named Frisky. She was my best little buddy growing up. She had a large cage for when i was at school but she had the run of my bedroom while i was home. I strung ropes from the curtain rod to the closet door to a hook in the ceiling on the far side so she had her own trapeze to run and swing on and hang from.
    Sometimes if i wasnt giving her enough attention as i layed on the bed reading, she would hang from her back legs over my head and reeeaaach waaay down to grab handfuls of my hair to pull. Over and over! She often slept curled into a ball in the corner of my pillow case. And when she wouldnt allow me to sleep in on Saturday mornings she would jump from the ropes onto the pillow i covered my head with to block out the bright sun and protect me from her. Over and over.....BOOOOMFFF!........BOOOFFF!......BOOOOOFFFF! on top of my head every 30 seconds or so with a round or two of cartwheels and donuts on my chest until i got up.
    Squirrels awake with the sunrise and an hour of intense play is ALWAYS first on their to do list followed by a big breakfast and then back to the ropes.
    She would get very excited as she heard me arriving home from school and would begin her floor routine in her cage as i came through the door.
    And she would literally rush to my shoulder, put her paws on my face and lick and kiss me as if we hadnt seen each other in months. If her arms were long enough she would hug my head. Instead she wrapped up in my hand and you would never doubt that squirrels feel emotion every bit as much as we do if you saw the smile on her face and eyes as she did.
    She was nothing but a bundle of furry love and fun.
    I took her to school on show and tell days and she was a big hit with all the kids. She liked having so many heads to use as landing pads in a series of high speed passes about the classroom.
    She could uuuhhh, clear the teachers cup of about 20 pencils and pens in about 5 seconds flat as if picking so many flowers only to find that NOPE, there really wasnt any treats in there.
    She was a huge part of my childhood and is probably the reason i am such an animal lover to this day.
    Frisky lived almost 14 years and died peacefully in my arms after a series of minor seizures when i was 19. I still miss her 30 years later.
    Ive raised and rehabbed many squirrels and a myriad of other animals over the years. Everything from butterflies and bumblebees to lizards, turtles, hawks and other birds to chipmunks and ive even kept a couple squirrels as temporary pets for a couple years here and there as they recovered from whatever ordeal brought them to me. Theyre all great little animals but Frisky will always be my best buddy. I look forward to playing with her again someday.

    Had a squirrel that would always come around we gave treats to. Took a couple years before he trusted us enough to actually come up to us. We named him Toast because one of his favorite treats was peanut butter on a piece of toast. We could always tell when it was him because his tail was a lot longer and not as fluffy as the other squirrels.

    My dad used to feed squirrels, hedgehogs and little birds from our ground floor balcony. Squirrels were really cute and got more friendly day by day and even started to eat from hand. When autumn-winter came, they started to scrape and kick windows day n night for food, some of them got in few times. Its nice thing to do for animals, and feeding them always puts a smile on my face, but remember to keep the proper distance and set boundaries. Cute or not, personally i never want to wake up and see itching wild squirrel next to me again

    Growing up I had a squirrel that I named Shirrley. 😊 She would beg for nuts at the glass slider every day. If I didn’t notice her right away, she would climb the trim around the door and hang upside down. Other times, I would put a nut on the seat of the swing set and she’d figure out how to get it. It was the best!

      @@BrendanJFox Ive been to several countries where people refer to them as 'striped squirrels' or 'golden squirrels', as they don't have particular terms like 'chipmunk' in their languages. I could be wrong, but unlike round-faced Eastern chipmunks in Canada and the US, Siberian chipmunks in Russia and China have rather a bit pointy face and don't have two distinct white lines on their back, they just have five darker brown stripes, but they are funny, cute and friendly just as much!

      Hoping to educate, for curiosity's sake!
      • Black squirrels are actually just Eastern Grey Squirrels as well - completely same species, just different fur colour.
      • Chipmunks belong to the ground squirrel subcategory within the squirrel family. Not only do they have obvious differences in habitat and living quarters from their tree-dwelling cousins, chipmunks are also classified as omnivores and eat berries, while Eastern Grey and North American Red Squirrels stick to nuts and seeds and will only on rare occasions eat insects!
      Either way, a very lovely video that reminds me of my youth - thank you! ❤
