- Hurricane Katrina knocked over the wee home of some precious baby red squirrels. Luckily, the orphans were quickly relocated and now live with their foster mother, Eileen, in England. We stopped by her house at feeding time to make some furry new friends. See more cute animals at vice.com/the-cu...

I raised an eastern grey squirrel and let her go about two months ago and she still visits so I can give her snacks and scratch her side (she really loves it)
Also she hates every other human which is good for her survival.
Eastern grey squirrels kill red squirrels
@@pippi2285 no they don't, what they actually do is out compete them,by eating the same food. Although gray squirrels are a lot less fussy about food than reds
@@helentee9863 they do carry squirrel pox which inadvertently kills reds as they’re not immune to it.
Lady you are the greatest ....they melt my heart to
where do they melt your heart to?
i agree - red squirrels are certainly one of the cutest (& people can be really mean to them) - i love them
They will DEAFEAT the evil of the gray squirrel
Oh my GOODNESS watching them all fall asleep at the same time wrapped around each other like human siblings do just made my heart melt! I wouldn't be able to let them go!
the world is a jungle and some animals are the good-hearted humans who have to help them, my thanks to this good-hearted lady
When the sleepy squirrel's head was being stroked, I think every shred of manliness inside of me suddenly vanished.
I know how you feel, I instinctively reached for my balls to make sure I still had them.
Me to
+Operation Sarcastic Hamster BAHAHAHAHAAHAH
Caring for & protecting others is the best ideal of manliness.
Compassion is not unmanly. Not being able to look after others than your self is unmanly. Also unwomanly, but somehow, that has never been an issue. We mammals have strong nurturing instincts - strong enough to bridge the gap between speciesm - and the instinct is not gender-based, but can be strengthened or weakened during our upbringing.
Plus, red squirrels are without the cutest animal I know. True story :)
Omg I just grinned from ear to ear the whole time I watched this. So cute, & this woman is doing god's work to take such good care of them & then release them back to the trees & freedom.
They are so cute! So lucky to have found a great foster home who knows they belong in the wild! Good for you Eileen!
Bless how lovely.
Thank you so much for uploading this caring expose about raising a batch of baby red squirrels; just gorgeous, and they wouldn't have made it without your help. Such an endangered group need all the help they can get. Delightful.
It's wonderful this woman cared enough to rescue these baby squirrels. So cute and adorable.😊❤
That woman is so kind
the cutest little things ever in life!
The ending of this video was very bittersweet TTnTT
Red squirrels are so cute >~
I had two tiny squirrels whom we saved and kept at home n treated like our own babies. They were so active n naughty so we named one as naughty n d other one as sweety. I can call it as my happiest days n watching them always never made me bored. Trust me they are the cutest ones. They both died. one due to an accident n the other was sick... Miss them so much...
once they are healthy and fit enough to go back into the wild i truly hope she isn't to sad about releasing the little babys back into the wild
I'm happy to see that the babies are well . They are incredibly cute . Thanks for sharing
such an angel job..
Hurricane Katrina was in New Orleans, so how did the squirrels wind up over in England? Despite my geographical confusion, I loved watching these beautiful babies play with their Mother.
Yes I agree it's ALL ABOUT THE TUFTS!!! SOOO ADORABLE!!!!!
So sweet! Don't see them too often anymore.
They are adorable! Thank you for sharing!
they are the cutest things and different from the reds up here in new england.. thank you for caring for them =D
I think the word "cute" just isn't enough to describe these animals. We have to invent a new word for it :D
agree there super cute
still not enough :D
i love red squirrels
yeah the're pretty cute, but the coolest animals for me are still flying squirrels. Just imagine how cool life would be if you could use your own fur as a wingsuit :)

We need more people like Her
Much respect to vice for these videos i love em
Ma'am, you be affored a special place in heaven. Suffer the little ones to come unto me, or some such.
Awwwww... that's really all I can say... awwwww
AWWWWWWWW..........I love red squirrels....
They are adorable!!!!!!
Oh the little hammock for the squirrel to sleep in! They are lucky squirrels, this lady is a fabulous squirrel mom! Yes, those little tufts on the ears get me too.
Squirrels are one of the cutest rodents. :)
I thought I had it under control with Kittens videos but now I realise that was just the start.
Eilene is a lovely woman.

This women is living my childhood dream!
I lost my baby squirrel a few days ago so I'm watching these hoping it will cheer me up some
I live in Northern Ontario, in Canada. and theres tons of these little wild guys. They are cute but they can be little pests, and by pests I mean they get under siding, get into insulation, and stuff like that. They don't mean to be pests they just try to find new spots for their nests and find materials to make their nests.
too freaking adorable!
So precious! :)
Hurricane Katrina, northumberland, 2011, something doesn't add up....
There are good people in this world
just wonderful!
aww, what a sweet woman too,
I raised orphaned grey squirrels when I was a kid. I had five, they were the most fun I experienced that summer. When I walked into my room they would dive on me and chase each other around (btw they have sharp claws). Never bit me, just played and slept.
Who could thumb down a video with baby squirrels? Some people are heartless.
Im gonna have to agree wıth her, red squırrels are about the cutest thıngs ever :)
...the lovely squirrel lady. They just "go nuts" over her!
So cool I love our red .Freedy!
SNUGGLE! :) loved that at the end was just to cute!!!!!
OMG! they sleep together :')
awww, how cute when they are going to sleep at end :)))
Cutest squirrel video by far!!!
I was gonna lose my s*** before she said she was gonna reintroduce them. Thank you so much for being responsible madam. And thank you Dodo for giving publicity to the right kind of animal lovers.
from 6 years i'v finally came back to me you
I love them they are so cute we were studying them in school and we watched this video
Red squirrel = best squirrel!
I wish I had their life.....man....:-/
Awwww
soooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuut
love how they sleep XD
Red squirrel nap time = off the radar cuteness
They climb her the way the squirrels around here climb trees!
Gawd, cuteness overload
Delightful
them sleeping is the cutest
I prefer grey squirrels but those squirrels are absolutely gorgeous.
This video made me so happy😂
Wouldn't it be dangerous for them to be released if they grew up in captivity!?
MissPurpur Not if they are released correctly. There is a hard release or soft release option with wildlife. Most injured wildlife are fine with a hard release, which is literally open the door and let them go. Orphaned wildlife that has been handreared like my squirrels, can't be hard released as they have to learn how to find their own food etc, so they have a soft release. These squirrels were a late litter, so wouldn't have had time to cache a larder to get them through the winter. So they were put in a pen in the garden where they were originally found and looked after over the winter, with minimal human contact. In late spring the door to the pen was opened and they were left to their own devices as to whether to leave or stay, but food was constantly left for them, long after they left the pen, until they learned self sufficiency.
awww
When it comes to squirrels, red squirrels are probably some of my favorites. Both the European/British variety and the ones we have in America. As far as I am aware I've only seen red squirrels here where I live though I'll have to have a closer look.
+Halcyon Industries (KerianH) the european ones are somehow cuter than the british ... they are a bit darker/red and no white spot ... just super adorable
so sweet!!
Red squirrel orphans! Aw, poor little fellers...
This woman is a Disney princess
cutest ending ever
Lil squirrels awwwwwww 🐿🥜😚
I can't find me balls. Oh...there they are. Thought I lost them for a few minutes here.
Dude after i watched i had meat check myself

Lovely babies , I’d love to raise some
Ah, dang. Well, have fun in college, it's 1:14am here atm, and I should be doing my functions assignment. Time for bed. Haha.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes me very sad that her children left her and she is very lonely. At this age her children should be visiting her all the time. It’s what I really appreciate about Indian and Chinese culture that they look after their folks.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute
Very much. It's a great stress relief and it's lots of fun. Oh, and eurasian red squirrels are not an endangered species.
I need to drive a powerstroke lift weights shoot guns and listen to heavy metal after this video....

Forever Alone.
I LOVE THE CUTE SHOW!!!!!
Omg so cute!
As an animal lover, I love all species even those considered to be vermin and I get very sad when I hear people say the greys are killing the reds, because it just isn't as simple as that. We have known for years that the greys were out-competing the reds and we've ignored it, now we have this big drive to try and save them, when in my opinion it's too little too late.
9 years la8tr 2020👍❤
We have adopted a lot of animals from England, but the squirrel was not one.
Fox, yes.
this was awesome.
Where I can apply for a job? I swear I can help Eileen to take care of these beauties! :D
That was cute no dought about it
Sooooo cute
awwwwwwwww
That is great, so interesting they explore and look about all day then just like any toddler they get tired by days end, ready for a good rest. Animal rehabilitation is important work.
One minute ad, no skip button.
That tune at 0:00 freaked me out 0_0
They are quite a rare sight in the uk..
I am surprised the cat doesn't kill them. But I hope all the little ones are out own there own at this time since they grow so fast. I wish an updated video would be shown if they adapted to life outside the house.
