  • 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.

      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 :)

    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...

    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.

    • @feorag
      @feorag 9 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      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.

      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.

    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.
